If anyone needs an editor or proofreader or something, let me know. I need something to keep me busy when I’m not looking up shit for various exams. ---

Thanks. I finished finals last week, and get my grades today. I’m really nervous, since I know I bombed my finals. :biting nails: ---

…glucose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate using hexokinase and ATP, which is then converted to fructose-6-phosphate by glucose-6-phosphate isomerase … I have my biochemistry exam in just over an hour…it’s the last one of the semester. I can’t wait to get it over with! I like biochemistry (which is why it’s my major) but SO MUCH MEMORIZATION!!! …which is converted to fructose-1-6-phosphate by ATP and phosphofructo kinase… Thanks Rasa! And good luck to everyone else, too! ---

Well I just finished my Chem exam (2 and 1/2 hours of non stop work!) and my teacher graded it when I turned it in. I got a 98! So my final grade is an A! wooo! Last night I went to my English Comp 2 class (the last english class I have to take). I think I did good on the essay for the exam and so-so on the other stuff. Pretty sure I got a B for the semester (at least I’m hoping!!). Well tomorrow morning is Spanish 3, and then tomorrow night is Psychology 2. Can’t wait till it’s all done, then I can relax… ---

It was 21 years ago this month that I took my final final - As I recall, it was Aerodynamics of VSTOL and I needed a “D” to get outta there. I wouldn’t go back to college for anything. Give me the real world any day. When I go home after my 8 hours, my time is mine. My weekends are mine. However, for those still there, good luck to ya! And better thee than me! 😃 ---

I guess **Mnemosyne** is testing as we speak. I have my Pre-Cal and Euro History exams on the same day. That sucks. English and Physics the next, which isn’t that bad. Ceramics and Spanish are the third day. This weekend is going to be nothing by studying. ---

I too know the joys and terrors of procrastinating on papers as shown in this thread. [Avoiding Writing a Paper](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=50244) It’s nothing as difficult as in previous posts but the principle is just the same. I’ll be graduating with a biochem degree in December '01. Currently taking Pchem, if I knew it was going to be this fun I might have takem it as an elective but it’s a requirement so I can’t make that claim. My psych final yesterday got cancelled due to the snow, so I’m making it up tomorrow. Still got Pchem and Quant next week, so I’ll be coming and going. ---

Thanks for the encourgement Rasa. I’m in my second year of college right now, and this is the hardest semester I had so far, mostly because I have lousy professors in most all my classes. ☹ And if you’re curious, I’m taking Calculus 2, Intro to Lingustics, Health Science, General Physics 1, and Intro to Computer Programming. Not an easy set of classes, are they? ---

Ahhhh all my exams have been cake (wait I haven’t had any exams yet… starting to panic… realizing I’m screwed). OH well my exams start today with a Classic Culture final today and Economics and Math tomorrow. It shouldn’t be that bad. It’s not like I am going to study or anything (well I should but that would make things way to simple). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-the-college-dopers/45011.md?page=2)
