After a weekend of studying, studying, playing sudoku, studying, taking a Scrabble break, studying, studying some more, and then cranking out a few more sudokus, it is now 8:38 p.m. and I have completed two out of my four finals for the week.
Spanish went pretty well, and I moved through that one in just over an hour. I was confident on most of the material, although there were several instances where I was neither totally sure I was right, but not convinced I was wrong either. Hopefully that scattering of flux questions will not be too detrimental to the final 70 points of the exam. The last part, an "escritura" (writing assignment) requiring at least 10 sentences, was challenging in a different way, because the two main topics to be written about were shopping and birthdays; neither were covered in class, and they were barely addressed in corresponding "aulas virtuales" (virtual days that are assigned on Tuesdays and Thursdays in place of an actual class meeting). However, considering my minute grasp of the required vocabulary, I squeaked through with other things I knew and the requirements for verb conjugations.
I got back to the dorm around five o'clock, two hours before my Management final. Stevo was in the room, so I borrowed his book and went through one of the chapters, writing down all the points that the instructor had given as notable references in his notes. Stephanie had walked back to my room with me after her French test that corresponded with my Spanish exam, so I walked her back to her room and then strode up to Alston--after a quick stop in Lakeside Dining to scarf a slice of pizza and a brownie (excellent brain food, that!). The first several rows were already full when I arrived at Alston 30, so I maneuvered down the row I was directed into, and spent the last 14 minutes before the tests were handed out reviewing my notes. Once I started, the test only took me about 30 minutes, less the time needed to bubble in my name and CWID. After finishing, I dropped it off at the front and walked out of the room, done with MGT300 forever! I chatted with a few of the guys that I was also in AC371 with, and we compared impressions of the test. In regards to the first three tests I took for the class, I did the best on this one--but then, I was fairly sure I did well on the last one, and I came out with an 82, so it is hard to say one way or the other.
Now to prepare for AC310 and AC289. Fifty multiple choice problems, a statement of cash flows, and 10 adjusting/correcting journal entries for the former is going to be a large handful Thursday morning at eight o'clock, not to mention the mountainous amount of Microsoft Access information that I will need to process at 11 o'clock for the latter... But then, I shall be done with the Fall 2007 semester of my sophomore year. Hooray!
