For you, it is the week where you abuse the thrill of still being underaged and drinking :)

For others it may be a week where exams finally become a reality and they pic up a book for the first time this semester :)
I need another 13 weeks to get prepared for finals.

And yes, I'm getting excited. Slowly...after this stupid arts essay plan... :(

m8, did you not have a better mid sem break though then us.

well maybe you should now start being grateful for the days off with the strike, just sayin' :p
Weren't days off cause I still had 90% of classes on, or had to reschedule pracs in other weeks :(

That is true, but in retrospect a whole week of that mid sem break was technically exam period. Your "mid sem" break was long before the mid sem exams. Actually did you have a formal mid sem exam period?

yeah mid-sems are pretty much up to the individual lecturer. Some faculties may set aside a week for mid-sems, but most don't to my knowledge.

See, losing your way. Are you going to do an exchange for a semester or anything during your degree?
Yup.

Japan is on that list, and so I might keep the arts degree and claim I'm majoring in Japanese to get preference to go. However I am dropping my arts degree after that. Not gonna regret it.

take home due tomorrow. 100%. I remember why I dislike take home exams so much - it's not an exam, and not an assignment - the expectations of the marker are somewhere in the middle...you just don't know where! :(

That ambiguity, definitely one of my favourite parts of the university experience.
