Recap: Dead day

Today is called a Dead Day, here at UCD. Otherwise known as The Day Without Classes So the Students Can Panic Unrestrained Before the True Horrors of Finals Are Unleased Upon Them the Next Day. Or so I gather, mostly from the first years around here. I'll be taking full advantage of this day sometimes in June, meanwhile, I have to go to a chem review session scheduled today. Then read more chem, because everyone agreed that chem finals are evil because they are, more likely than not, cumulative.

It looks like it will rain today, but then again, appearances can be deceptive.

Random question: 'everyone' is singular, isn't it? Because it groups individuals into one...group, which therefore becomes one object?

[edit 14:10]
Unless I am very much mistaken (let's hope that I'm not), I've just gotten myself out of the bio final tomorrow so instead of the planned meeting with the frosh doc professor at 7, taking the final at 10:30, job training at 3:30, and work at 5:30, I only have the job training and work.
Hopefully I haven't spoken too soon.

Meanwhile, I have seen the practice chem final and problem 1 is worth 102 points. It is somewhat unnerving. (Total test, 8 problems.)

what kind of a problem can be worth so many points o-O??

also, "everyone" is singular.

and at ucla this entire week before finals is officially called "dead week" but we still have classes.
