Week off before Final's week

I think it is hard enough to do 4-5 final exams in a week, and on top of that there are so many projects due on the week before finals, making it impossible for us to start studying early for finals. I strongly believe that we should get a week off right before finals. This will help everyone study and get ready for the week that is coming ahead. I know that there is supposed to be a rule here at PSU, I believe it is that the maximum of a final grade that can be defined in the last two weeks of class is 30% and I know from personal experience that a bunch of professors make huge projects due the week before finals even though they also have finals on finals week. Sometimes summing up to more than 30% of the final grade for the class being defined in the last 2 weeks of class. Even though some have a final that is 20% and a project that is 10%, which will make it fine according to the rule, the problem is not the percentage but the time and effort that both of them need in order to score a good grade. I just hoped that I didn't had two weeks as crazy as the ones coming up. And a great solution could be a break right before finals.
