Today, I went to the library and it was as crowded as Grand Central Station at rush hour. Packed! It took me a second, but then it hit me. It's that time of year again ... finals! And when finals come, so do the library campers: those who haven't been to the library (or to class that much) during semester, believe that they can save their semester if they bring a tent, a keg of coffee, a portable shower, and an extra sleeping bag to the library and camp out in there for a week.
After a week of camping in the library, the library campers -- you can call them the LC's for short -- leave the library, raise their arms triumphantly over their heads like Rocky and proclaim, "Man, did I work hard this semester." No you didn't.
It is really hard to save your semester in one week. My advice is to work consistently hard throughout the semester and you will do well and save money on the tent, shower, and keg of coffee. For more on the library campers, see Chapter Four: Stages of the Semester (Will You Work Hard During the Dog Days?)

P.S. This is all good.
