Crunch time

Well, finals are upon us, and I'm dreading/looking forward to these next two crazy weeks. It's times like these that I feel so overwhelmed with homework I just want to pick up all my books and throw them out the window. I realize that this isn't exactly logical, but sometimes it seems like such a great idea. When finals hit they bring on endless amounts of caffeine, late night papers that end up lasting till 3am, an enormous amount of snacks always close by, and music that inspires me to write algebra equations, ten page papers, and what not. Downing a container of mango ice cream might also be in order. But asides from that, the final result? Blissful freedom of no longer having homework hanging over your head! And sleeping in here and there as opposed to, well, never. Unless you have summer classes, then your freedom has to wait a little longer. Thankfully no summer classes for me this year! Instead my summer will consist of working, working, and the occasional trip here and there (hopefully). It's so close I can almost taste it. One of my favorite things about summer are the evenings. The daylight lasts longer, the fireflies are out and glowing, the stars shine brilliantly, late night swims in the lake, the warm air and the soft breeze, and nighttime car rides. First things first though......just make it through finals!
