"I don't tend to do a lot of thinking these days," says Tobias T. Lee '94, a Cabot House resident.

But life has been more difficult for students writing theses.

"I have never been under more academic stress than I have been in the last three weeks," says Elizabeth D. Kilmartin '94, a biology concentrator in Winthrop House. Although Kilmartin does have plans to waste time after her thesis is due, I cut this interview short. Who needs to be depressed with other people's problems?

Then, Zaheer Ali returned my phone call. But he has a thesis due, too, in Afro-American studies.

"I've done the senior thesis procrastination thing, but right now I'm not doing that," Ali says. Otherwise, he's only had time for "planning the revolution," he says with a laugh.

In the meantime, those seniors--including me--who chose not to write theses worship lazily at the altar of "Cum Laude, General Studies."

Other than that, we seniors have no God.
