Welcome to Finals

Today was the last day of classes.

It's slightly depressing, since this means that finals start on Monday. If today were not the last day of classes, I'd have at least one extra day to study.

Here is what my finals schedule looks like:

12/8 5:30PM Physics II
12/9 8:30 AM Econ
12/10 10:00 AM Concepts of Mathematics (moved from Tuesday night since I had 3 exams in a 25-hour period; thank you university final exam policy!)
12/11 5:30 PM 18-240
12/15 5:30 PM Stats

This schedule makes me with CMU had a reading week between classes and finals, like many other universities, instead of a reading day in the middle of finals.

I'm not so worried about Econ or Stats. I have some topics to brush up on in 18-240, but I've already figured out that the best preparation for that class is a good night's sleep the night before and a flexible mind (and remembering to check your work!).

The exams that I am more concerned about are Physics and Concepts. Physics covers a broad range of applications. Concepts covers a broad range of topics. Plus I've been scoring on the borderline in both classes, so there is more pressure going into the exams.

Ah, study break is over! Time to finish up some hot chocolate and study more math!

'Til December 15th!
