Finals: a test that is sometimes worth 40% of you grade, often requiring knowledge of stuff you crammed for three months ago.
So yeah, I'm currently in the midsts of my last set of finals of my freshman year in college. They are an extremely important set too. I'm taking the comp sci class they look at for admission. If one gets a 3.8 or higher, its auto admission, while right below that, your chances start to drop off quickly. Especially if you have merely decent grades in your other classes like I do. I've been doing well in the class, but I'd need like a 90% on the final to get a 3.8 as its worth 40% of my grade. However, I have a problem. Instead of responding to stress correctly like most people, I tend to procrastinate even more. Its a terrible trait that I need to eradicate. So, I'll be applying to the computer engineering department at the University of Washington over the summer. Pending my aceing the final, I should get in. Once I'm done here I get to paint houses all summer, but I should make bank, so its cool. Anyone else "studying" for finals??Why is it that my response to stress is to do nothing?? [tyler]

Me, but I really am.
Yeah, I've started being productive finally.
Finals here too, I also have a bad habit of procrastinating at the least appropriate times, but I always manage to get my work done in time at the end :)
Finals? i just started a class =p
@KaBob799: For the summer?? Its a little late to be starting spring quarter.
Yeah =p, my spring classes ended 3 weeks ago.
I'm doing the finals, today was the second of three days of exams. Yes, I've 'studied' (at least I wish I had)
