It's getting to be that time of the semester again:
Each semester there are two weeks in which everyone hates each other here on Hanover campus.
Week 1: Midterms, also right before Winter break
Why? Because everyone has too much to do for people who have too much to do as well. Students are overloaded with assignments and professors are overloaded with grading those assignments. Yet, we push forward! If only to make it to the winter break so we can breathe and actually get some sleep.
Week 2: 2 weeks before Finals week, aka Dying week
Why? The oh-so-dreaded Dead week is nothing compared to the stress of Dying week. Professors and students both assume, out of respect for each other, that Dead week will be the more stressful and difficult week. And it is stressful, but it's a relief compared to the prior week: Dying week. Every assignment, presentation, and project is due during Dying week, so it can be done with and out of the way for Dead week.
I love Hanover.
