I Have How Many Days to Learn What?

Maybe it's just me but it seems like our reading period shrunk considerably since last year. I guess I should be grateful for the extra week of vacay we get for Christmas break, but I think a couple extra days to learn entire subjects would be nice. I always end up kicking myself right before finals start because I am never as prepared as I would like. I admit I have not used my time wisely at all. Even today, the day before finals week starts, I was cooking up a storm and cleaning my house instead of reading. What is wrong with me?
