Good Luck with Finals!
 
Just a good luck wish to all FOFC'ers taking final examinations during the coming weeks.

Work hard, study, and remember that sleep isn't optional. And a celebratory drink is always necessary afterwards, good or bad.

I have my first law exam on Wednesday. Four months of torts class captured by a 3 hour, 2 essay exam. It is therefore and thereby reasonably foreseeable that I will negligently consume large quantities of alcoholic beverages on Wednesday evening, so be advised that you should steer clear from my zone of danger. Although from my casebook, it would appear that I will be safe from any dangerous situations as long as I avoid barges and railroads alltogether. But I digress.

Good luck everyone!

DeToxRox 12-07-2004 10:18 PM

atatange1 12-07-2004 10:18 PM

Well, Butterfield v. Forrester suggests that it may be you who needs to steer your "zone of danger" away from me, bub.

Good luck!

I got three finals on Monday and another on the following Wednesday. In my American Federal Government, I have to write a six page paper on the independence (or lack) of the military, press, and courts inregards to the federal government. Joy!

Also, I have to finish my "volunteer" work (paper due day of finals) for psych class.

samifan24 12-07-2004 10:37 PM

Our finals don't start until next week but I've already completed a final paper for my Poli Sci class and a major presentation for Sports Marketing. Good luck everybody! Next semester will be my last!

duckman 12-07-2004 10:37 PM

oh, where are my manners?

Good luck to everyone working on finals!

Zippo 12-07-2004 11:36 PM

just 2 to go, one on friday and another a week after. Then it will be Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

ISiddiqui 12-08-2004 12:36 AM

Thanks!

I had on Monday (Conflict of Laws), then I have one next Monday (Law & Unconscious), Tuesday (International Human Rights), Thursday (Securities Regulation), Friday (Food and Drug Law), and the Monday after that (Deferred Compensation). AND I just bought KOTOR II. My life is going to suck next week :(.

MrBug708 12-08-2004 12:40 AM

I took my last one this morning.

mgadfly 12-08-2004 02:44 AM

I have my first one Friday afternoon (Community Property) followed by Employment Law (Saturday afternoon) and finishing up with Sales (UCC2) next Monday.

This being my last year, I can not find any motivation to really hit the books hard and am crossing my fingers hoping I don't flunk out with a semester to go.

Good luck to everyone.

Vince 12-08-2004 02:48 AM

For the first holiday season ever, I have no finals to take. Wow is this strange...

Good luck to everyone else -- I know this can be a stressful time.

Honolulu_Blue 12-08-2004 03:27 AM

Man, I miss final exams...

Balldog 12-08-2004 06:48 AM

Two down, one to go :)

So do I, I wish I was still in college. Good luck to those who are taking them, soon you will be joining the darkside.

Zē+ 12-08-2004 12:02 PM

Well, that was a damn time trap. 3 hours my ass. I started writing and poof, 5 minute warning. The dean told us if we think we aced the exam, we probably failed, and if we think we bombed, we likely did well and covered what was supposed to be. If that's the case, my score will allow me to start practicing tomorrow....

It is reasonably forseeable that I will not leave the pub today. And to think, I paid 30 grand to feel like this :confused:

It gets better, doesn't it? I mean, it has to...

Raiders Army 12-08-2004 01:14 PM

Good luck to you guys taking finals. For gottimd and Honolulu Blue, I don't know what crack you're smoking, but I didn't like finals. College was a different story...

RPI-Fan 12-08-2004 01:20 PM

Good luck to those who have finals remaining,

Me, I have a regular test tonight and on Friday, and then a Diff. Eq. final on Wednesday, followed by Comp. Sci. I on the 21st in the morning and then Modeling & Analysis of Uncertainty final in the afternoon. Fortunately, I'm carrying a pretty good A into Comp. Sci. and an extremely strong A into MAU (101.5 test average!!). Diff. Eq., I need A's on each of the last two tests to get an A, and I need an A on my Physics test tonight to get an A in there.

Again, good luck to everyone!

College and Finals go hand in hand is what I believe we were making a reference to. Of course Im sure both of us would rather have just the college life back.

GoldenEagle 12-08-2004 01:22 PM

I am taking my last final at 3 PM. After taking six finals in three days, I am looking forward to a much needed break.

Good luck to everyone taking them.

:eek:

Congrats and good luck!

