crunch week

That one week where ALL of your professors decide to give you projects/exams. It makes a lot of students fail under pressure. This week is usually towards the end of a semester.

Eddy: Ben, are you showing up for soccer practice?

Ben: Nah, it's crunch week. I've got three tests and two projects due tomorrow. These teachers have got no personal lives.

Eddy: Alright then. See ya next week.
