Finals

Finals start on Friday and this is the first time in my life that I have not started studying for them. It amazes me that I am not the only person who is lackadaisical about them. All people care about is the parties before, during and after it but no one seems to care about the actual exams or thats the way they present themselves. 

I think the main reason for me not being completely worked up about them and studying late nights is because I have no time. I do not have a second to think about the exam till the day before it, which in my case is tomorrow. Sometime tomorrow evening I will open up the 30 odd cases I have done for marketing and figure out that I am not really sure what I need to study for this exam. 

The other reason I do not care because the exam is structured in a way that there is not much I can study for it. I have no books or study material, just the cases and my notes on them. My professor might have posted some slides online which could take me a cumulative of an hour to study so I guess there is no point on me spending days and the wee hours of the night trying to figure out what I am going to write in this exam. 

Finally the main reason is that there is no structure to the exam. There are no practice problems you can do. It is a case where you read it, analyze it and then write a 1500 word essay. How can I possibly predict what it could be without looking at it. 

So those are all my reasons to while away my time and do random things instead of studying for my looming finals.
