    good luck!

    I'm crazy, but I always loved finals, both in college and grad school. not the actual taking of the tests, but the studying, writing papers, etc.

    I have 4 assignments due in the next week and a half, followed by 4 exams, followed by a final project presentation. I hate my life right now :(

    haha I liked studying and frying my brain. sort of. it was like a rush of energy for me. I loved the atmosphere around campus, just everyone in overdrive...but also in a way it was relaxing, I love academic buildings, libraries, etc. I love being in them. when I was in college I loved first semester finals- it was always snowing outside the pretty windows and there were always fires going in the lounges and cookies laid out...

    the way I saw it, you have nothing really else to do besides do this work. it was great. last year around this time I had literally been in the reading room at my school non-stop for like 8 weeks maybe longer between my masters thesis and extra classes. I had like a permanent mark on my butt from the chair. it's like you get momentum. I remember I spent like a week working out 2 assignments for renewable resource econ. one of them was optional to improve your grade. I was kicking myself for doing it because I had so many other assignments to boot. everyone else pretty much gave up on both of them after a few days. I just wouldn't give up on stuff like that- wouldn't go to bed until I got the answer. I ended up getting the highest scores. then I had to write a paper for the same class. when the prof heard how much work I had he actually told me not to worry too much about the paper. that I could not get myself to do- got a great score on that too. and then when you do well, that's the best feeling. you don't get that payoff at work-work. there's no challenge, and no reward. Have fun in school while you can.

    Good luck to all of you who have to take finals soon...

    I loved college, but that's the one week of each semester that I'll never miss...

    oh I definitely love the reward and good feeling of dominating a test or paper. and well, you sort of HAVE to do good, it's your career in a way. there's also a sense of pride that goes into the work, I think you know what I mean. and having a higher GPA in college than in high school feels pretty good too :D

    you'll find no argument from me there. especially in a high school where you take 7 classes a day and only 2 of them are electives.
