Wahoo! Two finals over with, one more to go. And this one, no matter how poorly or well I do on the final (ie: 50% or 100%) I'll still have a solid B. So that is VERY comforting. Plus I know I'll do decently at least.
This finals week has been a nice change from those in the recent past for one reason alone - less stress.
Back when I was first in college, all my classes had exams every two weeks (mostly math and physics classes) so by the time you got to the final, you really either knew the material or not. And you knew that you knew this way ahead of time. So it wasn't really stressful.
When I changed majors, the material got a bit less sequential, so it wasn't necessarily black or white in the understanding department. Plus we usually only had one or two tests throughout the quarter that were really tough and random, and that's all your grade was based on.
This quarter I finally feel like I'm back on my game regarding tests. All quarter I have stressed over them, but now I finally realize - hey! I know the material. It will be ok.
And that, my friends, is joy!

Good for you! I don't think I ever took a test I didn't stress over, even an open book one. I think it has to do with confidence. That's why I haven't gone to get my Certified Genealogist Credential yet. I'm just plain scared.
One of my favorite parts about finals is the simple fact that they are OVER. The stress from that class is done. How I did on the class may or may not matter, but the stress is done cuz hey, it's over, so YAY!
Get yourself some ice cream or something. Finishing finals is worth celebrating!!!
