Busy Busy Busy
February 5th, 2008
Life at EMU is currently very busy and at sometimes stressful. Right now at EMU:
- After a few weeks into a new semester, students are starting to realize that it’s not all fun and games and we actually have to start working.
- Pretty much every prof decided to give an exam either this week or in the coming week.
- The flu is making its way around campus. First, it dominated all of Roselawn, and its next stop is my floor of Elmwood, then to the rest of Elmwood. This flu has the ability to make people miserable, sleepy, and miss classes. This is not good when exams are days away.
- This weekend is a Campus Visit weekend, meaning lots and lots of wonderful prospective students will be on campus for tonight and tomorrow. However, this does mean that the caf will serve better food.
- An ice storm has been predicted for tomorrow morning. This could potentially interrupt prospective student activities. But, it could also lead to another snow day, which I would happy about because I have two exams tomorrow.
- Volleyball and lacrosse intramurals are keeping people busy and lasting until as late as midnight.
- Work study and off campus jobs also keep students busy. My job in admissions takes up 7 hours of my busy week, but is also somewhat relaxing because of the terrific people in the office!
- Royals Society, a student hospitality team, keeps me writing postcards one hour a week.
- And lastly, my busy week consists of a few hours donated to giving plasma. There is this cool place about 15 minutes from school where you can donate plasma, which is a part of your blood, and get paid for it! So while I’m donating, I study and make money at the same time. It’s great.
Though college life is a little stressful these days, I love it. It’s a fun place to be, and I love the friends that I am surrounded by that help me get through these times!
