This is a curious week, Gators. There’s not really a name for it either. It’s the post-Thanksgiving week where most of us grumble like Eeyore all the way to Gainesville, yet it’s not time for winter break. It’s the teaser week in between. It’s the week where professors plague our schedules with one final exam before the final exam. It’s the week where we switch our thermostats from air conditioning to heat in the span of an evening. It’s often called “Hell week.” So, for those of you wallowing in self-pity with your 98-page papers, your double-hand count of exams left and just general longing for the solace of winter break, never fear. The Department of Darts and Laurels is here to present you with your First-Of-Its-Kind-Thankscember edition of Darts & Laurels.
