lol... times like this make me glad I got the hell out of school and stayed that way. Although I do start trucking school soon... I doubt that i'll find it too hard.

*shrugs* Different vocations for different people. I happen to enjoy university, and exams are simply part of that. I'm pretty sure I'd find truck driving mind-numbingly boring.... no offence intended. I'm sure you would find many of my lectures and my research utterly sleep-inducing.

Something I hope does not afflict you while you drive... :wink:

Well it might if I didn't have a kickin Radio. I inherited a big rig from my grandpa. It's pretty new. He always took good care of it.

I also inherited his business. But I can't start driving myself till I ass this course.

It'll happen.

Oh, and as for me thinking lectures and whatnot are boring... have you been following me?

I have a mid term in my history class on monday but it should be easy. I have one more exam before the final in precalc, and my human genetics class is simple, I still don't have the text book and got a perfect on the last quiz.

Ugh . . . exams all next week. :( All my grades in my 3 difficult classes are on the border . . . and finals are hard. :( I don't remember <i>anything</i>, and of course I will not study until the night before (that works out pretty well for me, though).

Well you highschoolers only have final exams at the end of the year and midterms in the middle. I have a midterm or final every six weeks. A midterm and final per quarter and there are 8 quarters before I graduate. Oh and we don't have summer vacation. We just get out a week every 3 months.

That's a bummer... maybe, I'm not sure. :)


We don't really have exams, persay, just big tests every now and then. Although I think we have a big math covering everything soon, so that might be considered an exam.

I'm no highschooler. University student, me. *nods*

Although the point still pretty much stands... just my exams actually matter, whereas GCSEs and A-levels (the staple qualifications of the UK education system) are just a means to get to uni.
