It's 2 PM and I'm done with one of my finals. I think I did well on it, which is wonderful since I've been floundering through this entire block, specifically with this course. I made good time on this one and I'm confident that I'll do as well on the second. :biggrin I can do it!

Yay for you!!!! Congratulations!!!! :thumbsup

great going, josh!!!

Thanks! :shysmile

I am having quite a bit of trouble with the second final. Some of the material is confusing for me, and some of it is TEDIOUS.

I'm not panicking yet. I have at least two hours before I should start panicking.

I hope you do well!!

Good thoughts beaming to you from me

well done! what are you studying (or since it's nearly over, what WERE you studying and now proving your knowledge of)?

Oish- sorry, guys. I decided I wasn't going to come back to this thread until I got my grades back. I was ruminating on it.

The classes I were taking were financial management and financial accounting. My major is currently accounting, although I very strongly suspect that will be changing when I go for my Bachelors (I'm only in school for an Associates at the moment).

I got an almost perfect score on my financial management final, which is surprising, since I understood approximately NONE of the material. :shysmile

I lost thirty points on my financial accounting final, because I had an error in a specific section of my accounts and I ran out of time to find and correct it. If I didn't turn it in when I did, I would have gotten a zero. I got an A in Financial Management, and a B+ in Financial Accounting.

Which drops my GPA from 4.0 to 3.9. I actually got upset about that. ):) I have the same instructor for my new accounting class, Managerial Accounting, as I did for Financial Accounting. That instructor gave me a talking-to about letting a .1 drop in my GPA get to me. )

accounting? holy shit. ,my mom used to try to teach me that. lol.

wow, i think you did good!

Aww! Don't let the GPA get you down, you are doing awesome!!

As a former boss you to LOVe reminding me. Perfect isn't always possible. B is still good, C is still average. So you see how FAR above average you are?

Heh, thanks for the encouragement.

I'm still pretty far above average. However, I'm slipping; it's not that I can't do the work, it's that I'm just NOT. Trying to be merciful on myself and not label it laziness. It's stress and depression.

Whew. I hope I make it another 9 weeks...

There is nothing wrong with letting your grades slip a little to retain your sanity. Obviously it's a slippery slope and you don't wanna fail out, or be letting the grades slip due to apathy and lack of motivation, BUT sometimes your body and mind say stop a little short of the A. And there is nothing wrong with listening to them.
