Finals Guilt

Finals are awfully strange, as a unit of time. Mine are really not so bad, they're really quite spread out, and so I'm studying for my test in Early Prophets/Nevi'im Rishonim, which is in a week, which is longer in advance than I usually study for much, but there Is a lot of material, so it's good, in its way. But it feels very strange and slow-paced, because there's no rush about it, in a way. And I feel guilty, because many people either have worked like mad and are done or almost done, or are working like mad and won't be done for quite a while yet. And so I feel like I Ought to be up to all hours preparing like mad, but I don't have a reason to deprive myself of so much sleep right now.

On the other hand, I took a perfectly reasonable grammar final today, was a subject for a friend's final project, did various bits of studying, and various and sundry other things today. So it's not like I haven't been busy. Oh well.

Why guilt? You're working at a casual pace because you're very intelligent and have healthy study habits, not because you've done something wrong. I could understand sympathy, maybe.

Thanks again for helping me out today.
