The Last Stretch

So this is the last week where you as students are supposed to put your head down, and focus everything you have on final projects. I know a good handful of you will definitely manage the task.  You'll go sleepless, eat like crap and hallucinate at 2am that the dog was just speaking to you in Swahili that you should redraw everything on blue chip board and present your project in leatherhosen. So buck up and get the job done!!

You may think "Well it's easy for him to say buck up and get the job done" however I do remember how difficult the final week was. It may have been 27 years ago but I remember as if it were just yesterday. It was hard. I didn't possess super powers (although I do now), I would just bare knuckle it forward, as most of you guys do.
I learned later that when I devoted the time to work on my projects during the semester, that it always made the final week much easier because, most of my work was already done and I was therefore enthusiastic to present a project which I had faith in. This relaxed and enthusiastic effort was all due to the time I invested in the project during that semester.
The lesson today is to please put the damn time in during the semester so that I don't have to hear you whine later. Now go learn Swahili and buy a pair of leatherhosen.
