It's that time of year!

It only happens twice a year, but it's that time! Hundreds of SMU students who may have not been to the library all semester fill every open table and computer. The regulars are a bit frazzled at the fact that their usual spot is taken (...and by one of them).

Every December and every April SMU students crawl out of the woodwork (that they've been hiding in for some time) and into the Fondren Library. Yesterday I saw a girl that lived in my freshman dorm.... I don't think I'd seen her since move out day freshman year. Not to make myself sound like a study-aholic, believe me, I have never spent the night in one of those old leather chairs in Fondren. It is not my home, like it is to some SMU students. However, I still find it fascinating. After all, it would seem to me that the average college student would be a bit more seasoned to knowing there is no way one can cram a whole semester into one night of studying, at least not very successfully.

With this in mind, I try to prepare myself a bit everyday so I do not turn into one of them. After all, one's debut from the woodwork is not very glamorous.
