One Final Exam Over! (and 5 more to go) =(

Today I had my final exam for my Applied Molecular Microbiology class. I hadn't actually studied for the exam besides a couple of hours yesterday while I was at the library in the city, so I woke up super early this morning (super early being 7am on a Saturday!).

I studied and studied all morning and early afternoon (minus a short nap somewhere in there when I fell asleep on top of my books) and then went to the exam venue at 1:30pm for a 2pm start. Everyone else was already there, so we discussed our strategies and what we thought was going to be asked, and did some last minute cramming.

It was a 2 hour exam, and I did fine on it. There were 5 parts: one multiple choice part with 10 questions, and then 4 parts with short answer questions. For all of the short answer questions, we always had an option of what we wanted to answer; 2 questions, choose one or something similar. The first 3 sections were pretty easy, and on material that was to be expected - no surprises there. But the last part was on stuff that wasn't expected or wasn't directly covered in the notes, so I am sure I did not get as many points there as elsewhere.

The good thing was that I had studied enough for the exam, and I feel like studying more wouldn't have helped me much because I knew the material. So yay!

Also, the whole class is worth 100 points. In week 7, we had a Power Point project that was worth 30 possible points, so this exam was only 70. I knew I got 27 out of 30 on the project, so technically, I only needed 23 points out of the 70 to pass the class. ^_^ I am sure I did much better than that though!

Afterwards, I went home and went back to sleep!
