Wow majan. Those sound like way cooler classes than what I'm taking. So you go to bible school then, I assume. Which one, and what do you think of it so far?

By the way, I survived finals as well, although I can't say I got as good of grades as majan did. I probably got nothing but C's this semester. I wasn't too organized, and wasn't trying my best. I just can't wait for a fresh start next semester, and a new year.

So...what do I win...do I get a "I survived finals" T-shirt or something?Maybe a gold star?

Oh wait I know...I get...more classes. Ugh. Only 3 more semesters to go (I hope I hope)

I'm still alive. I think. If not, I'm at least among the walking dead.

Anyway, I have at least one A, possibly two B's, and a C, in Spanish, Poli Sci, Comp Sci, and Calc 2.

Those are cool.

I want to take Biblical couunselling.

I hope I don't get a C in typing.

I am basically a business and office technology major, so my classes are easier, with the exception of typing.

I pranced outside with giddy elation after my last final.

That was a week ago.

Why not? We're done with finals! That is almost worth using the dreaded dancing banana. Go for it. Besides, I didn't stop being an environmental microbiology and biotechnology major because I couldn't do the work and I can probably ask our resident math major.

Postby **Ingemar** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 12:44 am

Who, me? I'm a Biologist (shakes fist at all the Physicists out there).

Physics is cool. As the wise Dr. Solomon from 3rd Rock from the Sun once said:
"Guns don't kill people. Physics kills people."

That said, I'm a Chemistry major, which means all those Physics majors out there have to take more math than I do. And the bio majors...you have to take what, Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics...

Yeah...I sorta wish I was a bio major...if it wasn't for all that secular humanism and darwinian evolution that I'd have to endure.

Anyway, yeah, finals are done. I'd throw a party...if that were possible.

Postby **Ingemar** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 1:12 am

HEY! I took Calculus for Scientists and Engineers (IOW, the harder math sequence of the two I could have chosen). Actually, considering that I took the harder sequence for (in hindsight) no good reason, that probably proves how stupid I really am.

WHEEE! Now we can all enjoy the vacation

I made it through finals as well...and made the Dean's List for the first time

Woohoo.

Congrats, everyone!

Postby **Mangafanatic** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 6:10 am

I think I did quite well.

Postby **Zarn Ishtare** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 6:37 am

Hmm..I got a 98 in Old Testament History, a 100 in Introduction to ministry, a 95ish in Speech, a passing grade in Pastoral Epistles, and...A N/A For Introduction to Psychology....Teachers and their not taking late exams, I tell ya. Acts Test coming at 9:30 Texan time...*Shudder* Memorizing verses from 18-to 28 in Acts.... AHHH!!!!

Every semester it seems that most people on CAA have their final tests considerably before I do. Due to mismanagement of schedules on the part of administrators and a few pointless rules, all of the finals that I will be taking will take place on Monday and Tuesday (not looking forward to that). The exception is the Calculus course I'm taking, in which the instructor decided it was impossible to take the final in one class, hence I've already taken the first part.

I imagine I'll be alive on Wednesday.

My finals are also unusually late this semester, since the school year started a week later than it normally does. My first two finals are later today. After that I have one each on Monday and Tuesday.

My finals are: Intro to English Major, Spanish 202, Symbolic Logic, and History of the American Economy. My other class (History of Philosophy: Ancient) had a term paper instead of a final.

Thankfully I have the early slot (9:00 AM-12:00 PM) on Tuesday, so I should be on the road by 12:30 Tuesday afternoon

eee.. I have an 8-page english paper due today as well as a Sociology exam this evening, and then an Astronomy exam on Monday (what am I doing on here, then? I need a short diversion, else my head will explode). I had a Spanish exam on Wednesday, but I was heavily preoccupied with other things, so I think I got a C at best. Oh well.

