Errr...I have finals Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of next week. But in my school district, to encourage actually <i>going</i> to school, if you have less than 3 absences over the semester and a 70 average, you are exempt from taking that class's final. If you're exemption-eligible and choose to take the final anyway, it can only help your grade. I'm exempt from all of mine, so I'll only be going to school on Wednesday and Thursday, and only from 7:45-9:50 on those days.
