My spring term doesn't begin until two days after the Super Bowl. Hurrah!

My spring term began last Monday. At least we get this Monday off - might I add, I have 4 classes on Monday, which is basically hell on Earth.

Last semester ended on December 21st, so our winter break had to set some sort of record for shortest college winter break ever. I really wish I could have gotten at least another week off - it felt like break was just starting when we went back to school. Bleh.

Still in winter-mini session. That's hell on Earth! Especially a four-credit theory class! :giveup:

Spring classes don't start until Friday, but I have a three-hour Friday class and a three-hour Sunday (!) class. So I will be about halfway through my first week when most students schlep to their Monday classes next week.

I have classes six days a week (with Monday's and Wednesday's being the only days I only have one class) and I'll probably be working four days a week. :(

I already had my fall semester finals & mid-terms. Two more quarters (at my regular school.. I studied at UMass-Amherst as a domestic exchange student): mid-terms and finals for both quarters and I am done with school forever!! :D

I can't wait but I'm kind of sad at the same time.

I never had midterms in high school. God bless block scheduling.

Finals are long over, and I've got one semester to go.

When college is over, I'll miss the friends, but not the classes. What pains in the ass they've been these last 4 years.

My daughter is in high school and all this week (starting tomorrow of course) is mid-terms. It's ridiculous actually. They only have to go to school for the test or Regents, then they can come home.
She has one final tomorrow at 7:30 in the morning, one Thursday at 11:30 am and one next Monday (because she had 2 exams scheduled in one day, so they have a make-up day).

Wed and Fri she has no school at all.

It's Regents Week (New Yorkers know what it's all about). I have to take Chemistry and the English regent this week.

English shouldn't be that much of a problem, but I'm not looking forward to Chemistry.

Wow its been 6 years since I've taken the Chem regents. I did pretty well compared to others. It was the first year of the new regents format and eeeevryone failed. The English regents I did terrible on. Which is weird considering I'm gooder at English then Chemistry. I miss taking regents exams. Those were fun.

Haha, the Regents exams. I took out my frustration over their idiocy by wrecking all of them.

English isn't bad, since you know what's coming. Chem will probably be lame though.

I have not had more than one week off of school since the beginning of last Spring semester and after this Spring semester is over I'll have another three-week mini-term sentence. After spending almost 18 consecutive months in school, I will be more than ready for a two-month vacation before I start my senior year. In the last two years, I had one winter session off and only one summer session off (both of which I had to work on campus anyway).

You're crazy. Why would you do that?

You're crazy. Why would you do that?

In all fairness, most of that (up until this Fall) was at a CC (don't get me wrong, I still had some very demanding classes, but those were the exception); at my job there, I worked less than half the time I was on shift while my other hours were spent sitting at a desk doing homework. I really messed up my first two years, so I knew no matter what I did, my transcript was going to look pretty crummy, so I settled for mediocrity (and when I was told I would be accepted at almost any SUNY or CUNY school as long as I graduated from the CC, any incentive I had to earn good grades went away).

If I hadn't taken summer classes at the CC (History, Modern Poetry, Health, PhysEd... 11 credits in two summers), I wouldn't have graduated in August. As it was, I was already graduating ridiculously late after high school and I just wanted to move on with my damn life.

Now I'm taking winter and summer classes to lessen the blow during senior year(s) when I have to take almost exclusively junior and senior classes (I'm a double major so it's going to be difficult). I REALLY want to graduate in May, preferably 2009 than 2010.

Good luck to all who have exams. As much as work sucks sometimes, I have yet to experience as much stress as I did while in school. :gulp:

Chem Regents, BLECH. The only Regents I did well on were English and the History ones. The others, I barely passed.

Classes start Wednesday and I just got back up to school today.
