this too shall pass?

It's that time of year again- the week before finals, when papers are due and all those things you have been putting off suddenly become unavoidable. As usual, I am not handling it with very much grace. The difference this year is that I have Robb by my side, being patient and kind and helpful. This leads me to hope a couple of different things:
a) that I live up to his expectations
b) that I can someday repay him for his hours of sitting with me while I do homework
and
c) that I actually pass these courses so that his efforts and time will not have been in vain.
I may not be able to write these papers and take these tests for my own good, but I can definitely do them for Robb's sake.
