Definitely not Dead Week

At my school we have what is called "Dead Week" which is the week before final exams.  This means that teachers cannot assign any more graded projects or tests or homework because you are supposed to use the time to prepare for exams.  I have been in college for two semesters now, and I have discovered that Dead Week is anything but dead!  Since there are no tests or papers, this is the time that people decide to have final meetings and many officer elections take place.  And on top of all of the academic stress, this week is when all of the end of the year get-togethers happen!  I"ve had dinners with different groups of friends for the last time until we come back next year and many people have end of the year parties.  It's a lot to fit on one's calendar!  Somehow I'll manage though...
