			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I&#8217;ve almost finished my first year at Smith (second at college), and I have a couple of observations about my peers:</p>
<p>1. They are ridiculous!  They are freaking out about final exams to the point that they&#8217;re only making it harder on themselves<br />
2. They are surprisingly into tanning&#8230;  Really, they&#8217;re everywhere in their bikinis&#8230; with their books and notes of course.<br />
3. The people that have been on top of their schoolwork all year and have the least to stress out about right now seem to be the most stressed out.<br />
4. I still love them!</p>
<p>Anyway, the library is full and that&#8217;s where I&#8217;ve been spending most of my time.  Right now I&#8217;m in the study of my house because the library is uncomfortable warm.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s gorgeous out.  High 60s = perfect!  Blue skies and everything is finally green.  And it smells nice everywhere!  Meanwhile people are fucking cranky just because they&#8217;re studying.  We&#8217;re at college &#8211; of course we&#8217;re studying!  I just don&#8217;t think exams should really give anyone the right to be in such a sour mood when it is so nice out..  especially because they&#8217;re all going to get Bs and As anyway!  And when it comes down to it they should be GLAD their exams require a lot of work, because it usually shows that we&#8217;re really getting our moneys worth.</p>
<p>Anyway, I was going against the grain and smiling (yes! smiling&#8230; during reading period!  the day before exams! can you believe it?!) as I walked back to Wilder today.  And I was listening to some wonderful M. Ward.  I thought I&#8217;d share the song I listened to &#8211; my iPod was on random but it picked the perfect song.  Here it is &#8211; I hope everyone is enjoying spring/summer and I&#8217;ll be writing again soon!</p>
