Ah, I’ve just handed in my last final. Richard III, hie thee back to the hell from whence thou came, for I am SO SPANKIN’ DONE WITH YOU AND YOUR ILK!
And now it’s a lovely, lovely week and a half of “Oregon sunshine” (read: overcast and drizzling) finally finishing all those half-started books, lazing around and eating leftover pie from Monday, and good regional theater.
Okay, okay, a joke to kick off:
Did Richard III know he was going to be king when he was child?
I wish I were done. I have finals tomorrow and Friday, and a chronic inability to study. Even better than my 8 AM final on Friday (while practically everyone here is done by then) is the nine-hour drive home immediately afterwards with only music is company. But then I’ll be done and life will be good. For a week.
Kythereia – heck yes! You can bring your seashell and we’ll do our best to reenact that old Botticelli thing at the beach.
I’m lucky in that all of my test-finals were done by Tuesday at 9:30. (Of course, this means I had two 7:30 AM finals on Monday and Tuesday…urg.) The paper I handed in today wasn’t due 'til Thursday at 5, but baby, I am OUTTA HERE! (Er, so to speak. Technically I’m hanging around seeing plays until Friday. But still. OUTTA HERE!)
I’m “observing” spring break for the first time in 4 years (i’m a teacher) and it is heaven. no drunken trips to the beach for me, just a lot of sleeping in.
Wait… the OP said a week and a half. I’ll have you know that the only proper time for Spring Break is a week, because that’s all I get. And it is to start at about 9:30 this Friday, or whenever you finish your 3rd test in 2 days (And we don’t even have to take finals/midterms. :mad: )
My spring break starts this coming Friday. The twenty-fifth. Words cannot express my annoyance. I have to work most of the time, but I have the twenty-fifth to the twenty-eighth off. I plan to sleep as much as possible. Precious sleep. There may possibly be a very small amount of drinking.
My second final is tomorrow and my third is on Sat at 4pm. My last final is on Mon at 4pm. Curse you finals!
But I’ll have to hang around since my SO won’t be done with finals until 3:30pm on Wed. Then we’ll have exactly one week for spring break, then we’ll have to haul ass back here for another intensive 10 weeks of class. Boo quarter system.
