Finals

Finals are upon us like the plague, like a once hidden enemy making the attack. It is once again the time of the quarter when college students are staying up all night studying, when there is so much to study that it is difficult to concentrate on any thing and students are just waiting for their brain to explode, when by the time students get to class they have forgotten every thing that they crammed into their heads the night before. Oh yes, the joys of finals week. In case you ever wanted to be informed: a combination of peanut butter on graham crackers and an almond latte is the best way to stay awake late and be able to survive getting up early in the morning.

So far this week I have had one quiz and one final. I just have three more finals and two reports to hand in and then I'll be done and enjoying Christmas break. Yea!!! It is just a matter of survival until then. Actually it really isn't that bad. I only have two finals that are comprehensive and one of them is over. The hard part (namely math) will be over tomorrow and then I can concentrate on the very beautiful subject of music from the 20th century in which all you have to do is stamp on the floor and you are said to be making music.(Do you catch my sarcasm?) Also the fascinating subject of physical science Do you know why a pencil looks like it is bent when you put it into water? How do our eyes observe color? Are there some colors that warm up from a bright light more than others? Then there is the hard part: Can you teach all of that?

Good luck to all my fellow students. Get as much sleep as you can....and have a lovely week.
