Finals? Isn't that why it's called "finals week"? Or.... I had 4 finals in 2 days. Not that it wasn't manageable, but you should consider yourself lucky.

It isn't called "finals week" here though and the engineering faculty is the only faculty that has all exams crammed into one week. I have another one Monday as well. For everyone else their exams started on the 7th and spread out till the 22nd. So meh... I just probably should have studied during the term. Kinda hard learning the entire course the night before.

Last 2 days, were pretty great.
I missed my exam on wednesday, cause I excessively over slept [woke up at 6 p.m], anyway today our "Editing/Avid" teacher just tells me that I can do the exam while he's giving the course, on a desktop in the corner. It wasn't even my idea. Yesterday, I went to an incredible Experimental/Jazz concert, plus it was free. Then we went to our usual pub (that we haven't visited for more than 2 months), it's like the Friends bunch not going to their usual coffee shop, just weird. Anyway, we got all drunk, and it was all for free also. I just noticed that I only spent 2$ this whole week. Got me a brand new cell phone (my parents' Xmas present ... or just something they gave me). That last one didn't have an Alarm, so I kinda slept through all my classes this last year.

If you work hard during the semester, you won't have to work as hard the night before a final. And it's not just memorization... it's understanding. Learning effectively is gaining knowledge as a whole. Once gained, you don't have to worry about losing it.

I'm studying as a computer networking specialist. My exit from my current college is an AAS, and I intend to get at least 4 or 5 pertinent IT certifications on the side. Career wise, it's a sure shot. I have the experience and I'm getting the needed badges. It's just a matter of time before I arrive where I intend to be. So far, I haven't had to deal with the stupifying indecision many face when choosing a career path because I've dedicated most of my life to this because I know where it leads. I don't want to be a damn struggling artists, nor do I want to be a doctor or a lawyer, or some undefined specialist resulting from some ridiculously obscure general higher education studies. I just want to do what I know, and what I know pays well when you're qualified. So it's just a matter of me getting there. And so far, it's easy enough to conquer, but challenging enough to keep me interested.

I did good this semester. I got 100% on my Networking Technologies final, 97.5% on my Operating Systems final, 100% on my SQL Server final, and 100% on my Visual Basic final.
I've only made one B on a test this semester, and that was in Operating Systems, but because of the curve I set, my score was pushed to 100. It definitely sounds like I'm bragging, and I actually am.. because you guys have absolutely no idea how hard I've worked at this. Not during school, but during the last 8 or 9 years of my life as a whole. I want this so badly I can't even imagine failing any part of this. It doesn't come easy, but I want it. And I think that's what really makes the difference. It's not smarts, and it's not luck. It's will and sacrifice. I'm not the progenitor of it, but fuckin' hell I live by it. I just don't think there's a point to giving any effort to something at all if you're not going to give it all the effort you have. If you really want it, it just comes naturally. And when it doesn't, you work on it until it does.
