I don't THINK I have a final right now...

What is wrong with me? I've been missing and forgetting about finals all week! On Monday, I woke up really late - like at noon. But I only did that because I didn't have a final all day. Monday was my day to relax and study and go grocery shopping. So, when I woke up, I was playing on the computer and then decided to grab all my class info and do a schedule of when all my finals were going to be: Anthro - Thursday 8PM, Bio - Thursday 8AM, Chamber Lit. - MONDAY 12:45??? HOLY SHIT! That's in like 15 minutes and I haven't even studied! Chamber Lit. was supposed to be on Wednesday at 12:45! I fucking put on clothes and ran out the door to go take an exam that I thought I had Monday and Tuesday to prepare for. The good news is that the stuff I knew, I totally knew. And the stuff I didn't know? I totally didn't know. Thank God I knew more of the stuff I knew than the stuff I didn't know! So, that was the story of my first final (nice start to the week, eh?) At least I don't have a final on Wednesday anymore :P

On Tuesday nite, I had a final in my Psych 352 class at 8pm. So, I woke up at 1 and just studied and studied. In between cram sessions, I would play with my nunchukas. Dude, those things are so dangerous! I am sore all over! I've hit my hip, my elbows... everything! I'm so surprised I'm not all bruised up! Anyway, around 7:30, I decided to head to class to grab a seat early and get settled before the test began. I thought I was being sneaky because the class enrollment is bigger than the class itself so a lot of people have to steal chairs from other classrooms or sit on the floor. When I got there, I looked through the little window in the door, and everyone was already taking the test! OMG! The final started at 7, not 8! I was almost an hour late! :o So, I had to go steal a desk from another classroom and piss everyone off by pulling it into the room and getting all my shit out... I mean... OMG... Could anything else go wrong this finals week? And, like the title says, I don't THINK I have a final right now... :P

    when i was a freshman, i flunked my french final because i got the room location wrong. i never went to the class so i didn't realize that they were having all the french classes take the final together in a lecture hall. by the time i realized i was screwed, i just decided f*** it, i'm going home.

    I slept through my very first college final. I had 8am class every day of the semester. Then, we had a few days for reading days and I got used to sleeping in. The day of my final, I just didn't wake up. My friends called me after the test and I had to run and take my test in my night clothes. I don't think I did very well because I was all flustered, but can you imagine missing your first final? I'm glad it has happened to others. It's always something with me.

    Tragic college final's stories. eh? It was a Thursday night and I still had twenty pages left to write of a thirty page paper due Friday morning - 8:00 am specifically. The reason I still had so much left to write is because I had just had three consecutive finals in a row that day, which I spent the earlier days of the week studying for.

    So, as if this wasn't all enough - that night, as I was in the midst of typing my short story out, a fire was started by an arsonist. Personally, I think it was the mental chemist who lived on my floor. He'd been trying to get together with a hottie from down the hall, and not only did she reject him, but "chem boy" walked into his room one night, with a full view of his roommate, "Tweak", taking his "love" from behind on all fours. He screamed, and of course, we all ran to his room and saw Tweak behind "lady love's" ass. Big embarassment for Chem Boy.

    Back to the point, the fire was started right below my room - I had a room on the 2nd floor. Fire grows, machines in the laundry room turn black, liquids explode, liquid fire flies through the hall. A few minutes later, the whole of the first floor was in flames. Meanwhile, I still have about 15 pages left to write. Fire alarms ring, firefighters get there, and students are being "rescued" and forced to go outside.

    Crazy end of the story? I sat there until I was forced to leave my room - still typing my paper. Yes, the first floor burned down. Yes, my hallway was black and some peole were suffering from smoke inhalation, but goddammit, I wasn't going to fail a class my senior year. When I finally was forced out, I carried my computer and printer to another dorm hall and crashed their lounge all night, finally finishing the paper up at around 6:30 am.

    Moral of the story: If you stick to your guns, even in the wake of a fire, you'll get an A on your final papers, and your class.

    LOL... that's ridiculous... looks like your paper wasn't so important that you wouldn't get up to watch Tweak's exhibitionist ass, though LOL Burning building or amateur porn... Hmnn... which is more important? :P

    LOL....funny Quyen. What I meant was that because of Tweak's breach of trust and Bridget, Chem Boy went a little nuts, thus trying to burn our building down. Come to think of it, someone tried to burn another dorm down that year, for a similar reason. What's with the fires and cruddy friends here?

    Anyhow, Chem Boy did eventually get back at Tweak - he positioned a web-cam on his desk to deliver a feed of Tweak and his gal-pal doing it. The feed was sent to a computer in the adjacent building, where some guys just happened to bring surround sound speakers.

    That night, every passer by was greeted by a full-screen view of the couple and heard their grunts, moans, and nasty talk over speaakers. There wasn't anyone who didn't stop by and see what was going on, if just to say, "Turn off that porn?! Trying to sleep here."
