‘exams’
Man-I’ve-Been-Bad-at-Pacing-These-This-Semester Monday, Part 2
Dec. 9, 2013—While I’m gearing up for finals this week (wish me luck!), I’ve also been gearing up for the holidays. The result is my newest masterpiece, “Twas the Week of Vandy Exams."
Avoiding Death during Dead Week
Dec. 3, 2013—In just under 5 days, I will begin the grueling week long marathon that is exam week. With a total of 5 exams to take during the 7 day period, it's going to be an unpleasant week.
Finals-Scotland Style.
May. 2, 2013—Hello hello! While my fellow bloggers are all posting about being done with finals and starting their summers, I still have a long way to go! That is because the UK academic system is much different than what we are accustomed to in the states. At Vanderbilt (and like most US colleges), you have 15...
When you have finals on the last day…
May. 1, 2013—you should ideally take a trip to florida and then see the lead singer of Civil Wars on your flight back...I call that a win...
A (Not So) Melo Goodbye
Apr. 27, 2013—For most of us, this is our last weekend at Vanderbilt, decidedly one of stressful cramming, overnighters hauled along successive nights of insurmountable worry and an endless supply of our favorite Bongo Java coffee, and the prospect of imminent leaving. I will be following up later this week with some final thoughts on my freshman...
Pancakes and Pirouettes
Apr. 27, 2013—In the anticipation of fluffiest pancakes you have ever tasted drowning in some magical sauce concoction, its easy to motivate oneself to wake up at six in the morning in order to get in line for Pancake Pantry. I figure that every one deserves a day off! After my Microbiology exam on Thursday, I declared...
The first week of…spring?
Mar. 22, 2013—Nashville has always had weird weather patterns--you wake up at 7 a.m. and it's 30 degrees outside but by the end of the afternoon, you're yanking off layers because it's 65! That being said, the weather right now tops all of that...
Caitlyn’s Catch-Ups: Finals Frenzy
Dec. 19, 2012—Caitlyn's Catch-Ups Part 4: Finals! As Thanksgiving break approached a few weeks ago, I decided it was probably about time to check out my finals schedule and develop a game plan before it was too late. Looking at my finals though, I quickly realized that a hard-core study schedule was not what I needed.
A Stress Free Finals Week
Dec. 8, 2012—In a few days I will be complete with my 5th finals period. Finals are naturally a really stressful time. There are so many projects to finish, papers to write, office hours to go to, homework to finish, and of course final test. It also does not help that it happens to be at a...
The Wonder of Communication
Sep. 12, 2012—Quite simply, your professors will be the way you can connect to the world. They will write your references to jobs, to internships, to anything you want to do. They will be able to recommend you to their colleagues, and they will help you however they can so long as you reach out to them. Professors LOVE students who reach out.
Done with Exams
May. 2, 2012—I just did it. I finished my last exam... Reflections on Exam Week
The Mechatronics Master
Apr. 27, 2012—As I mentioned in a post near the semester’s beginning, my Mechatronics class culminated in a final design project. I celebrated Rites of Spring (click here for Victoria’s article) by staying up very very late night after night in order to design, build, troubleshoot and complete my project, and the fruits of my labor (the system and the 10-page...
