At Swarthmore this semester..., some students were deeply annoyed that the administration attempted to enforce a rule against parties between midnight and 2am on Thursday nights (or Friday mornings, to be more precise).I'm feeling old, kill-joyish, and stick-in-the-mudish. Students should not be partying on Thursday nights, or on any weekday nights. More to say here, but it will conjure up the image of a middle-aged person harrumphing, so I'll refrain. What really makes me feel old is the fact that one of my contemporaries (actually one of my brother's contemporaries, but same diff) has a daughter now at Swarthmore. (I'd guess she's not partying on Thursday nights. But I don't know.)
P.s. If American English is your native language and you don't know the expression "same diff," you're too young to be reading this blog.

Improve the curve.
Assuming the test is on Friday.
Pay a friend to hold a major bash for classmates on Thursday night.
Don't attend - Get a good nights sleep.
Get a much higher score relative to the class on Friday.
Don't know if it would work, I would have been attending the party.

Hmmm...
Applied ethics, anyone?
