I have finals under control, but must confess severe anxiety over the Payroll Accounting final. If I don't pass this, I don't graduate and have to take it over. Gee, wonder why I chose to take this class the last quarter of the whole thing? Now you know why.

I did a research paper for Environmental Science on causation of mass species extinction, literally emptying the city library of every book I could lay hands upon on the subject. No one ever said I wasn't thorough.

For Cultural Diversity, I had to do a Letter to the Editor on a cultural diversity issue. A local state senator had made recent comments concerning making English the official language of the State. Given the current anti-hispanic atmosphere in the state, I foresaw this more as a strike against them than the innocent reasons he was blabbing about... anyway, that's what I wrote my letter concerning.

Did I mention what a complete waste of time this Cultural Diversity class was? I could read the book in the space of a single sitting, its like a brochure filled with definitions and examples, that's it. Not something I would pattern a class after. I always was of the mind that Cultural Diversity was best taught in the context of other subjects as how they relate to them... but what do I know. Anyway, I'm almost done with it.

The Word Processing course I was forced to take, I have been ready to take the final for the last two months. I had completed all of the homework weeks ahead of time (how many ways could I possibly need to learn how to use Word tools... I only use it every day anyway). The instructor was severely lacking in completing grading assignments or preparing tests ahead of time so that we could get them out of the way. So much for accelerated, work-at-your-own pace.

I'm already writing scathing evaluations.
