A few words on Finals
Today and tomorrow comprise the last two days of classes before what I am considering as a dreaded week of Finals.
I don't think that I am too worried about taking the finals that I have a head of me, it is just that I don't like the fact that finals are Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Well it really doesn't seem that bad to me. I have taken care of at least two of my classes and wont have to worry about those finals during the next week, later this afternoon I am planning on going into one of my Professors offices and showing him that statistically that I should be getting an A on my final exam and that grade wont effect my final grade in the class which should be an A.
Then there are my two Math classes this semester. I have struggled with whether I worry about taking those finals or not. I need to do much better in both of them. (One of them I stopped attending once I realized there was no chance of passing it after my 2nd midterm.) I have felt that I need to retake both of them, and so how BYU handles such situations I felt that it would be a good thing if I don't worry about them. It would free up some time. After much conversation on the subject, I have decided to take the calculus final which I might be able to pull a C out of the class yet still need to retake.
Then there is my least favorite class of the semester, my Statistical Regression class. I hate that thing with a passion. I hate it, I hate it so much. I have until tomorrow evening at 5pm to turn in a part of the second midterm and then begin to work on the final exam. The teacher was unable to be reasoned with that having a test this close to finals made no sense, just put all this information into the final and have us worry with it then, but no, he had to have a second test. And it didn't matter that it was to be over the last weekend of the semester and that we weren't going to be getting it back ever. Good thing there it is a take-home final and I have until Wednesday of final's week at 5pm to get it turned into the teacher. Hurray, I guess.
The only scheduled final that I know I have to worry with is my religion class this semester, and it is a Friday night final, or maybe it was a Friday late afternoon, I really should check that out, either way that blows my purposeful not wanting to do anything motto for Fridays.
