Another Semester Gone

This summer semester, I took a single class--managerial accounting. It was a good class, and I learned a lot, but it took a lot of time. When I began reviewing everything for the final exam, I was surprised at how much I had _forgotten_ over the course of the semester. The more I studied, the more nervous I became.

Anyway, at some point this morning I decided I was comfortable with my understanding of the course material and decided to stop studying. Not too long after that I found myself in the testing center staring blankly at the exam questions. Most of the questions were relatively familiar, but all of the recent studying just confused me so I wasn't sure if I was doing anything right.

It took me just over an hour to finish less than 50 questions, but by that time I had had enough and just wanted to get out. Usually I will spend a few minutes reviewing my answers to the questions, but not this time. I just stood up, stuffed my pencil into my pocket, cleared my desk, and turned in the exam.

I looked at the monitor just outside the testing center, both excited and dreadful of learning how I had performed. I have to say that I'm quite satisfied with my score--89%. I can't ask for much more than that!!

After I finished that, Mindy and I drove straight over to the "black market" of university bookstores--you know, the little car at the end of the parking lots with big signs that say, "WE BUY TEXTBOOKS" in big print. Yeah, those guys. Anyway, Mindy and I decided that we wouldn't be using any of our textbooks from this semester (and several from previous semesters) ever again, so we decided to get some money back. We brought in $81 off of 9 textbooks! Not too bad considering that we probably wouldn't get that much from the university bookstore if they would accept our books back in the first place.

And now I'm free. Relatively.
