Finals Week
This week was finals, it was quite a blur even though I had only one standard final. On Monday I left work early to start studying, and catch up with a friend for dinner. Unfortunately, dinner plans fell through and that left me to study for the night. Both Tuesday and Wednesday were hell. On Tuesday, I took the day off, because my final was Wednesday. A friend and I arranged to study together, originally she wanted to start around 9:30 or 10. So I got up at 9, got ready and waited for her call that said she was nearby campus…She called a bit after 10, and told me she just got up, and to give her about an hour to get there. I figured I would do stuff around here, and buzz to the library in about 45 minutes or so…thinking I’d just get there and just getting settled before starting. I get set up, and figured I would do a bit, and kind of start over whenever she comes. Around 11:15 I get a call she had just woken up again, and is now on her way. She showed up about an hour later, and we got started.
We were there until almost 8:30, and she had to get back home. I was absolutely beat, I studied practically 9 hours straight on almost no food. I had a protein bar when I got up, I took a break around 3 to get a smoothie, and on my trek there, a group was giving away FREE food. I was like sweeeeeeeet, unfortunately it was only half a sandwich and a granola bar, but free. I ate the sandwich on the way into the place to get my smoothie. On my way back, I gave them a ‘can I have another’ look, but they didn’t bite.
I arrive back at my dorm, around 9, and sit down to dinner at 9:30. Absolutely drained, I decided to take a cat nap and then study some more. Well, when I got up, I was like oh crap, I don’t know what to go over, what to memorize, blah, blah, blah. After almost 3 hours of that, I said to heck with it, I am off to bed for good. My exam was at 8:30, I had my mom give me a call around 7-7:30. I managed to get up at 6 to get some last minute studying in, but I didn’t make much progress than I did when I quit 4 hours ago. Yes, I took a final on 4 hours of sleep.
I walk into my final, gave it an once over, and was like I was stressing over this and this, but it’s not on here. I only said damn I should have gave that term more than a quick read while studying two times. Somehow I managed to finish the test with just about a half hour to spare. The person I studied with finished before that even. After a quick bite to eat I manned our booth at the tech fair. I primarily answered questions about accessible technology, and did on-the-fly accessible web design evaluations.
As for the rest of the week, it was pretty mellow.
