Coming in to the home stretch


It's been on everyone's lips today: having just returned from Thanksgiving, we have two weeks left till the exam period and just three weeks overall till it's winter vacation. Where did the time go?


But don't panic! Instead, start revieweing your semester notes now, eat a nutritious dinner every night, follow it with a solid eight hours of peaceful slumber, and wash those hands. You don't want to sacrifice 16 weeks of work to a germ or two, and it would be tragic to have studied carefully all term just to go off-course at the last minute. So be sensible this year, although it just wouldn' t be exam time without injecting a little last-minute drama into the proceedings, would it? So say it with me now: "HOLY COW. I AM TOTALLY GONNA FAIL THIS TEST. I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT AND ATE PURE COFFEE GROUNDS RIGHT OUT OF THE JAR AND I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE KNIGHT'S TALE IN CHAUCER MEANS."


There. That's done. Now breathe deeply, return to your textbooks and grab that highlighter. And let me know if I can help with those final essays or paper revisions, OK?
