Dead Week is upon us!

It's currently the week before finals week, which means it's the last week of normal classes for the semester. It's also rather morbidly referred to as "Dead Week," which means that in the residence halls "quiet time" is all of the time except for two hours a day when people are allowed to be as loud as they want. On the rest of campus, it implies that everybody is studying all of the time, which may or may not be the case.

In my case, I've been really stressed out. I rarely get headaches, and I've had pretty bad ones the last two evenings in a row. One thing that was bothering me was my lack of a plane ticket to Buenos Aires, where I am going to start studying abroad in June. Finally, I figured it out yesterday and now I have my ticket, which I'm really excited about.

Adding to my study abroad planning-induced stress is the fact that finals are right around the corner. The semester has flown by as usual, and now that I think about it, I think I learned a few things. My first final is Friday, and I have a final presentation for my Educational Technology class tomorrow night. Then, I have three finals next week, and the last one is Friday at 8:00 am. I will be so relieved when it is over!

Meanwhile, I'm going to study.
