In the Moodle forum "You know you're in the IA when," Central student John D. submitted "when people call the midterms and final exams the celebration of learning." West student Sarah W. responded in the following way: "lol last year my friends and i called the final exams the 'end of the year party tests.' It just makes it sound more fun...," a statement with which I agree wholeheartedly. Please people, let's bring this into common usage; how awesome would it be to start hearing people actually say things like the sample sentence?!
