We've been getting really nice weather all this week: mid to high 70s, sunny, with a slight breeze. Everyone's also done with classes, and most of us know better than to abuse a certain substance we all seem to love so much (though, if you want a party, it still isn't too difficult to find I'm sure). Dead week is over, so we all kinda pretend quiet hours doesn't exist; besides, quiet hours makes it kinda boring. It's winter quarter, we all know the routine by now.
So what really goes on here during finals week? It certainly doesn't look like we study.
Most of us try to convince ourselves into studying by staying around studying material (ie, hide in room/library). But there's such nice weather outside, might as well open the window and door to let the wind flow through the room, everyone else is doing it. So everyone in the hall has their doors and windows open. No one really studies quietly in their room, or even studies in some cases. So, the hall is filled with music, guitar, and videogame sounds, mixed in with the light conversations and occasional outbursts. Outside, people are just lazily sleeping on the lawn trying to tan, throwing footballs around, or playing volleyball/soccer.
No one seems like they're studying. It never seems that way here. We've become so talented at studying in secret and coordinating our breaks that no one suspects a thing. This also happens to be the time when we get lots of visitors on tours walking around. The school just seems like this laid back beach resort.
It kinda is.

Anyone know anyone that got accepted to SB this year?
