What the fuck ever happened to the study period?

This is the last week of classes for the semester, and once again I wonder: what the fuck happened to all the time students used to get for studying? When my parents were in college, they got a week off to prepare. When my sister was in college, the same. Last year, we got three days. This year, we get no days (thanks, Gustav!). That's bullshit. I demand the same meaningless preparation time that my predecessors received.
