Finals week. It's down to crunch time. Right now, it's 3:08 am, and I have been studying for hours. Writing this post is my so-called "break." Truthfully, I want to be sleeping, right now, but I just don't have the time. I have a psychology exam at 1:00 pm and an Italian exam at 6:00 pm. I don't feel ready for either of them, not in the slightest, but I'm trying to remain calm. Everyone is. Finals week is the most hectic week of the semester. Exams and final projects fill every hour of free time. People are moving out of dorms; people are moving into dorms. I imagine the energy drink sales at the university market place are at their height for the semester. Everyone just wants to take a week long nap, but instead, we're all ditching sleep entirely.

I'm actually kind of lucky. I only have two exams, and they're both on the first day of the week, which means I get to go home Tuesday morning. (My sister will still be at school until Friday - Ha!) My mom is going to pick me, because she's the best, and then we'll drive the hour and thirty minutes to my house. Oh, how I long for winter break. Three weeks, study free. No projects or papers. I'll get to read whatever I want, finally! (I haven't read a book for pleasure in over four months.)

But until then, I should probably get back to studying. The semester isn't over yet! Good luck to anyone else out there making their way through finals week. I believe in you!
