Stress and school! AHHHHHHHH

Yup, like Tobs said...I'm definitely with you. Anyone who is consistently around me (Meaning UP, Tobs, and Rev) know the crap that I have to go through. My biggest problem is with freakin' group projects. I had FOUR this semester. Gee...how convenient when I live 45 minutes away from campus and am only there 2 days a week. On top of that I work, and am pretty much the prez of a club. Group projects piss me off because apparently business students such as myself don't know how to work in groups, so every freakin teacher has to freakin assign them because "in the business world you're going to have to work on teams". Yeah...I'll be at freakin' work...not 45 minutes away from campus, with everyone in the group living in different places. There is nothing that I can learn from doing a project in a group that I couldn't learn by doing it by myself. Actually, I'd probably learn more by myself. I really think that the profs assign group projects so they only have to grade 6 projects instead of 25. It's all laziness because teachers can't teach anymore.

Ok...no more ranting for me. It doesn't make sense anymore...

None of you are allowed to ask me why I'm not in school. Ever. For any reason.

Today is that stupid quiz and paper for that class and the last day of classes!! I don't feel as stressed any more. I'm just relieved that I can hand both in not caring what grade I get.....But I know this weekend and next week i'll be stressing out for my 3 finals! But i'll deal. Glad to know I'm not the only one going through this!!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!

Yeah, work + finals = Bad JuJu.

It's alot of pressure to get through right before the holidays. Plus My tuition is due on the last day of finals for next semester. Which is next week. Thanks for ruining my christmas College. And If that isn't enough, I have to find a new job in January and no body is hiring me anyway. What the heck else do I have to have before I'm an acceptable employee? Bah!!!! Help

At least I get a three day weekend...

Shurikane's to-do list:

DONE
-Algebra final (ON A FUCKING SUNDAY!!!) I did 27% on it, dropping my average from 84 to 50.01... Only 0.01% away from failure. Whew!
-Materials final, which I had barely studied before, and which I studied four days before.
-Computer exam, easy as pie.

TO DO
-Chemistry exam. I must jumpstart out of my 50% average and I only had the equivalent of two days to study! ARGH!
-Calculus final exam. I am currently averaging 44% (above average!!!) in the class and the questions are just downright insane. I have 6 days to study everything back to back, the entire book. Let's just say that Calculus is the worst class ever invented at university level. Several years ago, they had to up the marks because the class average was 12% and everyone had flunked.

Man, school sucks period, am I right? But at least we have the benefit of knowing that someday all of this will be worth it right, right?!?!? Eh, either way, good luck to all of you getting all this stress of you.

I like learning at school, its just the term papers and finals that get me.

I just don't like that fact that teachers are greedy and selfish. To them, your only class is the one that they teach. Reading 50 pages a week is a lot when you have 4 other classes to do work for...especially when the pages are in a textbook. But whatever...no matter how much we all complain, nothing will ever change...unless we do something more drastic than complain.

To quote a bumper sticker I saw today, "Quit bitching and start a revolution."

...damn straight

Well for me it's a little different. I"m going to school for psychology, but when it's all said and done I'm going to be an elementary school teacher. So the part that sucks for me is that the class about the brain and all that shit I'll never need again! LIttle second grade kids aren't going to care where the hypothalamus is and what it does. THey can't even spell that word!!! AHHHH senioritis to inifinity power!!
