Finals week
Finals week. This is one of few times (aside from mid-terms) here students either fulfill their goals by studying hard, or work the midnight oil cramming before the dead hour. Coming to the student computer lab early as possible is like reserving seats at Oktoberfest. The only difference ? No food or drink allowed in this area.
Could I use a beer ? Not in this heat. Actually, a sandwich sounds good about now.
Earlier on, I had the misfortune of hearing a nearby discussion of two girls registering for classes. There was no doubt the "myspace/American Idol/reality tv" influence was there.
"You should register for this teacher's class."
"Is the instructor cute ?"
"Hell yes."
The sheer stupidity managed to cut through my headphones like a hot poker. It was times like this where I wished I had a universal "lever of doom". One flip of the lever and they would disappear from my sight. If such a product existed, I would invest my life savings for a copyright and a patent.
To those going through finals week, I wish you the best of luck. Get some rest and hang in there.
