I only get two and a half weeks off.
BUT I FINISH TOMORROW MORNING!
WOOOOOOO!
I will be grading final exams and papers all weekend! I will have to keep my strength up! :bonghit:
Just finished my last final... dammit it was traumatic.
Whatever.
Next up: do some boring stuff.
After that: go home and hit the premium vegetation I just bought.
And then: do some more boring stuff.
I had my last test this morning. Medical ethics. That class is now over. The entire first semester is now over. I don't have to do anythng but rest and relax now for three full weeks. I love having nothing to do. I plan to stay up late and sleep late and go see movies (I want to see the new "Charlotte's Web" movie, but my husband and son, who's also out of school now and is home for the holidays, don't want to see that one) and stay away from malls and shopping centers and just hang out and have fun.
Happy end-of-term to all students everywhere!

I took 3 of my tests ripped, 2 not... think I did better on the 3. Well infact I got an A in the energy class I had smoked for... 4.0 baby
Well, I know you'e only Kidding - Of course I have to access their learning, but I do that throughout the semester so the final is only a part of the whole. I have to make sure they learn particular competencies. I give a practice final to some classes; for one, I allow them to use their notes during the final; and for the others, I give them a very clear study sheet the week before- when I was in college, I received none of those aids! :)Quote:

It's like me and math- oh dear!
When I was in college, each semester was an endurance test- I always cried after finals, because I was working on keeping a 4.0 I wasn't smoking then, which really made it harder not to have any pressure release. If I had to go through it again, a smoke at the end of the day would have made it MUCH better. I find it a little harder to learn new material while high, so I save it as a reward. But I like reading papers when I am high- I always picture the student reading it to me, and it's fun.
I'm off to read- grades are due on Monday!!!!
omg im so glad mine are done with. im proud of myself cause i only had to take three of the five cause i earned a 90% plus in two of my classes. anthroplogy and history.
Bizzle.... iloveyou
