Lately I’ve taken up the habit of going to the library to study between all of my classes. Although I’ve kind of had a hard time focusing because finals aren’t until next week, I figure the more time I spend trying to study, the better. Plus, it’s so much easier to study here where it’s quiet than in my dorm room where my roommate is always listening to loud music or playing video games.
I’ll be going home much earlier than most other people. The final exam time scheduled for this class (even though we don’t really have a final, we just turn in our essays) would be the last final I would have. Because I can turn in my essay before then, I’ll be free to go after taking a final at 7:30 Wednesday morning. My roommate got a horrible schedule for his final exams: he has to take 3 on Monday, and then sit around for 3 days with nothing to do before taking his last exam on Friday.
At first, I was really nervous about final exams, but that fear has eased up a bit. In one class, we get to write down as many notes as we want on regular piece of blank paper. In another, our teacher gave us a list of the 15 most missed questions from the previous exams, all of which will be on the final exam, in addition to questions that we already answered. My two other finals aren’t even comprehensive; they’re just tests over material we’ve covered since the last exam.
