Yes, it's that time of year. Kate's already been there, Amanda is plodding through. Finals.
I always know it is finals when my left eye begins to twitch. It's imperceptible to outsiders, but I feel the little muscle spasm at the corner of my left eye. The only thing that helps is for me to pull my eye muscles taut like a bad face-lift.
Which makes my mascara flake a little bit, so that by 9:00 at night it looks like I haven't slept in weeks. Which is entirely possible, I suppose, because it's nearly 1:30 a.m. right now and I'm still doing homework. Fancy that.
This is what I won't miss next year. I won't have work to bring home with me every single night of the week. I think it will be nice. Surely it will. Imagine how much time I'd have to blog then. ;)

Posted by: Donna R. Hibbs at November 20, 2003 10:31 AMFrankly, I am sitting back nice and easy for another week before I have to cram for my final tests. You English buffs have papers which you can spend days on and get a good grade. Me, I have to cram and study and study to take a test which will take me all of about an hour and that will determine my final grade.
I'm not saying one is better than the other, because I am dreading that time of the semester too. Christmas is coming! They are already playing the music in the SHGA (Donna and I pronounce "suga") office.
Oh and Julie, I think that Hot Blog! would be a good name for a blog. You would need to come up with a tagline or description to accompany it though.
Posted by: Brian McCollum at November 20, 2003 11:49 AMI haven't experienced the eye twitching problem yet, but I have in the past. I think balancing work with a reward is essential in this madness.
Like right now, I am blogging as a reward for finishing my Personal Budget Spreadsheet for my computers class. What a strange and wonderful reward.
Keep up the good work and remember--3 or more usability testers. Oh my.

Posted by: dj at February 11, 2005 11:04 AMMy left eyelid has been twitching for over a week now. I haven't slept much in that time either. I'm hoping to catch up on that starting tonight. If it helps, I'll let you know. Happy twitching everyone!

Posted by: yb at April 21, 2005 03:21 PMMy left eye is twitching also. I went to the doctor and they said to reduce stress, eat more greens and fruits, drink plently of fluids, and get more rest.
