You just got back from Thanksgiving Break, and finals are coming soon.  People are telling you to start studying.  “Still got a couple weeks,” you say.  “No big deal. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You start reviewing. Nothing you had on the first midterm makes sense anymore.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You go to UGL to use a computer and see someone playing games on one of them.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now you only have a few days left before your first test. You know you should be holed up studying, but you just can’t seem to focus.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
“I forgot to write my independent study paper!” you exclaim.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You’re seriously cramming now. You haven’t slept for more than a few hours at a time and you’re exhausted.

Finals start. “That wasn’t so bad,” you say when you’re done. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A few hours later, you second-guess yourself. “I totally failed my finals!” you cry. When you check your grades and see that they’ve been posted, you freak out.

But then you actually look at the grades. “I passed all my classes!” you shout. Let the celebrations begin!
