8 Days

The countdown continues...

It's freezing in the library.  I'm actually wearing a fleece right now because I can't deal with how cold it is in here.  The tips of my fingers are numb from the cold.  It doesn't help that it has been stormy and cold most of the day.  Twice I tried to go back to campus and study, but the rains came.  I was forced to take a nap while I waiting for the weather to pass. 

I took many a study break today, but I managed to get most of it done.  Tomorrow will be different, I promise.  I got my immuno grade back, which was better than expected, so I'm happy.  It's a good feeling knowing that I don't need to pass the final in any of my classes to pass.  Granted, I'll still end up studying for all of them and probably put equal weight, but that's only because I can't go home and I can't think of anything else to do while I'm here.  I should take up a hobby while I'm out here.

I was talking with someone the other day and we both agreed that finals should be optional.  If you have a passing grade and you're happy with it, then you should be able to skip the final.  I mean, if you're proven you can handle the material throughout the semester, how does testing it one more time make a difference?  Hell, it might even give people more incentive to study harder and get through the classes as quickly as possible.

Alright, time to go home because I'm cold and it's getting late.
