I have two exams Tuesday, and I can't focus on anything.

Any other OSU students in the same boat as me?

No, I just put "69" at my ICQ number.

I'm in the same boat. Too crowded in SEL and too many shiny things in Thompson that distract me. Plus I'm spending all my time on Facebook and OhioChatter :)

If you don't know the material and answers by now, I seriously doubt cramming will have much of a difference and possibly be detrimental. Just relax and go in with confidence. Good Luck!

Turn on some rugby here @ 4:00. I guess the Ohio State team is playing in the championship round.

MTV Movie Awards are on tonight too

I didn't even bother trying Thompson or the SEL because I knew it'd be packed. I'm trying to study for my Social Theory class and it's just not sticking. The class is too boring for me to give a shit about. I need a 62% on it to pass the class, so that's what I'm shooting for.

I tried that tactic once already and that's why I got a 66% on the first one.

Sounds like you need to ask around for some "performance enhancers" if you know what I mean...

I can't focus either, and won't even be trying to go to the libraries.

I have a presentation on Weds morning at 730 but other than that I'm done. Summer quarter will be my last at OSU. I have to finish up my foreign language requirement and thats it.......I'm taking Portuguese through the II program. It should be a pretty easy last quarter.

The way mine is shaping up, my last quarter will be in the Spring...and that's only because I've been putting off my foreign language requirement.

paper due tomorrow, 3 easy midterms, and then ME430 Thursday. ME430 is hard as shit, not to mention my professor is some super old asian guy who is possibly the worst professor I have ever had. Im starting to review for that class later tonight after I finish this stupid paper. And I never go to the libraries during finals week. If im not at my apartment studying, the way to go is to find an empty classroom somewhere on campus.

3 finals tomorrow, and a final and 2 essays due Tuesday. Needless to say it's been a fun last couple of days.

I only have two exams, and they're back-to-back on Tuesday.

If you have three finals on one day you can appeal it and get them spread out, I believe.

I highly recommend the individualized instruction if you're looking for a quick way to pound out your language requirement. You work at your own pace, you dont have to go to class, you take the tests when you want. It really is an easy way to go. I'm taking 10 hours this quarter and 10 in the summer to get mine done.

I'm taking Spanish 101 in the summer, and then 102, 103, 104 during the next calendar year.

oh ok........thought you were looking to get rid of it sooner than that. You can take anywhere from 2-20 credit hours of a language per quater. I just didnt like the idea of sitting in a foreign language class 5 days a week
