The Calm Before the Storm

"It's General Conference weekend, everyone relax, take it easy, and be filled by the spirit. Oh yeah, did I mention Satan overcame me and I'm assigning you the most crap you will get next to mid-terms and finals??"

Classes have been chill, getting out early, being canceled, doing nothing but review; it's been rather enjoyable. However, this calm trickery the professors seem to love only masks the hell they have ensued upon us as their students.

• Read and grade 3 of your classmates 3 page papers.
• Complete a massive individual math project
• Study for your math exam
• Prep for wednesdays math class
• study for your science exam
• complete your weekly 'what I learned' entry for science
• read your book of mormon
• enter the inspirations you had while reading into your class journal
• create a portfolio for your Communication major
• Create a "what's news" blog. Make entries over the weekend
• Complete a news article with the facts of a hurricane I gave you
• Visit a Rexburg city meeting before Wednesday and take notes so that you may later write an article
• Practice your violin until you feel accomplished or your fingers fall off. Whichever comes first
• Obtain a letter of recommendation

And of course, they give all this to me the one weekend I decide to visit home. Lovely. Maybe going to Utah wasn't such a good idea in the first place...
