    Final exams this week.

    I have my third out of four final exams today in about an hour and 15 minutes. Say a little prayer for me because it's a toughy.

    Fascinating class called The African Storyteller. The professor is this 150 year old guy who spent most of his life just wandering around Africa listening to stories. He returned to the USA and teaches at the UW now. Im going to miss this class, but it is pretty hard. Hes a tough grader on our essay questions. And then on Wednesday I have my Hebrew Studies exam and then I am done....till next semester.

    Say a little prayer for me

    Good luck, Meghan.

    I'll be thinking of you. Hope you do well!

    I always liked learning. If you've worked on this, then you will find your exams easy.

    Good luck, Meghan.

    Sounds like a really neat course. I've got to ask... did he tell any baboon and zebra folk tales?

    Re: Final exams this week.

    well guys, I think I did ok...he grades depending a lot on improvement and I got a BC on the first exam, an AB on the second exam...so I'm pulling to get a better grade on this last one. Idk if I did or not. He is tough on grading essays and if you do too much retelling of the story in your analysis essays, he will mark you down. I know in one section, I did a bit too much retelling. We'll see how it goes.

    Up next...Hebrew studies! Oy vey. (sorry...bad joke)

    Very best wishes Meghan, I always used to think that you knew how you had done as soon as you walked out of the exam room. I am sure you have done yourself proud, good luck in your forthcoming exams too.

    Wishing you all the best, Meghan. I finished up with finals almost 2 weeks ago & was pleasantly surprised by my grade(s). I guess they can teach old dogs like me new tricks after all!

    yaaay! Hope I am in your shoes

    I know I didnt bomb any of them...I just want to make sure that I do GOOD. I want to do more than just pass. I know for a fact that I have an A in my Urdu class, most likely an A in my writing class...now im just keeping my fingers crossed for A's (or B's) in my African Storyteller and my Hebrew Studies.
