on strike ...

So, as you all heard, France is on strike again... This time, it's against a new form of contract for young people (- 26) and blah blah blah, everything is wrong here, uni is shit and all the politics are stupid ! (apparently, but I have problems following the whole thing, as there isn't just 1 problem...)
Now, it's been two days that i couldn't manage to get into the uni buildings, which is kind of crap because i have exams in 2 weeks, and we need to finish the lectures (but it's not a valid excuse for the students who are on strike). I don't know if I should be glad to not have lectures (and thus have plenty of time to work on my exams) or not...
