I hate finals--

They are the most awful thing ever!!! 3-4 hours in a room, several tunes in 1 week, hunger kicking in at hour 1.5, and not to mention the carb cravings during the study-athons.

4 day to go--and I will NOT give up the 1-2 hours I devote to ME. Exercise = endorphins and a sense of release from all the pressure. Besides...even trying to study non-stop is going to do more harm than good so I allow those little breaks :)

    Welcome to my life lady!!! I feel your pain, after I grad with this bachelors (which is my 2nd one), I am going to get my Masters and then PHd, so I will be 40 by the time I finish, but it's ok, it will be worth it and so will yours! You can do it, I have faith in you -- you are going to kick those finals behinds and get your exercise & good nutrition in also, why -- b/c YOU ARE A STAR!!!! :-)

    Thank you!!

    Just 2 more years--4 more sets of finals and then the BAR. That's it--it'll be a breeze ...haha NOT!!

    Law school is the pits! At least I'll have a pretty good summer--I get to spend it with my babe and that will make the work aspect a breeze :)

    I feel you. I am only undergrad right now but am pre-vet. Which means 6 more years of this insanity after my organic chemistry final tomorrow. For me it makes me feel really lazy but yet I get hungrier than ever. I have found taking like 30 minute breaks to walk around helps me not feel like the walls and books are closing in. You can do it :)

    I just finished my last final paper of the year. I have 3 more semesters of coursework and then my comps and then I am free to dissertate. I hope I can finish this PhD within the next 4 years.

    Focus focus focus--4 years is enough time for dissertation writing with sufficient discipline!!

    And 6 years if vet school won't be all studies --lots of practical work too to make it more enjoyable :)

    OMG. You guys this is crazy, I feel all the pain. I graduated with my Bachelor's in Biology two years ago (I'm pre-med). Now I'm studying for the MCAT , medical school entrance test and I'm just dying. So needless to say there goes my summer and the next ten years of my life :-).

    Why do you hate finals? Soon enough you're going to have eight hours straight of projects and deadlines called a real job.

    Celebrate the time while you have it.

    What you are really going to hate is having to get a real job, never having summers off again, and never being able to finally be done with something as work goes on, and on, and on, and on....................

    Here is a bit of advice. When you are done, don't argue with someone when you don't know the pertinent case law. I have been dealing with an attorney today that I have explained the case law to them three times and they still insist they are right and they are bass ackwards on it. I am not an attorney, but I deal with this case law every day, plus I know the attorney who wrote the brief that is cited (I think that is how you say it). I am just laughing at them knowing I am right. I guess they don't teach you in law school how to admit you are wrong.

    Not if you like your job. The key is choosing an employer and career that you don't hate. Exams are impractical and nothing like the real world. I'd rather have a job any day!!

    The part about liking your job is very true. I got stuck in a job that I don't really like, but I am good at it and it pays well with good benefits and is damn near recession proof, so I stick around.
