Happy Flunk Day

Hi folks.

Facebook is a wonderful thing. I woke up this morning and found from the official Knox College page that it's Flunk Day.

What is Flunk Day, you ask? Well, I pulled this from the Knox College website:

"Flunk Day. A campus-wide surprise party marks the arrival of spring for Knox students. The party's date, and even the identities of its organizers, is kept secret until the early morning, when the entire campus is awakened by the shouts of students running through campus and the ringing of the Old Main bell. All classes are cancelled--and exam dates and paper deadlines postponed--for a day of music, games, food, and fun."

Flunk Day was such a treat to look forward to when I was an undergrad *cough*  years ago. I still look forward to it now. Granted, I don't get to play on the moonwalk thing (it's early and I can't think of the right words), or play in the senior-faculty softball game, or dance to the DJ at 8 AM, but I still make sure I can take off some time to enjoy myself.

So, today, after my Welsh oral exam and a little bit of work, I'm coming home, relaxing, and I'm going to give myself some extra time to write.

How can you celebrate Flunk Day today? What can you do that's just for you?