FrogMan 12-08-2004 01:36 PM

I wouldn't say I miss finals, but I have some fond memories of some of them. It was after the last finals in December 1992 that I went with a group of friends to have a few beers, celebrate the end of another semester. In that group was the future FrogWoman... We've been together since then :)

Yeah, there certainly are good times. But, anyone who really loved college had some pussy major and was either drunk or hanging out with friends a lot more than some of us.

SI

INDalltheway 12-08-2004 06:21 PM

My finals start next Wednesday. I will have 4 finals, with one on Wednesday, 1 Thursday, and 2 on Friday. I wasn't really worried until I read this thread... :(

Zē+ 12-20-2004 03:48 PM

Take that, first semester law school finals! You are no match for the powerful exponent gods. Be gone with you!

Now we'll just see how those grades turn out.... :eek:

Have a great holiday, see everyone after the break!

Ksyrup 12-20-2004 04:01 PM

I had the first "real" exam of my professional career - my first full-blown trial as lead attorney, a two-day job last week representing the plaintiff in a $1.6M lawsuit (nonjury). Not one of those slip-and-falls, either - more like a contract interpretation case with about 10 years of negative history between the parties. That's why I haven't been around much in the past month or so.

I'm not the trial type, but I think it went pretty well.

duckman 12-20-2004 06:39 PM

Well, I got all four of my exams back in the mail today. I got an A- (92) in English Comp I, an A (94) in American Federal Government, a B- (82) in General College Math, and an A+ (97) in Intro to Psychology.

Not shabby for my first semester in college. :)

I am proud of you. Now how much did you make off the case

Coop 12-20-2004 07:29 PM

I got 98 on my Economics final. I'm happy :) got an A in the class

Nicely done! Good job! :thumbsup:

lcjjdnh 12-20-2004 08:17 PM

3 finals down, 1 more to go (just "Great Books", shouldn't be too tough, just don't feel like writing for 2 hours). The only exam I've gotten back is my Econ "3rd Midterm" which I got a 100 on giving me an A+ for the class. It's a shame that the 4.00 total GPA listed on my grade report right now has nowhere to go but down and most likely will by the end of the week.

msf518 04-27-2005 11:29 AM

My college finals don't even end until May 20th, everyone who gets out before that should count their blessings.

lcjjdnh 04-27-2005 11:33 AM

One last Econ final to go and them I'm done for the term. A nice four month break before heading back here the first week of September.

Karim 04-27-2005 11:57 AM

Our grades are posted online. One of my profs posted the marks and everything was fine. Two days later, after everyone thought they knew what they got, we receive a mass email telling us that 'the software' screwed up and the marks were wrong. There wasn't much of a change on my end but some people got royally screwed.

Logan 04-27-2005 12:21 PM

Only taking 4 classes (one of which had a group project for the final, and that's done). That leaves one exam on the 5th, the 6th, and finishing up on the 10th. Then.......

I'm a college graduate.

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

My finals week isn't till the 2nd week of June.

duckman 04-27-2005 01:24 PM

I have an English paper, Humanities paper, US History test, and Biology test for finals. I'm really stressing right now.

sooner333 04-27-2005 02:03 PM

I have finals over the next two weeks starting monday. Luckily for me, because of my transfer I started in late September and end in mid-May.

tucker342 04-27-2005 10:55 PM

I have FIVE finals second week of May... It's going to suck

MrBug708 04-27-2005 11:43 PM

Finals? First mid terms were last week...

mgadfly 04-27-2005 11:50 PM

I had a Remedies Law final Monday, an Employment Discrimination final Tuesday, and a Corporations final today (Wednesday). I now have a week break before my final final: Education Law.

I also have an interview for a good job in the morning.

Good luck with your interview.

Thanks. Just finished it. They said they liked me, discussed a lot of particulars like when I could start IF they hired me, salary etc... but they said it is between me and someone else with lots of litigation experience. The President told me that they like my background but had some concerns, so it sounds like it comes down to picking the more qualified candidate (the other person) or the candidate they like and have more in common with (me).

The problem with being a graduate is that everyone wants you to have experience. They are going to make their decision this afternoon.

mgadfly 04-29-2005 08:22 AM

I sat around all afternoon yesterday waiting to hear from them. By about 5 I figured it was a "no" and that I could expect to find a letter in the mail in the future. By 6, my wife and I were pretty bummed and decided to go for a drive. I got up to grab the keys and the phone rang. It was them (6 people interviewed me) on speaker phone wanting to offer me the job. I accepted (so maybe this school thing does pay off) and begin working June 1.

Congrats on the new job! I hope my future interviews go off as smoothly as yours did.
