DEad WEek

Why is the dead week called the dead week? People here call their study week "dead week", which, in my opinion, is inappropriate. Why not "alive week" or "lucky week"? At least the name makes you ease a little bit of the tension from the end of the semester.

Anyway, I think I'd better go back to study. Otherwise I'm really going to be dead next week, the last week of the Spring semester.