Postby **Rachel** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 10:26 am

I think I may be the only person to post on here who is still in high school...Anyways. Our school district has a policy where if you're a junior or a senior with an 80 or above semester average in a class, and you haven't missed more than two days of that class, then you don't have to take the final. In English I managed to pull my six weeks grade up to an 87 from the 68 it was about two weeks ago. In all my other classes my grades were never in danger of failing, even in my math class which really surprised me, so this semester I wound up not having to take any of my finals.

My very first college finals....
I didn't study. Ok except maybe for algebra.
Studying makes me nervous.
I think I did rather well.

Postby **Technomancer** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 10:32 am

My one exam is next Wendsday, I can't say I'm looking forward to it. As far as survival goes, I expect it'll work out.

I do know that a lot of first year engineers didn't survive their linear algebra exams (I had to mark them). What these kids will do to the laws of mathematics is beyond belief.

Postby **Ingemar** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 10:36 am

w00t! I got A's in all my classes except Physics (that was a B).

Postby **Nightshade X** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 10:38 am

*sigh* I have yet to hear anything from my Poli Sci class, but I made a B in my Conversational Japanese class and a C in Intro to Psychology. That's better than I thought I did, although my mom wanted all A's... she's went back to school recently and she's already gotten a higher GPA than me. tsk... I'll never hear the end of it, now...

Postby **c.t.,girl** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 12:24 pm

i'm so proud of you!! hey at least you did your best right?! it doesn't matter how your mom is doing as long as you are doing well...well, yah, it does matter how your mom is doing but i mean it's not something for you to worry about.

i'm so proud of you! :hug:

Postby **c.t.,girl** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 12:34 pm

i haven't had finals yet. so mine are still to come.

yikes!

Postby **Kesshin** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 12:35 pm

I'm pretty sure I passed everything.... But I might have made C's in History and Computer Applications. *sigh* The other stuff was easy, but I can't remember all of the parts of a dialogue box. The history test was essay format, but after having already taken five tests, I was dead tired.

Congrats to dragonshimmer for making the Dean's list, and to the rest of you for getting better grades than I did. Also, c.t., CB, uc, spork, and technomancer, you will be in my prayers concerning the finals you still need to take. Cheers.

Postby **Kisa** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 1:05 pm

WOOT! Finals are over... as the grades roll in online I am thinking I shall study better next year... actually I have good grades so far ^^''

A bit about me. · Postby **Kokhiri Sojourn** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 1:12 pm

Yeah... surviving is the word for it. I came out with a decent GPA on top of it... definitely not my best, but still good considering.

This semester, my academics covered the following: Intermediate Spanish, History and Grammatical Structures of the English Language, Shakespeare, Music Theory I, Music Theory Lab, Organ, Viola, Concert Choir, Pop Music: A Cultural Mirror, Yearbook, and Newspaper. Too many one hour classes, that's for sure. God is good - only He gets me through semesters and back again with some sanity remaining.

Postby **Jaltus-bot** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 4:38 pm

I have about a 3.5. My classes were Filing and Records Management, MicroSoft Word Core, Beginning Keyboarding, and Life Management.

I was in the physics club at my old college.

Icarus is a math major.

Postby **Kenshin17** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 7:31 pm

Well I'm still alive. Finals went fairly well I think.
I had a final in Art History, Finit math, Intro to computer programing, and intro to lit.

My Lit. teacher made me real mad though. He gave us a list of words to study and naturally I studied them faithfully. Then on test night he gave us a test with all kinds of words he told us we didn't need to study :mutter:

I got a 75% on that part of the final. Thankfully it was only one part, hopefully I did well on the rest.

I got my first B since starting college in finite math. I hope lit. doesn't turn out to be a B because the teacher didn't have time to make a new test :mutter:

I survived it, although the reprucussions of finals and their conundrum problems are still lingering in the recesses of mind. I think I faired out ok.

My final grades are:

Unix I: A+
Programming Languages in Visual Basic.NET: B+
Financial Accounting: A
Internet Development with XML and ASP: A
Class Guitar: A-
Elementary Japanese I: C+
