Rainy Days and Mondays Always Get Me Down

The seniors last Monday is drizzly and wet. As I sat in the drafty auditorium taking my Chemistry final I wondered what the next three weeks would hold. Once the seniors are out there is hardly any class left, and for some classes hardly any students. One sohpomore in chemistry will be in a class of one come next week. Still the learning continues, accumulating in a chapter test during the finals period. This begs the question, is the material we are going to cover in the last weeks just not important enough to appear on the final? Wouldn't that time be better spent at other endeavors? If a class has its final early, and its student body drained, I vote classes be converted into open mods so students can use their time wisely.
