Dead week?

First of all, happy early Easter everybody!

Second of all, Monday marks the beginning of dead week. Every college kid has to deal with dead week and I'm sure it's great for some people.

I am not one of those people.

I do not understand why it is called dead week. In theory, dead week is supposed to be dead. It's the week before finals week, so there isn't supposed to be any tests, homework, meetings, etc.

Notice I said "in theory." Here is my "dead week" schedule:

Monday: Honors Project, online test, job interview, meeting, another meeting, work on group research project
Tuesday: 20 minutes group research project presentation, work orientation
Wednesday: Another group project presentation, work

Thursday and Friday aren't too bad, but holy crap the beginning of the week. Especially Monday. This means I should really be working on stuff this weekend...buuuut...it's Easter and I'm heading home in about an hour or so, so I'm sure I won't get too much done. Home is kind of a zero-productivity zone for me.

Actually, at this point in the semester, everywhere is a zero-productivity zone for me. I have lost the will to continue...ok that's a little over-dramatic. I'm just ready for summer! Less than 2 weeks left!

Spring.

Today it hit about 90 degrees, and it was absolutely wonderful.

After volunteering at an Easter Egg Hunt this morning and apartment-hunting this afternoon, I went and got frozen yogurt and then laid outside and did nothing/took a nap for about two hours. I brought a book with the intention of being productive, but ehh.

This is the part of the semester when productivity becomes near impossible because all you want to go do is sit outside. Nebraska is kind of known for having crappy weather, but it has its fair share of absolutely gorgeous days. I spose I should also mention that it's incredibly humid and we're in a tornado watch until 1 am, but I'll take what I can get. It's nice and warm outside.

This is also the part of the semester when everybody and their mother are trying to find apartments. It's a bit crazy. My future roomies and I don't have a place picked out yet, but we are on a waiting list and have a few more places to look at. I won't be homeless! (That's always good...)

This is also the part of the semester when everyone starts hating college. Ok I love college, but I am SO ready for summer. 3 weeks left! EEK!
