i have similar pain. not as painful, but very similar
two exams tomorrow .... accounting at the ungodly hour of 8, then i have to rush to my next exam (some bullshit class. it's really a waste of everyone's time) at about 9. this SATURDAY (yea, you read the caps correctly!), i've got a microeconomics exam (at least i think it's microeconomics. might be macro, hehe) that i am totally unprepared for. i don't even know where the exam room is ^_^; finally, a finite math exam next monday
oh, and no. i am not going to become an accountant or anything that's anything directly linked to business or the economy. i considered it, but after this semester, i've decided i'd rather let hobos drug me and use my body as they see fit than do that shit for a living. no offense to anyone out there who's actually pursuing those careers. if you can tolerate it, go for it! it's just not for me .. god, i should've dropped those two classes

Alright guys.. it's the dreaded exam time. I might as well give a pretty good schedule of mine.. if anyone else wants to share their pain.. or just thoughts.. go on ahead. I know on Thursday I have a Speech exam. Friday I have three exams: Spanish, Art History, English. And on Monday I have Anthropology. (Youchies.. a cumlative exam for Anthro! >_< )
Anyone else have pain like this? Anyone have MORE pain like this that might make me feel better? LOL.. j/k! ^_^;
Sure, I can relate. I've written four 8+ pg. papers in the last 2 weeks, including a 15 pager that was due today (grad. thesis paper... finished it about 2 hours before it was due), exam tomorrow at 7:20 am, and then a two-part (oral/written) exam in 4th semester Japanese Thursday. If you think undergrad work is tough, you've got a whole other thing coming if you go to grad school. But it's all worth it. 
My advice: pray to Athiva, the Goddess of Bullshit. She has helped me write more papers, meet more deadlines, and ace more essay exams than I could possibly count.
I am a reverend in her holy church. Her power flows through my hands and on to the written page.

I've got an Intermediate Macroeconomics final on Thursday (December 12) -- economics minus math equals EVIL. Thankfully, that's the only non-math Econ class I have; afterwards, I've got a big statistics database manipulation/analyzation project due Friday (although, it's one I'm actually glad to do, since I hope to be employed using SAS after I graduate). Then a Senior level Math Econ final monday (which I'm more ready for), a Marketing/Management final right after it (glad to be done with it -- the class was one big PR stint for corporate culture). Then an Economic Statistics test on Tuesday, for which I'll have to study a few more equations and applications.
And, yo JJJ -- my experience is that Economics -- or at least the culture of it -- is much better then the Business culture, especially once you start getting to the higher levels. The first courses I took really seemed to be geared more toward learning economic policies just because they're there -- but after that, once you're done with the brute microeconomics and macroeconomics classes, the classes definitely do get more intellectual -- Economics actually gets more philosophical and psychological too. There isn't much talk of one's connections and stock portfolios here at least, instead talking more about societal effects of certain economic implementations, or the state of inequality between certain demographics (with data from the Census Bureau, etc) and analyzation as to why things might be that way.
I actually recommend trying to read Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. I could only get through a tenth of the book in the free week I had (due to the heavily-convoluted language that I had to spend time deciphering) -- but, what I read was definitely an interesting read, talking more about economics as a psychology. (And, no, it won't turn you into a Republican. This is in intellectual book, not a political one. ^_^)
And, OYashiroForever -- if only I could BS. I'm afraid I don't have the talent, seeing as how, a few hours after I come up with a BS statment and have written about it, I come up with arguments that completely undermine the original BS statement. But, I suppose the undermining helps me to write better papers...
So... IT'S "FLITZ TIME" EVERYBODY! | NEXT STAGE IS 7 |

Well, one more exam to go today and I'm done. Two, I missed - one on purpose and one by mistake. So, I failed a class, but two B's and an A off set it. The A class - class of my final exam.
Missing an exam is one of my chronic nightmares. Ever semester at exam week, I check the exam schedule, like 3 times a day to make sure I haven't accidentally goofed off through a test. Horah for obsesive compulsion!

That's it! I'm going to do what you do now! I'm really peeved off now, but my last exam is really easy. Plus, I'm able to update my page with ease. My rant won't be up until tonight.
