Star Wars...just a little, only a lot...and then some. Times 2!

Ah...that wonderful time of the year

Yes...it's finals week. So as I prepare to take my first final today, I sit back and reflect on this past semester. There have been some ups, a lot of downs, and more stress than I care to remember. But that is the life of a college student.

So while I frantically try and finish my note cards for marine chem (aka my hardest final) I try and wake up, which even coffee isn't helping. Last night I had dreams about this class. Residence Time, and the marine nitrogen budget, and lets not forget mercury pollution and elimination rate.

Now if all this sounds Greek to you, don't worry...I don't totally understand it myself.

It really doesn't feel like the semester is ending. Last year at this time, I was packing up to move out for the summer. This summer I'm staying here, so my room doesn't look any different than before. All I have to do is figure out how to pay for school over the summer, which is going to cost me about the same as a 2002 car. So while that frantic rush to get money in time is upon me, I have to try and finish finals, clean everything in the apartment, get rid of stuff I'm never going to use, try and help some friends move out, start a new job, and pray that my car doesn't break down on the way to Florence any time this summer.

Sometimes...being an adult isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I remember being where you are, and it always stressed me out. Just hang in there...everything will work out as it should. Best of luck

I wish you the best, my finals are coming up soon, the first one is on the 27th of May. After that I'm going in to the army. In Norway there's force conscription

If you get a letter from the army and don't show up where they want you to, you'll go to jail. Girls don't have to. The rules concerning force conscription has become more liberal after the fall of sovjet, and since the germans don't pose any threat.

date Posted: Apr 30, 2007 11:21 AM I have exams coming up. And coursework to do. And all the less important school work. And various other things happening in my life. So life is a bit stressful at the moment. But from what I've heard, it gets worse next year.

date Posted: Apr 30, 2007 1:09 PM Eek. Sounds painful. My finals don't start fo another 3 weeks, but I'm not even in High School yet! Although I do have a million projects all due in the next 2 weeks and they might as well be the finals. Hope everything goes smoothly!

date Posted: Apr 30, 2007 2:16 PM Best of wishes in all your tests, be they from school or life. As for the adult thing, you're right. It's never what it's cracked up to be when we all looked at it from the other side. That's why they say leave home in your teenage years while you still know everything

date Posted: Apr 30, 2007 3:39 PM Best of luck with your finals! We're on trimesters/quarters here at Oregon, so I'm in midterm season right now....I should probably start writing this paper that's due in four hours.

Sometimes...being an adult isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Sometimes it's even better!

Basically, a lot of people crack up a lot of things to be a lot, but usually things are some of what they're cracked up to be, but sometimes they're something different than they're cracked up to be, and sometimes you'll just crack up. And then sometimes it turns out that the people doing the cracking up are also cracked out, but that's a different story....

Hey, I know EXACTLY what you're talking about! It's my last week of school before finals week. But this isn't just my last week of the semester...it's my last week of COLLEGE!!! Now there is a weird feeling...

Growing up is NOT fun, I agree. I can only hope that I'll find myself in the process.

Best of luck to you!!!
