Midterms are done! Whoo hoo!

I'm so glad this week is over! I had two midterms (thankfully, I didn't have one in my 3rd class) - one on Wednesday and one on Thursday in my Estate Planning and my Tax Accounting courses. Both were open book but they were difficult tests. I think I did well on my Estate Planning midterm, but I'm on the fence about the Tax Accounting test. I should find out early next week what my grades are on both exams. The only other grades I have for these courses are from the final exams so I'm hoping I did well on these.
On another note, registration for the winter trimester is coming up in a few weeks so I spoke my with academic advisor about not only the upcoming term, but also about the graduation requirements. I must say, I'm somewhat bummed. I will have completed the degree requirements as of August 2009 but my college only offers one graduation ceremony per academic year, ours being at the end of spring term in May. Generally, if you only have 6 credits left to complete at the end of the spring term, you are allowed to walk in the graduation ceremony. If not, you have to wait until the following spring. As it stands, I'll have 9 credits remaining at that point - only 1 additional class. I'm so torn. After what will be 7 years of school, walking through graduation is very important for me and I certainly feel like I've earned it. On the other hand, I'm not sure that it will be worth the two terms that I'll have to take (winter and spring) with a very heavy credit load in order to actually walk. Taking the extra credits in winter and spring won't help me to graduate any earlier as I'll still have to take a summer course regardless. Why can't this just be easy?
