Even by the “it’s been a heck of a week” standards we’ve come to expect, this has been a heck of a week. In addition to US politics and world events, for many of you this is a week of mid-terms and papers. That means it’s also a week of more stress than sleep.
You have a few more days then you get a bit of breather. Remember that your exams are not your final grades, and that your grades say nothing about who you are as a person. Give each other a bit of space and grace, be a shoulder to someone who could use one, and ask for a shoulder if you need it.
We’re all tired, we’re all stressed, and we’ll all come back in a couple weeks more or less rested and ready to do it all again.
