Very, very true. Kids at my school are flipping out. You cannot find a seat in the library and everyone looks like they're about to crack. YTF do they always put off big papers till the last week?

Compared to the workload a lot of us in finance expect after graduation, school really isn't that bad. I mean right now it kind of sucks but it's only for a week or so. Two exams yesterday and have to write a 15+ page paper on the sub prime mortgage crisis in the US and it's global economic impact... should be a solid 48 hour stint when I'm done. This is all almost a relief from my CFA studying in the last few weeks though.

Still... not that bad. I can't help but laugh at the kids freaking out because they have two history finals in one day and have to read a whole 50 pages before the test.
