| As I sit here, ticking down the minutes before I go in and blow my World
Lit. grade to the next kingdom, I find myself wondering what other peoples
worst finals or worst finals experiences were. I just like to know that
others are suffering or have suffered. I hate to wallow around in self
induced dread by myself. ____________________

In my world lit class, we had to read crime and punnishment.
But, the book sucked major chode, so nobody read it. Instead at the time,
several of my friends and I read the Hobbit, since we said that it was a
better peice of literature.
When it came time for the big C & P test, I adapted every answer to have to
do something with the hobbit, or just made it all up as I went along.
Like when the question was, how did Raskilnicov kill Mrs. Ivanovna? I
answered, "He followed her home and fired an arrow into her chest hitting
the one spot that was unprotected by her clothing"
Or when asked who Illyovna (please mind you, I have no clue how to actually
spell these names, I am just guessing) was, I said that she was a three
foot tall circus midget with a third eye which she kept hidden behind a
lock of white hair which she used to peer into the souls of men or to shoot
beams of ice to freeze them in their tracks, she later married Bilbo
Baggins and together they had many grand adventures.
I think I got a D-, and that is only because she gave credit for
creativity... ____________________

That's pretty cool. We have to read Frankenstein right now... Perhaps I
should include some allegories to Young Frankenstein? 
Oh, sorry... -Frahnkensteeen- :p
But I like the book anyway. Don't know why all the other kids hate it...
Maybe its just a general dislike for reading.
But I love tests. They're my strong spot in all my classes, since I don't
do half the homework, more or less, depending on the class.
For Psychology we had to write a two-page essay on why witness testimony
should be allowed or disallowed in court. A sample of my essay follows:
W i t n e s s t e s t i m o
n y s h o u l d b e
a l l o w e d...
I'm not sure if I got a good grade on that or not...  ____________________

Everybody is entitled to their own opinions, but I thought Crime and
Punishment was a DAMNED fine book! I don't know if this is true for anyone
else, but I have found that I will dislike any piece of literature that I
am required to read... but only during the time that I am required to read
it. I read Shakepeare's Julius Caesar when I was a kid and loved it...
then I was required to read it in high school and hated it. I re-read it
after high school and loved it again. That could have a great deal to do
with things.
As for my worst final... that would have to be anatomy 202 in college. I
had walking pneumonia and had overmedicated myself. I got so caught up in
my last minute study cram that I looked at my watch only to discover that
the exam was more than halfway over. I raced to the lab where the exam was
being held and they wouldn't let me in. I had to see the professor during
his office hours and prove to him that I actually did know my ischium from
my olecranon process so that I didn't end up getting an incomplete for the
course. I was still heavily medicated when I spoke with the professor and
have absolutely no memory of what I said to him... although it must have
been good because I ended up getting an inexplicable A in the course.

Junior year of highschool, 1997, end of the year finals.
History
Advanced English (project...BAH! *barf*)
Art
Math
I came down with some sort of mutant fucking EBOLA/Flu virus the WEEK of
these tests and final project presentations. I spent two weeks COOKING at
104 degrees (broil lightly, don't forget to baste!) on the couch,
unconscious, insane when I WASN'T out cold, I couldn't eat, walk, talk, or
move by myself....and my mom went and got my homework from school.
Two weeks later, and 20lbs lighter, I staggered back to school for a half
day to get a little caught up and pick up some stuff, then go back home.
My teachers took one look at me and were like "why the hell are you
HERE?!"
Little did they know I felt a hell of a lot better at a cool 102 and it was
the first time I"d been off the couch in 16 days *lol*
My math teacher gave me an open book take home test (the original final was
not open book muahhahhaha), my history teacher let me take the test
"whenever you're up to it", I didn't have a test in art, and my project was
already in, and my english teacher let me off the hook ENTIRELY and graded
my final project on a curve for how much I'd had done, and for not doing a
presentation (which she didn't deduct for).
Seriously, as nice as it was to get off the hook like that, I would have
taken all those tests TWICE gladly to avoid that widowmaker virus I caught.
I literally looked like I was on death's door, my mom had my cat put to
sleep when I was in my "coma", and my dad wouldn't come near me without
gloves and lysol.
I got even by puking in HIS toilet muahahhahhhahhaha.
That's my finals horror story....everything turned out okay, but damn it
all, it sucked.

I spent a good, fifteen, maybe twenty seconds, trying to remember having a
final experience that was truly awful. I guess that my brain has chosen to
edit all of those experiences as I could not produce a single one worth
relating. I will say this though, writing a final is a huge pain in the
ass, as I recently finished writing four finals for the school I work at
for four different levels of classes, and I just thought it was the biggest
pain in the butt, next to grading them.
Ah well. ____________________
