Thanks for all the grammar explanations, everybody.
Jesse, when is your semester supposed to end? (sorry, I have no idea. And it is your last one, so you'll be all finished when it's done, right?)
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yep, I'm done done done next Monday. Eek! But I think I ODed on stress already, so now I can't seem to care anymore.

Is it OK if I like the way you described the situation?
Also, do you have lots of work left before Monday?
Also also, Go you!

Thanks! I have some significant work to do on two different papers (one big and one little), but they are both in decent shape. So I'm going to head to school this afternoon in the hopes of doing some really focused work.

Do you have anything fun planned for after-Monday? Because you'd totally deserve that.

Actually now, thinking about it, I think I've treated stuff as both singular and plural.
This page says that it's a mass noun:
X-post.

Oh yeah. Tuesday I'm thinking I'll clean my house, and I think a friend is having people over on Wednesday, and then graduation is Thursday and Friday, and there will be much celebrating and parties and stuff. Yay.

Sue, I wonder if it can be a regional thing, or something like that? Either way, thanks for not only trying to help, but also sharing my confusion.
[Edit:
Oh yeah. Tuesday I'm thinking I'll clean my house
I hope you're not in such dire state that cleaning looks like fun to you. Everything else on your list reads really fun, though.
Oh, and 6*7=42]

My apartment is in a truly dire state, and as of Monday most of what's cluttering it up can just go in the trash! Or recycling.

A friend who is doing her Masters' now (though she's only at her first year) likes to say that just in these times of the most urgent need to sit and study, when the material bores her and she really truly doens't want to sit and study, that's the time when suddenly she notices how her apartment needs cleaning, how she really needs to cook healthier food, with a long and complicated list of instructions, even how she suddenly re-connects with all friends and aquitances, because even looking up their phone numbers and talking to them seems more appealing than studying.
OK, that was a really long sentence.
