Oh finals, what are we gonna do with you?

[Matt]

I just finished taking a final I had to do really well on in order to pass; right now I have that weird feeling where it could go either way. I've got a Folklore final in an hour.

Thank God this is my last semester. I'm ready to test my mettle in the crooked old world.

I'm five pages into twelve page paper that is either half or two-thirds of my grade due on Thursday. It's awesome!

[AaronC]

I just finished a horrible one (4 hour - Environmental Law).  I have an even more horrible one on Friday (4 hour - Tax Law).  My life pretty much sucks right now.

What's your paper about, Dan?

I had a course last semester where my entire grade was dependent on fifteen pages of writing due at the end of the term. It's not a lot, but I still put it off and wrote it the night before. It could be in any configuration we wanted (one 15-page paper, one 6-page and one 9-page paper, etc.); I wrote a 12-page one and a 3-page one. I thought the 12-page one was pretty damn good, but the 3-page one was dreck, and I knew it before I turned it in.

I got a C.

Matt - Don't go to law school.

In just about every class, the entire grade is based on a final exam or paper. It's rough stuff.

Good luck to everyone still workin'. I finished last Friday and it's the sweetest feeling of all.

Congrats Samir!

It's one of those multiple question ones.  It's turning out to be a five-pager, a four, and a three.  It's for Political Science 101.  It's not so bad.

I'm writing a wretched paper for the most picky professor ever on domesticity in post world war two fiction. The first draft isn't due until Wednesday, but I'm practically hurling trying to write my thesis statement. Ugh..

Thesis statement:

Post WWII literary fiction reveals significant continuities and discontinities with the way Americans in previous generations understood domesticity.

I just finished with the Folklore final. If you would have told me a few days ago that the last writing I'd be doing as an undergraduate would be about Garth Brooks, I would've called you a liar. If you would've told me I would be sticking up for Garth Brooks, I would've called you a damn liar.

I thought this was weird: a couple weeks ago, we had a folklore paper due. We could write about anything; I wrote about novelty songs. We got the papers back today. I got an A+ and the professor said mine was the "best paper of the year". He even offered to write me a recommendation for graduate school. Again - novelty songs.

Ah, life, I don't understand you sometimes.

My last exam was today.  Evidence.  It's great to be done, and great to sell $80 books back to the store for $2.

Compared with the CALI exercises I was doing all day yesterday, which were at a Spock level of difficulty, it felt easy.  Which is probably a bad sign.

Post WWII literary fiction posits that the self is at odds with the very modernity that constructs it.

edit:  I didn't see that it was supposed to be about domesticity.  Sorry.  "...at odds with the very domesticity that it strives for."

 Pipe down, egghead. See, who needs FOTchan?




I'm kidding yesno, it's just the way you lobbed that one over the plate. Irresistible.

Why aren't you selling them on Amazon? My wife's law books usually go for 50-60 bucks a pop, some of them sold for 10 dollars less than she bought them for. Once in awhile there is a book that changed editions or something but usually not.
