Events, Elections, and Even More
Posted April 14, 2016 by Tara Pealer
This week was a little intense. I had completely new material to learn in tech class on Monday, two papers due Tuesday, four hours of volunteering at the career fair on Wednesday, and classes to pick out for my registration time on Friday morning. Between that, I had plans to come home to pick up my professional reimbursement check and plans to make with old friends I hadn’t seen in a while.
This semester has been like that a lot…every other week. One week I have free time, I’m relaxed and I feel like I have time to breathe. The next week I’m so stressed out that I’m surprised that I can find time to sleep.
But there’s plenty that’s exciting going on in SLIS right now. We’re about 25 days from the end of the semester, student elections just closed, and there are so many events happening in the next few weeks that it’s hard to keep track everything! Just in the last two weeks there were four or five different career focused events. Besides those, there was a game night, laser tag in the library, and, excitingly, the end of year event is a throwback prom!
I’ve also made about fifty different plans for the summer, from the party for my grandparent’s 60th wedding anniversary and vow renewal to the Dresden Dolls concert in August. With so much awesome stuff happening, it’s hard to focus on the fact that there’s still three final papers and two final project standing between me and May 10th!
