Halftime…

Posted Dec 7 2009 by Erik in Academics with Comments Off

As indicated in my blog last night, I have two finals today. Good news, I have completed one of them already and thought it would be nice to let everyone know (who maybe hasn’t taken their first final) that I feel like I’ll do better after getting the first one out of the way. Similar to a football player who doesn’t perform well until he gets tackled extremely hard, or a boxer who doesn’t relax and fight back until he gets clocked one good time, I think that a majority of test takers would exhibit a similar behavior pattern. I know that with one final down, and one final to go (today) that I am really more relaxed and comfortable, and not NEARLY as stressed…This could just be a personal attribute of min, but I feel like that for anyone who has multiple finals or about to take number one today that this could hold true. Because I believe this would hold true, it SHOULD provide a spot of hope amidst these dreary times (very dramatic, but I need you to get the visual)

Ah yes, I meant to inform ya’ll of the projected Halftime score for me….drum roll please (*insert drum sounds here*)

Erik 1 Finals 0 (In other words, I think I did very well on it for those who care)

Keep on studying and remember again that people get through these finals, they always have and they always will…Just think of them as a stepping stone to the ultimate goal of a job or graduation or graduate school, or wherever you want to go…Finals are just a hurdle to overcome.

Just wanted to mention that the atrium in the science building is filled with more students than I’ve ever seen (a sure sign of finals to come haha)

GOOD LUCK ON THE FINALS! I’ll be blogging again soon
