Well, *that* was different...

I always have the trippiest dreams when I fall asleep in the middle of the day. This time, I had to look up a word when I woke up because I didn't understand something someone had said in my dream.

MY BRAIN IS SMARTER THAN ME, GUYS.

(Seriously though. It was the most meta thing you've ever seen. The dream took a commercial break, then came back

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

When is your last test!? WE HAZ NOT TALKED IN AGES UPON AGES UPON AGES AND I NEED A MEGANWAY FIX.

[strangecreature]

This is your brain... This is your brain on finals! *dun-dun-dun*

Awww! *glomps you and keeps you* I've got exams Monday and Tuesday, then I'm moving Thursday and Friday and hopefully, hopefully, shall be set up in the new place with working Internet by May 3/4th. This month is kicking my sorry ass, dude.

Haha it's cool it's cool, you know you're talking to a fellow grad student right? I GET IT. I REALLY DO.

[strangecreature]

Yeah, and you're not only dealing with your own end-of-term stress, but that of all your undergrads too I imagine! *sends energy*

[stratospherique]

Haha it's not end of term, it's beginning of term! I have 6 more weeks still! But I'm grading again and I fucking HATE them.

[strangecreature]

Wait, what?? Is that considered a spring term, or does the winter term just start later there? I really feel like I ought to know this by now...

[stratospherique]

We have 5 quarters a year.

CLEARLY OUR SYSTEM IS RUN BY MATH GENIUSES.

We are in spring quarter, which started in March, and ends June 10. I hate it, I vastly prefer semesters.

[strangecreature]

Your school gives 125% effort! X-D

Huh, that seems a little evil. I feel like you're kind of getting scammed out of your summer break here, dude.

[stratospherique]

We don't start back up til the end of September at least?

[strangecreature]

Well, that's more like it! I was gonna say... Usually with post-secondary, they're willing to give us these whopping great summer breaks so we can make enough money to pay them again the next year!
