The Most Horrible TIme of the Year*
December 1, 2006 2:32 AM
t's the most horrible time of the year
With the 1Ls a-crying
And frantically asking you "What's a voir dire?"
It's the most horrible time of the year
It's the shit-shittiest two weeks of all
With those stressed-out study groups and no more class meetings
For the rest of the fall
It's the shit-shittiest two weeks of all
They'll be checking your ID, making sure you're not nineteen,
Ne'er mind the kids on the third flo'
There'll be outlines for classes that everyone passes
For exams from long, long ago
It's the most horrible time of the year
There'll be much hurried reading
And sleep will be fleeting
When test day draws near
It's the most horrible time of the year
They'll be checking your ID, making sure you're not nineteen,
Ne'er mind the kids on the third flo'
There'll be outlines for classes that everyone passes
For exams from long, long ago
It's the most horrible time of the year
There'll be much hurried reading
And sleep will be fleeting
When test day draws near
It's the most horrible time of the year
It's the most horrible time of the year
Yeah, it's the most horrible time of the yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaar!
*Sung to the tune of "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year."

jeez, you wait till the end of the post to clarify what tune it should be sung to. i was using "hotel california" and getting really frustrated!
Very nice, many smiles at that one. However, I'm less worried about finals than the weather, and its potential for horribility. I seriously just narrowly avoided several accidents on the way to work. That's a promising start for the winter.
As opposed to the rest of the year, when your near-accidents are caused by factors other than the weather? More to the point, I think crying 1Ls are the one bright spot of the season. It makes me appeciate the fact that I just don't care that much anymore.
You're completely correct, Kristin, that seeing the 1Ls cry is one of the highlights of finals. I remember being a 1L going into the first finals period. It was unbelievably stressful. This time, I just don't really care that much. I know I'll do ok--I won't tank my GPA and I won't guarantee myself Order of the Coif, either. So, whatever.
Mr. Vice,
Drive more carefully, man. It's a fucking clusterfuck out there.
Dee,
Hahahaha. I've been trying to set it to Hotel California, and it just won't work. Why'd you settle on that song?
That...was awesome.
And I heart watching 1Ls cry.
ismael, i picked it for the same reason i do anything--it just felt RIGHT.
Can you record a downloadable version of this and post it? I want to put this song on my iPod to listen to during my finals. Maybe I'll even tap my foot along to the music and annoy the hell out of some gunners for fun.
