Finals: Day 2



It's been a strange week so far. They completely screwed up the day-the bell rings at 8:30 and we get out about noon. We have a thirty-minute break and only two classes otherwise. The classes are extended of course and I usually end up sitting around for nearly an hour after finishing the tests. It's a four day week, and each day covers two periods, except for Thursday which only covers seventh.

So how's finals going?

It's so-so. I was right about the Health final; I did get a C, but that's the only final I've taken so far that I actually think I did badly in. So I knocked off Health and English 1 on Monday, and I just finished Geometry and C. Phys today. I think that I did really well in those two, so I'm not worried.

I was doing some thinking about what scores I needed on the finals when I realized something: you fail your finals and your screwed, but if you do well it don't make much of a difference anyhow. I can hardly raise my grades by two percent this week, even if I get one hundreds. I told my folks this and they laughed. They said that this was a "recurring theme" in life. I hope not, it sucks.

Good luck on the rest of your finals ya'all!
