As the end of the year comes around (the end of my first year in college), events have been tripping over each other for space in the days. Lectures, panels, large-scale cultural group meetings, performance arts events, fun stuff, all in short spaces. Last weekend my friends and I went to Philadelphia for wonderful Thai food (non-sharples delight) and a concert. Unfortunately we missed
1 Dance classes putting on a performance
1 Play
1 Jazz Concert Recital
1 Party
at least.
This week is the last week of classes. My religion seminar was held outside near the President’s House (yes, he lives on campus) under a cherry blossom tree near a lilac tree. Aside from intense discussion, we ended the course by meditating for a while. The campus is celebrating by having a Willets carnival tomorrow, movies on Parrish beach complete with popcorn and cotton candy, music, food, parties, etc.
Seriously, we do work. I have 1 15 page spiritual autobiography to write, 1 3 hr english exam to prepare for, 1 3 hr stat exam and a philosophy paper or exam. It’s not as bad as my roommate who has 4 papers, 1 exam, 1 presentation and 1 lab report to write. Let the misery poker begin. Cheers to the end of the year!
