Sunday we have our usual pancake breakfast and then study in Dominic's room all day. Thursday is the last official day for class before winter break, but all of our finals are Monday through Wednesday. Most people are gone by Thursday, so the professors hold class, but nothing's planned other than to turn in assignments, which you can do online. So, basically, everyone skips Thursday classes, which is what Dominic and I plan to do. "I'm sick of calculus. I need to switch to a different topic." Dominic shuts his book and sets it aside. "Did you finish writing in your English notebook?" I reach into my backpack and pull out the blue notebook, tossing it to him. "You might as well give me yours." Dominic and I are supposed to read earth other's notebooks and make comments after each entry.
