Wow, the show is winding down, which only means one thing. Show withdrawal... and FINALS week!! (Well okay, two things.) It feels almost as though I just started these classes, and suddenly the semester is over. My last psychology and theology classes were today, and it seems strange to know the next time I step into those rooms I will be taking my final.
I remember my first experience with finals week last year as a freshman; being so nervous to be examined on the collegiate level on these subjects. Then I realized.. I had been studying all semester, working with my teachers, and preparing for this the whole time! I just needed to stay calm, go over the study guides, do some reading and stick out the week. And I did!
Finals week ushers in a sort of calm to the campus; everyone is busy studying and concentrating on finishing the semester on a good note. This is the time of year when you are most likely to get free coffee from various clubs and organizations around campus and see students in sweatpants all the time.
There are two events, though, that I love above all others for finals week. Every semester comes to its end with the Mid-Knight Pancake Breakfast; a time when the faculty serves a DELICIOUS pancake breakfast to studying students from 9:30 to midnight the night before finals begin. I went both semesters last year, and not only did I have a great time taking a study break with all of my friends, but it was so cool to see all my teachers (and Dr. Garibaldi) serving us breakfast!! This coming Sunday is the Mid-Knight Breakfast for this semester, and I couldn’t be more excited J
Second? WERG’s Top 90 Countdown of the year: last year I listened all day from my dorm while studying, but this year I’m not just listening- I’ll be hosting an hour of the countdown! From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m on Tuesday, December 16, we’ll be counting down the best music that we’ve been playing since the beginning of 2008 (I’ve seen some preliminary lists, it’s shaping up to be a great show!). I’ll be in the studio from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. counting down the songs on the air, and I’m super excited!! I’ve never hosted all or even part of a count down show, so this will be another new experience for me. You can listen to me on 90.5 WERG or online at www.wergfm.com if you click the “LISTEN LIVE” link at the top of the page J
Good luck to any of you with finals coming up, I’ll be studying right along with you over the next two weeks.
Until next time-
Peace :-)
