With less than three weeks left in the semester, there are final projects and 'adventures' coming up. I currently have a final Paideia paper, Math project, and Religion papers all due within the next couple of weeks. I've decided to start working hard on those assignments now so as to make things a little easier down the road.
Concerning the Paideia paper, we're to formulate a thesis and write an argumentative paper on at least two of the books we have read so far. The first draft of the paper was supposed to be due in class tomorrow, but my Paideia professor decided that we could just bring an outline of our arguments to class and turn in the draft on Wednesday [that helps a bit]. Nonetheless, the bad part about this paper is, for my section, it is open-ended; we weren't given any specific topic to write on. I literally spent half of my day trying to decide what to write on. But finally, I have the outline done. And that's all that matters...
Last week, we (Ylvi Hall Council) challenged Brandt Hall Council to a game of capture the flag. In order to create some tension, we sent them a really provocative letter [they still feel a little mad about it, but that's okay...] Apparently, it worked; they accepted our challenge and quickly sent delegates to discuss the game with us. What's most exciting is that we are going to be using the whole campus to play this Saturday in the afternoon [we hope the weather behaves]. It seems like it's going to turn out really well if we publicize well enough; each hall council is responsible for spreading the word to its residents.
Ylvi Hall council is also organizing a stress relief titled "CocoLoco" to celebrate the World Chocolate Day [we're really just using this as a stress relief for the hall on reading day before the finals]. We'll have chocolate fountains, make cookies, etc. It's exciting things like this that keep one going for these long, final weeks of the semester...
Take Care!
