Coffee, Loafing, Studying Popular During Final Week
Page 3
Normal student life at the University will come to a complete standstill Wednesday, as students, faculty members, and miscellaneous other personnel move into the final week grind.
Matching the crowds in the library are similiar gatherings in the Hawks' Nest, as "a coffee break to wake me up" is highly regarded by veterans of many final weeks.

in late, and there's always a test to grade, or another test to make out.
But, nearly everyone usually survives in the end, despite the weeks of apprehension. There's a nice vacation once the whole thing is over with. Then students can begin counting the days until spring vacation.
