i know some of you had the lucky opportunity to take your finals before christmas vacation, but as for me, i have mine this and next week
i am SO happy
can you feel the sarcasm?
you would if you heard my voice
anyways i basically worried about finals the whole winter break
and didn't do anything about it
how productive
tells you something about my procrastination and love for manganime
how are you guys doing? im so tired but a little relief is that school ends earlier for me
and i pray for those who have numerous AP classes
i feel your pain
Edit: Hm,,, i guess i can't really call it a 'final' cuz its a midterm
but who cares

I'm a freshmen so finals weren't that hard. Had them before winter break. I was nervous about biology cause I only knew about half the answers. Luckily the guy next to me knew the other half and we basically gave each other answers throughout the test. My teacher didn't notice because she's always so high on pot that someone could yell out YOU'RE A JIZZ HEAD!!! and she wouldn't notice. I know that because my classmate did it. Anyway, go ahead and scold me for being a cheater.

Hehe, finals.
I'm a senior in solid IB courses, six classes a day. We're studying for major tests in May already and doing all manner of research papers and the like (Extended Essay, TOK Essay, several Internal Assessments, and miscellaneous stuff like World Lit papers). We didn't have time for finals.
So we didn't take any.
Well, technically, we took three of them: My physics teacher had us do a practice IB exam, but we weren't initially going to make that our final; furthermore, we worked on it together and were encouraged to swap answers: everybody got 100%. Furthermore, my Latin teacher had planned on assigning one, but instead decided to make an unrelated test two weeks since taken our final. We watched the Transformers movie on Finals day. And my English teacher had us watch the pilot episode of Freaks and Geeks and turn in a half-sheet paper on conflict. It was worth a lot of points. I spent two minutes on it.
So as you can see, while three of my teachers gave "finals," they weren't really finals, just went in the grade as finals. The other three weren't afraid of the school bitching at them for not having finals in our grades, and didn't assign any to begin with.

Finals next week for me. No biggie. My teachers aren't really preparing us for them, even though I'm in all AP/IB classes. They expect us to do it ourselves. Meanwhile, we're learning new material, same as usual (and of course it'll all be on the final, even though we may learn it the day before)

Yeah, I have finals next week too. We used to have them before winter break, but the school year started later, so the schedule is all messed up. I think it's stupid to have it after the break because I forget everything, very bad memory...e.e

Don't you mean Midterms lamb? you're still in high school. They don't give finals in the middle of the year for most classes....

I always have my finals before a major break (winter and summer breaks to be exact) so I have no classes for like 2 months.

Nah, we call them finals. The teachers call them finals. The school calendar calls them finals. So they're finals!
(I think it's because some classes are only a semester long)

Pretty common around here for HS to be split into semesters, with finals at the end of each - even if the actual class doesn't change.
No finals for me, already done with HS once and college twice~

My classes ended in December, and I'd been avoiding checking my final grades online. But...to my surprise, I got straight A's this semester. Go figure.

I'm actually surprised how many people here are in AP classes. I'm in them myself...bah...I dropped one though, and it was my hardest AP class (American History). Now everything is really easy cause my AP English is SO random and i have a prep period.
My finals were actually pretty good except for my chemistry (basically meaning i didn't have any finals except for math, computer, and chemistry) Math and computer were really easy, but i thought i was gonna die on chemistry. I'm surprised i even got a (low) C. I don't pay attention during that class lol...to busy thinking about reading manga when i get home (chemistry is my last period)

All of my finals were pretty good. (to me, a C- is good.) except for Biology. It was pretty much a joke because of how hard the test was and how retarded our teacher is. When we got the tests back the class was just trying to see who got the highest F. It was me, by the way. It feels good to accomplish things.
