finals

It’s finals week. So what does that mean? It means coffee shops have overtaken my bank account and my nutrition. I wake up craving Panera’s blueberry bagel. My first study break is when I am hungry again for the broccoli cheddar soup. At night, I take my chances finding a table at Starbucks and “rewarding” myself on my day of studying by asking the barista to whip up a caramel frapaccino. Let’s be honest, during exam week the most you have to look forward to is your next cup of coffee. 

So what’s the point? Finals have become the Battle of the Cram. I have done my best this semester to not only learn as I go, but study in advance. However, I still question whether or not I will remember Toumlin’s 3 Elements of Messages in a week... or better yet – if I will even care. I believe finals are a way to show your teacher that you care enough about your grade… whatever the cost- weight gain, suppressed socialization, caffeine overdoses, or becoming broke.

Here’s to Spring Finals 2010… bring it.
