Final Exams

Recently I have been very busy due to final exams. It's bittersweet because while I was struggling in the moment, I know that as finals came around my time in Japan would be over. While in Japan I took four business classes: Money and Banking, International Business, Operations Management, and NGO Management. The first three classes gave finals on July 23, and NGO Management gave a final essay.

Two days before finals I had gotten really sick. Studying for finals while sick was very hard, but I knew that if I wanted to do good then I would have to keep going. Additionally, my final for NGO Management was 2,500-3,000 words so I made an outline was then completed 300 words per day to make it easier on myself.

The schedules for exams is the same as regular class periods, so I had one hour and forty minutes to complete each exam. I was so relived after my last exam!

That day there was also the Katsushika Noryo fireworks festival, so as soon as I came home I went with friends to go watch it. It was so crowded that it took us over an hour to get there (even though it was only one station away) and took us 2+ hours to get home after it was completed. There was about 800,000 people that went to watch the fireworks, but though there were large crowds the fireworks display was worth it!
