For many students, u dead days” double as vacation time By Beth Brown THE BATTALION The Perfect Gifts for Your Aggie Graduation. % With the end of the semester fast approaching, there is one thing on many students’ minds: final exams. Only a few class days remain, and following them are “dead days,” which can be enjoyable as a small break from studying, “Dead days seem more like an opportu nity to have the fun that you have been missing out on all semester, rather than more time to study,” said Claire Brown, a senior English major. “I usually like to go to the (Student Recreation Center) or go running. The extra workouts relieve the stress and make me feel bet ter after eating all those care packages. Dead days are the ideal — college life without class.” Perhaps this is a point that many students miss, because most face inten sive work during the three days. But dead days can serve as a “pre-holiday” before final exams and the winter break. “I go Christmas shopping because it gives me a break from the monotony of studying,” said Janet Walther. a junior English major. Dead days can be productive for non- academic work as well as studying. “1 sometimes take a trip to Houston or Austin to watch an independent film, since they don’t often come to College Station,” said Dan Steele, a sophomore English major.

You could feel stress of everyone there cramming their finals. You couldn’t talkormab noises — the only sounds youct; hear were the turning of pages." Coufal recommends that state tudy in a place where they cantda like at home, where you can break to watch TV, talk to your rat mate or do other things in between# ing." Coufal stressed the importance pacing oneself. “I would not study for prolong periods of time without taking: break and ‘rewarding’ myself See Dead Days on I* Citizen Watches with Official A&M Seal Gold-Tone $\7<^ Two-Tone .
