April 16,1997 Campus Opinion Editorial: End-of-the semester blues hit student Rene Gore StatTRepwter It is the cod of tbe year and I can say (hat I am breathing a sigh of relief. NOT!!! How caD 1 breath at all!? 1 am trapped id a tuonel of infinity, walkiDg up an endless flight of stairs, searching for a piece of cheese in a maze of mir rors with nothing to guide me, nay pull me but the nsion of finished tenn pa pers, a neatly ordered thesis and the all- important final grade. Yes, I refer only to the end of the semester madness where I must finish tbe research papers that have been thrown os my drowning mind. I realize every instructor has the light to assign a pap», but why, oh. why must they all hit me at tbe end of the semester? I look to a time, vaguely, at the beginning of tbe semester whoi my wedcends were full of parties and malls and hanging out with fiiends, laughing silently to myself that school was going so easy,thinlcing I must be brilliant to float through the term like a feather saiUng on the midsummer breeze. Oh, if 1 could only go back to that naive girl and warn her of tbe monstrosities that lay ahead. If only I could tellherto save herself and begin research immediately. But nay tbe time has passed and I cannot go back. I cannot warn the innocent child of tbe conspiracy that awaits her. I have calculated (with my $100 calculator) tbe time my papers re quire, minus the time I am at woit, minus time to dress, shower, and per form other toilette activities, minus a meal a day and if! do not sleep from now until the last day of class, I have exactly negative 28 hours to fmish my p^rs. Can I try, beg, or plead for an exteDsion?No, I have too much pride to let them know they have woo! I must show them that I know of their plan to ke^ in school for the rest of my “good years.” Maybe they want my money, maybe they are fearful of my talent. I don’t know what their precise agenda is, but I tell you, it’s a conspiracy. I will take this wisdom with me to tbe next year. I will never again be tbe naive girl I once was, my innocence gone. Never will 1 stray from my primary agenda, which is to get an education. No. there are no more par ties for me. No more spontaneous trips to tbe beach. I WILL succeed!
