It's about that time, isn't it?

I am three days and two final exams away from the winter break - the only real break I get to have since the winter break of last year. I finally feel how the craziness of this entire year is starting to tell on me, so the coming month of no obligations is much anticipated. And yet, I already have my work cut out for me: learn integration and differential equations; read on chaos theory and difference equations; read up on game theory that we didn't finish in class and go through ever single Foreign Policy issue sitting on the library shelf. Frankly, I much rather be doing exactly that than studying for the finals. If there is one thing I dread about school is those last couple of days regardless of how well I think I know the subjects and how well prepared I think I am.
