The First Full Week of Classes as Told by Bernie Sanders

Thanks to the giant snowstorm that blew through the Burg a few weeks ago, JMU has yet to have a full week of classes (other than syllabus week, which of course doesn’t really count). After getting used to the feeling of waking up on Monday to realize that it’s already Tuesday, having to actually go to class five days in a row is going to be a tough break. But, never fear, Bernie Sanders is here to sum up the experience for those of you still traumatized by actually having to wake up for your Monday morning 8am.

It’s Monday morning and you wake up to the sad realization that you will, in fact, have a full five day week of classes.

Trying to remind professors that they need not invoke the wrath of Satan on your weekly planner is like

But, they leave you to burn in the firey pits of research paper hell anyways.

When one of your classmates says they’re glad to be back to a regular routine you look at them like

And when someone else says they hope the snow days are done for this year, you feel kind of like

Wednesday feels a lot like thinking it’s Thursday and therefore almost time for the weekend to begin.

And when you beg the hands of time to make the week go by a little faster, they reply with

Talking about the readings you haven’t kept up on sounds a lot like this

And when your professor stares at you blankly, you’re kind of just like

All you really want is the week to be over so that you can spend your weekend gettin’ down with your bad self.

So, by the time it’s actually Friday you have to resist the urge to walk out of your last class like this

And it’s time to wake up Saturday morning feeling something like this

They say the first one is always the hardest, so go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back for making it through the first full week of the semester. The next one is sure to be much more bearable.
