Step one. Headphones and loud music.
Step Two. Potent coffee in a ceramic mug.
Step Three. A mental cocktail of slight-delirium, oh help me Jesus-type prayer, and dorky excitement for learning.
It also helps to have a Zeppe the puppy calendar on your wall.
Wednesday night update: 12 pages of 47 written and 1 other mini-project half-done. The clock stops at 5pm Friday. It just stops. Andiamo! Let’s go!
And: My classmate Matt Lumpkin relates this sketch he did of finals. It is accurate.

You can do this, you can do this, you can do this!
