I'm currently waiting for a part of my rubber mold to set, so I have about 20 minutes to kill before pouring a plaster mother mold.

I just looked ahead in the year, and I have two finals... and they're on the first two days of finals week. I'm done with school by May 13! Considering the last few semesters have had finals on either the last or the second-to-last day, I'm pretty pleased.
