In which we have finals
I'm crashed out at Starbucks at the moment, with the wrapper of my now-finished Huevos Rancheros Wrap and an empty container from my Strawberries & Crème Frappuccino.
I want a nap. Oh, do I want a nap. *yawns*
Today was the last day of school -- only finals left for the term. I've finished my French 302 final already, and submitted it earlier today to my prof, so that's one less thing to deal with. Of course, I still have an epic final for my French Lit class, and my French Phonetics class.
Speaking of French Phonetics... We were ninja! final'd in that class. The entire class had thought the oral final was when we each chose a poem to read to him at the mid-term oral, and then at the end the final was a second presentation of it, presumably to show how much our pronunciation had improved.
Or so we thought.
Because in the last 10 minutes of the last class, he told us that he was going to email us the information for our oral final on Monday, to be done by Thursday, the day of the written final. We still had to record and submit an mp3 of our reading (that I had done, and turned in early so I'd have less to worry about finals week), but it wasn't the final.
.....
So I will apparently have an extra final, one that I can't even plan for until finals week. When I have to manage to fit preparing for it (and taking it!) in the middle of my other finals. Which are not going to be easy finals, as the French Lit is comprehensive and therefore covers two centuries of history and authors, and the phonetics written exam is going to be absolutely grueling if it's anything like the mid-term.
Blarg.
