A little perspective for ya...
I graduated from a Federal military academy (trivia, can you name all 5 of them??). ~1443 'character building' days, not that I was counting. I graduated high school on June 8th, and July 7th I was 3000 miles from home with head shaved and getting 'motivated' in Indoctrination. After awhile, we got to call home once a week, while standing at attention at the payphone. There was no internet or bladeforums.
A 'good' finals schedule was if, after finish classes on Friday, you got the weekend to study, but sometimes, IIRC, we had a few finals the next day (Saturday). And most of my credit loads w/ 17+ per quarter. That was on top of regimental duties. To ad insult to injury, my birthday always landed on the weekend before our first finals week. I recall spending like 15 hrs. on my 21 birthday studying Statics I think. Good times. And we had to pass our license exams (some portions requiring at least a 90% to pass, with one question building on another, so if you got one wrong, additional later questions based on your previous answer could also be wrong) in third quarter of senior year...no pass, no graduate. No pressure.
And if you failed a class, you got to come back in the summer and redo it. If you failed more than one, you could be 'set back' to redo an entire year.
Alcohol was not allowed in our barracks rooms. We were lucky to have hot water dispenser at the fountain in the hall. General Foods International Coffee French Vanilla/Irish Creme keep me awake for most finals week those days. Don't miss that at all.
Good luck,
BOSS
