Dead Week?

So the week before finals is officially known as dead week. (That's this week, by the way)

It's basically a week from hell.

I have a poli sci quiz tomorrow, bio lab practical Wednesday, and a 10 page "group paper" due Thursday, and a biology portfolio due sometime soon, probably Friday. Not to mention a 15 page final paper for my honors seminar, poli sci final, and a french final next week which I should probably study for. Ugh.

Thankfully, there are all sorts of movie nights/pancake feeds/cookie decorating/things to keep us all from going crazy.

Oh, and broomball playoffs start tonight!

Also, there are 24-7 quiet hours in the dorms which started last night at 7 and last until the end of finals (next Friday). Ok, NOBODY studies 24 hours a day, not even in the honors dorms. It's a bit ridiculous.

Anyways, so last night at 6, we celebrated "Pre-Dead Week Ruckus." Basically, we ran around yelling and turned up our music really loud before we were forced into two weeks of silence. It was quite enjoyable.

I have a feeling I'm going to want to run around yelling from frustration as finals get closer, but I guess last night was the only chance I'm gonna get for awhile...I guess I could go outside, but it's cold.

Tip of the Day: Get LED Christmas lights. They make your room look awesome and are eco-friendly too!!

Broomball!

This is officially the greatest sport ever.

It's pretty much like hockey. You play on the ice and try to score goals, except you use these sticks with rubber ends (not actual brooms) and use a ball instead of a puck and there's only five on a side.

Oh, and you just wear normal shoes. No skates.

And you play at like midnight, because we have to go after the real hockey team is done with practice. Our game was at 1:20 last night/this morning. Getting up for 8:30 class today was oh so awesome. Totally worth it though, it's super fun.

It's pretty intense too, I have some sweet battle scars and bruises, but I didn't fall this time! I did accidently shove a kid into the wall like three times. And I got to play the whole game since there were only two girls, and for coed you have to have 2 girls and 3 guys playing at a time (or 2 guys and 3 girls). Girls' points are worth 2.

We won 2-0. Heck yes.

Tip of the Day: Hmm...play broomball?
