Yes, I'm talking about finals.
So today (Monday, 12/15) was my first final, Modern American history, after pulling an all-nighter to write a paper that I didn't even know was assigned. So I got the paper done at 3:30a, a full 12 hours before it was due, and ended up getting an 86 on it (out of 100). Then I took the final and ended up getting 70 out of 80. When the dust was settled, I ended up with an 88% in the class, so one C or better down, three more to go.
On Tuesday, I have Public Speaking at 11:30a with a 20 question test preceded by an impropmtu/special event speech. This speech is my favorite of the entire semester simply due to the fact that it is the one that I have had the most practice with over my life. Going into this speech & test I have a grade in the high 80's (just like my favorite type of weather!).
On Wednesday, I will have my toughest final in Intro to US Government & Politics. I will finish the 5-page paper that is due then on Tuesday. As long as I get a C in this class, everything is going to be good to go.
Thursday, I will be doing my online final for Accounting, and I believe that I should do ok on this test. Right now I'm on the low end of the 70's, but I should be ok on this.

Greetings from a very happy house
So, today was the day. I turned in my term paper, and then I had to sit through a wonderful presentation on Marge Pierce. A very feminine activist that has no bearing on my life.
After that, I departed Grossmont College for the season finale for SD Christian College baseball. The Hawks ended up losing 10-8 to finish the season 19-26. A disappointing season, but I look at it as the sophomore slump. Hopefully, in what might (you never can really tell what the future holds) be my next to final season with the Hawks. As by the time the 2010 season comes around, I will be at CSU-Bakersfield and working in that Sports Information office.
After the game, I drove the 1 mile back to the casino. I had withdrawn some money on the way up to the field. I usually play either poker or craps, I chose craps and stood on the opposite end than what I usually do. I lost my first bet on the "Don't Come". As soon as the number was made (the reason why I lost my "Don't Come" bet) I started playing on the "pass line" (that is the line that most people play). I started with $200, an hour and 10 minutes later, I was up over $200 dollars. I took that money, and went to play my favorite slot machine "Texas Tea". On the first spin I hit the bonus for close to 400 credits. I pretty much stayed even, and cashed out with $125. I took the ticket from that machine to another machine of the same type, and fell down to $85, but eventually raised it back up to $135. I got that cashed into bills, and did something that I've never done before I played a $1 Jacks or better vp (video poker for those that didn't know). I ended up actually winning on that machine as well and walked out of the casino up close to $350. So not a bad day overall.
So tomorrow I will be having the extreme pleasure to sit through two different Political economics speeches. And then turn in my outline for my persuasion speech in Public Speaking.
