Am I finished?!

I'm tired. I blame it on being outside at the beach having a BBQ for a couple of hours. It got foggy and cold out and then I came into the apartment and now I'm all toasty and still feeling a little salty, but all lethargic now.

Anyway, we had our 207 final today. It was my one-and-only final for the quarter. I'm glad I didn't stress about it. It was good I reviewed my notes a few times, but it really was one of those check your notes and hope you write the correct thing. The unfortunate thing is this final is our entire grade for the class. The short answers weren't bad, but I had issues remembering all the pros/cons to risk-based approaches vs technology based approaches for management. The second part was a fact finding problem. It's this long scenario about a company and we had to find all the environmental laws they violated and any defenses or ways to get out violations. That wasn't too bad, though I didn't write a lot. The last part was weird...I knew it was going to be a memo like our homeworks, but this one was about audit immunities and we never talked about that in class! So I think it was more of a "logic" problem than it was an actual "fact" problem. We were given this background information and were told to write a memo about the pros/cons of audit immunity for companies. I think I did okay on it, but who knows. My hope is at least an A-! We'll see, though.

After our final our my GP group had a BBQ at Goleta Beach and our advisor came. It was a nice bonding time. We talked about everything but school! We talked about summer plans and random other stuff. It was a nice time even if it did start to get cold and foggy at the end.

Now...I just have to work on my 242 final paper (due Wed) and prep for our second committee review meeting on Monday. I have been delegated to do the intro and lead the meeting. I guess that's what I get for speaking so much after our first meeting. :P We also have to redo our approaches before we leave, but that shouldn't be bad since it's informal and really for us for the summer.

With that...I think I'm going to continue to relax tonight so I can hit the paper tomorrow well rested! My first year of grad school is almost complete. :)
