Final Woes

Not in the sense of death, but what we call "Dead Week" at my university. Dead week is the week before finals. The rule of the university (which some professors have blatantly ignored before) is that the professors must not give tests. This is probably (in theory) to lighten the load of us students the week before finals. I'm not sure why it is given that name, but I, personally, call it "Drop Dead Week", because it is the week I feel immense stress and fatigue. This year, however, my set of professors seem to have the same thought: "We'll have everything due during Dead week and finals week will be less stressful." Yeah...but that just means that this week (the week before Drop Dead Week) is even harder. I'm not sure your logic is helpful. At all.

One of the ways I'm half-way surviving is that I'm letting myself take breaks (usually 10-30 minutes). And what do I do during these breaks? Well, lately I've been writing! Yes, this is an update! Chapter 23 is done!

That's all for now. Wish us all luck this week, Drop Dead Week, and Finals week.
