Early morning blues

Yes, it is 4:54am here. I have been up all night working on a paper with a few breaks to go outside and enjoy the cold, icy weather. Oklahoma is in the middle of an ice storm right now, which is okay with me because I don't have to go anywhere. Instead, I can tramp around the campus, crushing the frozen grass under my boots like the tyrannosaurus rex crushes the car from Jurassic Park. Only there's less screaming involved.

Ah, finals, the week of deadening tests and projects and papers. At least I know that once this torturous week is over I can catch up on my sleep.

The "Dead Week" Report

I've heard a few people call this week "dead week", otherwise known as the week before finals. Supposedly this "dead week" means that professors don't give a lot of homework so that the students can study for finals.

Heh heh...not really happening. Okay, so I don't have a lot of the smaller homework like reading assignments, but I have/had a presentation, an art final and a paper due this week.

But, on the bright side, there's only one week and one day until I come home for Christmas! I really hope it snows here before I leave though.
