As the title says, the semester is ending and I feel a-okay. I am a little bit tired though. This post will be about surviving the end of the semester madness. Yesterday I had my last Biology test, besides the final. It was on 8 chapters and included a lot of taxanomy. My biggest tip for Biology is make a lot of drawings and use flashcards. For this unit I made a Vertebrate table and a Phylum table.
I took my last Childhood Studies test this week too. He let us use a one page study guide, so the tip there would be, fill it out and get good grades on previous assignments so you do not have to stress about tests.
For Psychology of Marketing I still have a term paper due, which I will hopefully write today. Spacing papers out is a big, obvious, tip, but it seems very hard for all of us. As a writer, I find that my ideas evolve over time, so I definitely need to start my paper early so I can end up with the best ideas.
I still have Biology and Intermediate Algebra finals left, but I've attended every class and there's a study period in Algebra on Monday. Plus, I calculated I could an 80 on the Biology final and still get an 'A' in the class. Calculating the average you need to get the grade you want is a great way to take the stress off, provided you received high marks in the class all semester. If not, you can cram really hard for finals and try to boost your grade. In Biology 101, the final is worth two test grades.
Also, try to make time for fun during the end of the semester, too. I dropped by Mr. Towers last night, and I have been eating a lot of Chinese and Japanese food. I love Chinese and Japanese food and New Jersey has great Chinese and Japanese restaurants. 
That up there is some Moo Shu chicken. We have Midnight Waffle Night coming up, which is a great idea. Overall, I'm so glad things are slowing down. I can't wait to clean my room,
and get some sleep.
I hope everyone is doing well! Good luck on wrapping up your fall and winter activities!
