Today is the last day of classes for the spring semester of 2008 here at UC Berkeley. But no, there is no joy in Mudville tonight: finals week is upon us.

Finals begin the coming Thursday and end the Thursday after. If you didn't know that you're in big trouble. You might also be saying "hey, thursday to thursday...that's eight days!" and you'd be right, but no finals are held on Sunday. UC Berkeley respects the Sabbath. Which is odd since its going to be hell...

So strap up. Remember, summer comes earlier for us than other UC students.
