BLUE SKIES AT THE END

You can tell it is the last day of classes and finals are next week because campus seemed empty today. Between classes it seemed like no one was around. Everyone was a)ditching b)finishing projects/papers/presentations all due today or c)already studying for 7:30am Monday morning.
On the other hand, the quad outside the library and the library itself is a swarming mass of backpacks. The chances of finding a table, computer, chair, or even a corner in the library is slim to none. The student union which has couches where people sleep/relax between classes and generally is a stress-free not completely silent place to hang out has turned into a second library where if you even walk too loud, glares are sent your way.
Classes seem to stretch from the normal 50 minutes to a never ending 2 hours. Everyone is trying to contain their excitement that its over but at the same time there's this underlying feeling of stress through it all.

All this is magnified by the fact that it's 65 degrees outside with perfectly clear blue skies.
