Finals!
The first day of Finals Week is tomorrow! (yuck.)
I'm actually done with my finals on Wednesday, but my mom can't get up to Potsdam to pick me up until Saturday, so I'll be at school doing basically nothing (watching The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, probably...) from Wednesday night until Saturday morning.
But anyway. My finals schedule is actually really not that bad. Tomorrow, I've got Literacy Foundations and Math Methods. Tuesday is just Spanish, and then a review session for Teaching Students with Special Needs. Then, Wednesday, I have Teaching Students with Special Needs and Spanish.
Literacy isn't even really a final. We had final projects to do, and I've already presented mine so I just have to sit through other people's presentations. So that's literally nothing.
Math... Ok, I'm a bit nervous about math. I was REALLY nervous, but the teacher did a review session in class last week and then, today, I went to a study session that one of the girls in my class had organized. So I'm not nearly as nervous as I was before. My main problem is going to be on writing story problems (word problems), but I think I'll be able to handle it pretty well, especially after today's study session. Still though, even if I get a 100 on the final, the best I'd be able to get in the class is a 3.7. So a 4.0 isn't happening for that class...
Spanish will be easy. I love languages. I'm good at languages. They're logic puzzles, really, if you just sit down and think about it. And I already know I got a 100 on the first part of the exam because we did it in class last week and he told everyone right after they went what they got, and I got 10 out of 10 points. So knowing that already has made me completely not worried at all about this final.
Teaching Students with Special Needs is the only final I'm actually really worried about. The only one I'm stressing over. And it's because she puts SO MUCH information on the test that it's kind of... scary. There's a lot of memorization and you either know it or you don't. And I feel like I fit in the "don't" category right now. But there's a study session on Tuesday that I'm going to go to if I can. It's during the same two-hour block that my Spanish final is. I'm thinking that Spanish won't take me longer than an hour; it's 4 pages long, but most of it is "50/50" (like... it's either one word or the other, you have to circle the right one), with some writing at the end. I'm thinking I'll be out of there after maybe an hour, then I'll be able to get an hour of group review for Teaching Students with Special Needs.
Then, finally, Wednesday afternoon is my Social Studies Methods final, which isn't even really a final. We're doing a class collaboration with Crane (the music school). Not a final. No grade for it. Nothing to worry about or stress over.
And then I'm done with my second year here. Wow. Another school year, over.
