Ladies and Gents, we are T-minus 3 days, I repeat, T-minus 3 days away from The Last Day Of Classes.

What’s the current situation? Let’s see:

Term Paper: Submitted

Group Presentation: Rocked

Third Exam: Bubbled In

Missing Assignments: That would be a negative.

All that’s left are four finals in the span of three days (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have to admit, this weekend is not looking to be one of my favorites). Bright light on the horizon: we’re almost out, guys! We’re almost done with another semester tucked under our belts.

‘Course this week is going to be hellishly crazy. Finals week man…even a procrastinating scholar as myself will be seen walking around with her nose buried in study guide sheets and simultaneously crashing into poles. I can feel myself already getting twitchy and jumpy. And don’t even think about mentioning The Hobbit to me right now. You don’t think I know that it’s coming out smack in the beginning of my finals? You don’t think I know that while all the other Ringers are properly waiting in line to return to Middle Earth, I will be in a crowded lecture room trying to remember the exact etiology of PTSD and its treatment options? GAHHHH. It’s like the whole Big Bang Alive Tour in NJ all over again. So close and yet so far. Sigh. A girl just cannot catch a break.

But remember my “Tip That You Should Remember Even If I Have Made No Other Impression On You: Work Like A Captain, Play Like A Pirate”?

Ok fine, I’ll admit, that pic of Jack Sparrow doesn’t really belong here but it sort of does and technically, it’s Jack Sparrow and Jack Sparrow is always relevant.

Anyway, point is, obviously this is the time for the Captain hat to be put on and get the really important finals out of the way before celebrating. The Hobbit will still be playing in the theaters when my finals are over. But my finals are not going to wait for me to get my act together. So. Here’s tipping my bottle o’ rum at ya, mates. From one Captain to another, I’ll see you at the other side of the ocean.
