In Preparation for Finals

I saw a truly brilliant performance last night. Last year, some of my friends saw this band, Scythian (a DC-based celtic/folk/rock/world group), and none of them could stop raving about it. So this year, when one of those friends got excited for the band's return I knew I had to go.

That was a month or more ago, and since then schedules were reworked and finals were suddenly approaching and earlier this week while fighting the flu/bronchitis/fake pinkeye/whatever I really had, I found myself second-guessing if I really wanted to go or not. Needless to say, I told myself "go big or go home" and gathered all my energy and went out ready to enjoy the night.

After dancing for 2 and a half straight hours to a whole ton of fiddle, accordion (it's never looked like a more attractive instrument), and brass instruments in a never-looked-better 9:30 Club I felt ready to take on the world. So, in continuation of the campus-wide finals preparation advice-giving (mainly seen on our community blog), my final words (punny?) are to let it out before you hunker down. Get out your pent-up energy and frustrations and worries about your impending doom and get ready to vanquish your finals.
