Dosen't come soon enough, yet it seems to come too soon. Anyone else have the joy of sharing this week either this week or soon?

One final later today (Physics), 3 more later on in the week.

And, of course, if you don't have finals (No school, etc), feel free to explain what your plans for this week are.

UP, UP, And a little to the right...

I, too have finals this week. Being an English major, I don't have any actual finals, but hours and hours of writing to get done, and a little Shakespeare to recite.

If you have finals this week, then you are on the quarter system. That puts you somehwere in the Northwest, no?

Ah, Bellingham. I'm down in Seattle, myself.

Finals, as one may guess from the name, are the end of semester tests that US University students, and to a lesser extent high school students, take. The last week of classes usually run on a different schedule, where you go to each of your classes only once for and extended time and take the test.
