As many of you know, this week is considered dead week. I really don't understand the point of calling it a dead week, when it isn't really dead. This week is by far the busiest time of the semester for me. This week is also the most assignments that I have had all semester. I have asked many upperclassmen about the term dead week and they all agree that, that it doesn't exist. In my eyes dead week should be a week dedicated to studying and preparing for final exams. Right now that really isn't happening for me. This week I have been doing many assignments that aren't even going to be on my final exams. In my opinion, I think during "dead week", no classes should be held. I believe that students shouldn't have to attend classes if they don't want to, but have the opportunity to attend office hours to ask questions and have one on one time. This is the most stressful that I have been since starting college because I am trying to distinguish what homework needs to be done while studying for my various finals. Also, many of my classes are holding exams this week and then finals next week which does not make any sense to me. Many people have told me that shouldn't happen during a dead week but it still does. I believe that these various actions could possibly lower my exams scores more than I wish.
If you are following the football team and our season, you know that this is the season's last week and last game. I am not going to lie, it has been a very long season for us. We are currently 2-7 which is very unfamiliar territory for many players on our team. In high school, I never had a season with more than 3 losses, so this has been relatively different for me. Even though our record doesn't show it, this has been the closest team that I have been a part of since coming to campus three years ago. In the future, that is what we are all going to remember. We are going to remember the relationships that we formed and that are going to last for the rest of our lives. Some of the seniors that are graduating have been some of my best friends for the last three years. I actually live with two seniors that are graduating now. As this week has gone on and we continue to do events for senior week, it has gotten to be very emotional. I still don't think it has hit me that so
Noah, I was actually just telling some of my friends the same thing. They call it a dead week but I have tons of work due this week. Oh well, keep working hard and finish of these last two weeks strong!
