A Look into Finals Week...

You are probably wondering where I've been. Or maybe not. I'd like to think so at least.

Well, I've been in the Pits of Hell, er, I mean in the midst of Finals Week. And, yes, it deserves capitalization because it has taken over my life.

Seriously.

I've been doing a lot of this:

Reading these:

(ok, technically I've already read them over the semester, but still... and these are only SOME of the books I had to read the past 12 weeks... SOME!)

As you can imagine, I've been TOTALLY missing this:

I've been drinking WAAAAYYYY to much of this:

Mostly because I haven't been sleeping all that much in this:

And I'm almost ready to use the last of these:

FOREVER!

Because on May 2nd I will be wearing this:

(and the matching robe of course)

And it will be AWESOME!

Maybe it will be SO awesome that I will completely forget about all the agony I've been through the past week... you know, kinda like childbirth...
