Random Thoughts for the Last Day of Classes
You have got to love first year Latin class when . . . you get bonus marks for memorizing the Salve Regina! :-)
On the downside, for another course I'm in, I completely 'forgot' (. . . it was a very honest 'forgetting'. . .) to read one of the textbooks. Unfortunately the exam is Saturday. I guess I'll be doing some extra reading tonight.
Are take home exams really a blessing? I used to think so. Now that I've been handed a take home exam with seven eight hundred word essay questions (do the math. . . seven times eight hundred. . . well over 5000 words expected of me) I'm re-evaluating my position on the matter.
And finally, one of my theology professors ended my last class of the semester with the following quote from Blessed Mother Theresa of Calcutta:
These are good words to keep in mind as I enter the desperate studying phase. A week and a half from now it'll all be over.
Deo volente.
