Finals (Dun-Dun-Dunn)
One thing I will be happy about when I finish school is not having to take final exams anymore! For the next two days (Friday and Saturday), all classes have been canceled (Really, who has classes on a Saturday!?) and they become "Reading Days," aka prep days before finals week starts on Monday. I don't know anyone at BYU who actually uses there Saturday reading day, ALL DAY, to prepare for finals (There are probably those out there that do, but most likely not friends of mine.).
I really think this policy should change to Thursday and Friday reading days. (I'm sure BYU will probably track me down and say I have to remove my comments, but I do love this school in SO many ways, but I have to admit that their reading days are rather ridiculous.) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard Harvard gets a week to 2 weeks off to study before Finals? And BYU-Idaho doesn't even have a finals week. My sister-in-law Ashley is done today, last day of classes is the last day of school. As how it should be! Thanks for letting me get on my soap box, and now I'm going to jump down and start studying. Have a great weekend everyone.
Good luck with the studying. The nice thing about finals is when they're done, you get a true break with nothing to do but enjoy Christmas. This year our lives just go on as usual, except that Matt doesn't have to work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I'm really wishing for that 2 week Christmas break about now.
