Finals Week as Told by Buddy the Elf, Day 3

You go to sit for your first final. The instructor says, "Before we begin the exam, please turn in your paper that was assigned at the beginning of the quarter." You suddenly realize that you have no paper, because you immediately forgot about it; because, well, it was the beginning of the quarter and, after all, you had plenty of time.

To make matters worse, once you've taken the exam, and later on as you are going over in your mind your answers, you realized you flubbed a very basic question.

That evening, you reflect on you poor performance during the day's exams. Especially when you realize that you could have gone to the library and gotten help from the friendly and resourceful library staff.

Better luck tomorrow. Though we hope that you didn't have a day like this at all!

7 Aspects of Finals Week Told via Buddy the Elf

1. Finals Week begins and you're in a state of disbelief as you realize how much work you have to get done.

2. You say good-bye to having a good night's sleep during finals.

3. Your instructors say that their final will be easy, but you know better.

4. The computer/network crashes just as you finish that big paper. When it comes back, everything you did is gone.

5. You finish an exam and leave feeling pretty good. Later you realize you made a HUGE mistake.

6. You spend some time being down on yourself.

7. Then finals week is over, and you get your grades. You realize that you passed everything. Oh the joy!
