beau31duke 0 #1 December 14, 2002 One of my cousins sent me this. Hope everyone did better than I did. Merry Christmas. ODE TO FINALS WEEK 'Twas the night before finals, and all through the college, The students were praying for last minute knowledge. Most were quite sleepy, but none touched their beds, While visions of essays danced in their heads. In my own dormroom, I had been pacing, And dreaded exams I soon would be facing. My roommate was speechless, her nose in her books, And my comments to her drew unfriendly looks. I drained all the coffee, and brewed a new pot, No longer caring that my nerves were shot. I stared at my notes, but my thoughts were muddy, My eyes went a blur, I just couldn't study. "Some pizza might help," I said with a shiver, But each place I called refused to deliver. I'd nearly concluded that life was too cruel, With futures depending on grades had in school. When all of a sudden, our door opened wide, And Patron Saint Put-It-Off ambled inside. Her spirit was careless, her manner was mellow, She wore a white toga, she started to bellow: "What kind of student would make such a fuss, To toss back at teachers what they tossed at us?" "On Cliff Notes! On Crib Notes! On last year's exams! On Wingit and Slingit, and last minute crams!" Her message delivered, she vanished from sight, But we heard her laughing outside in the night. "Your teachers have pegged you, so just do your best. Happy finals to all, and to all, a good test!" Beau Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumper03 0 #5 December 3, 2003 I've always heard it this way - Now I lay me down to rest, a pile of books upon my chest. Should I die before I wake, that's one less test I'll have to take. And after friday.....NO MORE TESTS... EVER!!!! PhD defense is scheduled for 9 am and if the committee doesn't rip me a new asshole - it'll be Dr. Jumper JumpScars remind us that the past is real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skysprite 0 #11 December 3, 2003 I have my French oral final tonight, then have three finals next week. For the most part I can read [basic] French, but hearing it and speaking it is a whole different story. Most uttered phrases will probably be repetez s'il vous plait and/or reformulez!!~skysprite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
