next week is dead week. if you don’t know what that is, dead week is the week before finals, where your professors are not allowed to teach anymore information. It’s basically a week dedicated to studying.
dead week is a sign of the end of the semester, and although iit can be stressful because of studying, it always bring me impatience. it should be noted, i don’t really have an exams major. journalism has more project/essay based finals, which i like. because i don’t typically have exams, this also means that i don’t have anything in person on finals week. as a result, i can move out right after dead week.
now, you may be thinking “shouldn’t you be happy?” yes, i should, and i am, but i have never been so impatient in my entire life. i am so antsy to leave campus that i have debated selling my bedroom decor five times this week. the only thing that has stopped me is the idea of being in a bare room and making my longing to go home worse.
it’s not because i just can’t wait to be home. no offense to my parents. i’m so excited to see them, but let’s be real, there’s not a lot to do in Gore/Vian, america other than go to the lake. sleeping in, reading all the books i want and muting canvas are just beckoning me.
i have one more class in two of my courses and three in the other, but it still somehow feels overwhelming. i am simultaneously dreading dead week and counting down the days until it’s here.
only 10 more days until move out!
Keep living the dream,
Kayden
