The finals week scream
isn't as it seems
it's not very raucous
and all that deafening-
indeed

Because
in place of the cries
echoing off the skyline
strained eyes scrunch in pain
as the time ticks away

Quickly creeping up on
and depleting the brain
of its score of neurons
much needed within
but just out of reach

Sadly killing the chi
of the collegiate psyche
until all that is left
to be heard in the halls
is the mutters and grunts

of the campus cadre

haha I remember well.  I am an inherent procrastinator, so finals were especially hard for me.  I honestly do not know how it is I came to hold my degrees...and now I want to go back and study something completely different.  No matter how much they may hurt, we still want to earn it.

Good luck!

The very word itself "Finals" is enough to frighten the livin' bejeezes out of we mere mortals! It sounds so, well...final!

Good luck! Remember, you've faced them before and lived to see another day! ~ another final! lol

Remember, everything you've ever read or learned is still in that pretty head of yours! The trick is to pulling it out when you need it! lol
