Finals week: my experience ex post

So finally we are almost done with the Autumn quarter!

The first final was over and there is only two more left and we are ready for Holidays!

Ex post, I can tell you the quarter system is quite intense. There is a lot of materials to cover in only 10 weeks, and that including midterms and finals weeks, so there is actually about 9 effective weeks to cover all.

For those of us who are new to this system, there is inevitable an adjustment period. Try to take it easy and make the necessary adjustment to make the process smooth (always remember that you came here voluntarily, Hahahaha).

The weather conditions also affect your performance. Consider that you might need to make adjustment in this area. In particular, the lack of sun after 4pm is driving me crazy, but I needed to find a way to overcome this situation. A good strategy is to use the university's resources such as libraries and study rooms. Getting out of your house is a good a idea if you like being around people and not falling sleep at 6pm!

I need to keep studying for mi Advanced Microeconomics final tomorrow, but I'll keep you posted!
