#Finals

Well look at me, forgetting to blog again. This week I ran around in circles screaming and chasing my tail, as it is the second to last week of classes, meaning everything stressful is due in a matter of days. For some reason that also means 2% of students have decided to become social butterflies at the exact inappropriate time. 

"Alright guys finals are coming up, don't talk to me if I even remotely look like I'm studying."

"Yeh totally I respect that, but do you mind if I invite over friends to just hang out at our apt every day this week?" 

"No, I need to study they will be loud."

"Ok great theyre coming over at 5" 

And thus the library extended hours were born. 

The same thing goes with professors too. 

"Oh hi teacher classes are almost over, I just have to study for the final and then I can go home, peace of cake right?" 

"Haha yes yes it's all very easy, listen I know youve worked hard and earned good grades so far this semester so why don't I give you a huge project due the last day of class worth almost half your grade?" 

"No that isn't that cool actually, I thought the bulk of my grade was supposed to come from the bulk of class that I worked so hard on, and you know finals take a long time to study for in order to do well on them." 

"Great great I knew you would agree, all the other professors know this is exactly what you need right now too"

"....." *keils over and dies. 

So, moral of the story end of the semester is unreasonably hard for no logical reason. 

Now, well actually I have no solution to this. Not an effective one technically, I let myself buy snacks at the end of the semester because comfort, I mean brain, food helps right? If you find a solution to end the stressful madness of finals you should let me know. But until then I will get by on the knowledge that somebody, probably you, has it worse than I.
