shoot me now! lol.. jp... one final down, one more to go tomorrow. but my back is soooooooo not happy with me right now that i'm starting to worry whether I'll be able to get through a 6 hour final. Anyways, I know that whatever happens I will have done my best under the circumstances and will be proud of myself regardless of my grade. Anyways, I need to try and go to sleep so I can wake up in the morning and cram. It's fun trying to memorize a semester's worth of contracts in one day. Hope you guys are doing well.

Default finals

Good luck Blair~ with the sitting I mean since I'm sure you'll do well w/the final!

Long ago when I completed the Comp exams for my MSN, I had to spend something like 6 hours answering 8 questions total on 2 years worth of a master's program. I brought my trusty beanbag chair to the room and ended up lying on floor prone to complete the thing~

Somewhere between anxiety, desperation and exhaustion I made it through w/o feeling too much pain till the end~ then my back was crumbling as I was walking to the parking lot~

Hey I passed big time and that's what counted!! Good luck to you and hope your pain levels will be low!!

Blair,

It's been a long road and you've handled it with strength you probably didn't know you had. I've no doubt you'll come out on top, on two counts. Good luck with your finals and your surgery. I'll be thinking about you today.

Dale
