Ramblings About Final Exams

Venting some pent-up energy...

So this week began as a week full of stress. Final exams in all four of my classes were this week, with three of them being last night between 4pm and midnight.

As yesterday afternoon wore on, I got more and more anxious about my exams. I don't remember feeling this way at San Jac, but this is a bit more serious at UHCL. So the closer 4pm came, the more nervous and anxious I became.

At just after 3:00pm, I left work and made a much-needed pit stop at the Starbucks across from NASA (my favorite), and headed in for my Managerial Accounting final. Man, I've never had so much test anxiety in my life! When he handed out the exams, I had a huge panic moment. But everything worked out. I feel pretty confident about my grade, although when talking with my study group afterwards I realized I'd made one small error in the production forecasting question/problem and I wasn't too confident about an operating leverage question. After this exam was over, I took my Programming in Pascal final in the Delta building. Then went home and took my Management Theory & Practice final online. Three finals in one night was nuts! Now I have one remaining, Money & Banking, and that will be at the campus on Thursday morning.

It looks like our little study group of 4 girls has made a firm connection. We're taking classes together next semester and are planning on getting together to do something during the holidays. I'm excited! They're awesome to work with and I love how we each help each other.

I think I want to take off on Friday to just de-stress! Perhaps spend the day watching movies, shopping or doing something outdoors? A little personal celebration for closing out this past semester is in order!
