I know. My last day of class is next week on the 11th. and then somewhere between then and the 19th I have my animation review.
I only have 3 out of 5 classes I'm focused on with work, but when you're an animator the animation process to make the animation takes a lot of time. So I've been stressing with my finals. I have one due this Wednesday and another on Friday. >.<

Eeek! That sounds incredibly stressful! >n< I got off kind easy this semester; two online classes and in one of my classes, I likely won't have to take the final. My last day is on the 11th too! surprised

I can't imaging doing something as time-consuming as animation in such a short amount of time. But I'm sure you'll do great. Just don't procrastinate like I do. sweatdrop

ninja I'm actually guilty at procrastinating.
It's not a good think to do when you're in my major, I've gotten less procrastinatety though... sorta, kinda. ..at least I manage to get things done on time and they still look good.
