So as I write this blog I am just recovering from a cold which for the past week has kept me up all night. Last night I managed to get about four hours of sleep before waking up to a coughing fit. It took me about another half hour to get back to sleep.
Anyway, aside from that this week has been rather good. In my Business Ethics class my professor, who is a really cool guy, informed us that he was making the final exam optional. And since I have received an A on all of my papers then I don’t have to do the final exam as it won’t alter my grade. I do still have one paper due in that class but he drops the lowest grade so I basically have to hand something in and then that is me done with that class, two weeks before the end of term.
As for my other classes I only have one take home final and that is in my Classical Political Culture class. However, luckily for me the question that the final will be based on happens to concern the one section of Plato’s Republic that I actually understood. Seriously, these philosophers were great guys and all that but they didn’t half beat about the bush; I mean, just get to the point man!
The only in class final that I have happens to be in my Middle Eastern Politics class which also happens to be my favourite class. Luckily my professor is going to give us all a very comprehensive review sheet that basically covers everything that will be on the final. So essentially all that we have to do is memorise it and we will all be fine.
My final class that I am taking this quarter is American political culture. I found this class difficult at the beginning, probably because I am not actually American. However, I am starting to get into the mix of it all now and it’s not too bad. Also, the way this class works is that we can either complete three papers and then factor in participation or we can complete two papers, participation and take the final in class exam. And so I, like the majority of the class have opted to do the three papers along with participation. That third paper I completed this morning and so once I hand it in that will be me near enough done with that class; all I have to do is turn up to receive participation.
So I shall leave you now to get on with your lives as I shall endeavor to find the strength to complete the final few assignments that I have before I go home for Christmas break.
