Twas The Night Before Finals
Twas the night before finals,
And all through the college,
The students were praying
For last minute knowledge.
Most were quite sleepy,
But none touched their beds,
While visions of essays
Danced in their heads.
Out in the taverns,
A few were still drinking,
And hoping that liquor
Would loosen up their thinking.
In my own apartment,
I had been pacing,
And dreading exams
I soon would be facing.
My roommate was speechless,
His nose in his books,
And my comments to him
Drew unfriendly looks.
I drained all the coffee,
And brewed a new pot,
No longer caring
That my nerves were shot.
I stared at my notes,
But my thoughts were muddy,
My eyes went ablur,
I just couldn't study.
"Some pizza might help,"
I said with a shiver,
But each place I called
Refused to deliver.
I'd nearly concluded
That life was too cruel,
With futures depending
On grades had in school.
When all of a sudden,
Our door opened wide,
And Patron Saint Put It Off
Ambled inside.
His spirit was careless,
His manner was mellow,
He started to bellow:
"What kind of student
Would make such a fuss,
To toss back at teachers
What they tossed at us?"
"On Cliff Notes! On Crib Notes!
On last year's exams!
On Wingit and Slingit,
And last minute crams!"
His message delivered,
He vanished from sight,
But we heard him laughing
Outside in the night.
"Your teachers have pegged you,
So just do your best.
Happy Finals to All,
And to All, a good test."
I didn't write it but i needed to say it....stupid saturday exams :darnkids:

Me and a few friends did come up with part of another version though.....
'Twas the night before finals,
and all through the frats,
not a creature was stirring,
not even at RATT
Most were quite drunk,
And none touched their books,
While all of the first years,
fretted about looks
While over in SUB,
Many were still deep in study,
And hoping that more craming
Would their brain un-muddy.
Library of Science
open now nights and days,
while having study,
curses all to stay
And in front of the main gym,
all crammed to high heaven.
Stood students all eager for
seats in row "seven".

I'd like to register a complaint about the steady infiltration of religious content that has insidiously been creeping onto this board!!! :angry:

Well at the risk of alienating all fellow students here, I just want to say...I HAD NO FINALS...mwahahahhahaa. Three full year classes + two lazy profs = NO FINALS. I did have a term paper for my entire mark in the one class, however, which I just finished last night. It was long...and boring...and not fun...but that's ok, because I HAD NO FINALS!!!! and now I'm done. I'm sorry...don't hate me.

Took only 4 courses this semester.
2 with the same prof, no final in either.
So I had 2 finals. Monday and Wednesday this week.
So I had it easy. Yet I am only batting .500, I know I did terrible on the second one.
