Oh sylly week.. or syllabus week to some. If you aren't a college student let me first explain what "sylly" week is (although you could probably take a pretty good guess). "Sylly" week is the first week of classes or syllabus week. The idea is that everyone goes out and parties the entire first week of class because professors are literally just going over rules and expectations for the class.

You can imagine my shock when on the second day of class I got an email for two of my professors outlining what reading they wanted done by Thursday. I was under the impression that I wouldn't have anything to do this week.

To me syllabus week is a complete and total myth along with a hit or miss. Depending on your major you could have no work during sylly week or quite a bit of homework. Now I don't want to offend anyone but we all know that some majors are more work than others. I did not expect to have the amount of work I did during "sylly" week. I literally expected to be able to spend every night at KAM's. However I have not gone one weeknight this week.

In conclusion to this quick little blurb... Don't judge anyone for not going out every night of the week during syllabus week. Just because you don't have homework doesn't mean that no one else does either. If you don't have homework, great good for you but some people do. So be respectful of that!
