Mid-terms are upon us. And you can tell.
\nThe campus is quieter than usual; people dragging themselves from class to class (or running if they slept too late).
\nBut somehow I\u2019ve kept my sanity.
\nLast Friday night the Hillel organization had a Shabbat dinner, complete with challah, cougel and brisket. 24 people showed up for services and dinner, which was fantastic. Great way to start off the weekend; and when I say start off, I mean that when we were done with the cooking and we had cleaned up, THAT was the good start of my weekend.
\nOn Saturday I went on a hike with Puget Sound Outdoors. We went hiking somewhere in the foothills of the Cascade mountains. My friend Sohan and I had a jolly good time.<\/div>\n

\nIt was absolutely incredible to be back in the mountains (I hadn\u2019t been hiking since Passages). It really helped take away some stress, which should be a given ,since it’s a hike in the mountains. We even got some sun! When we were at a look-out point playing a game of Ninja the sun came out and gave us some Light, Sunshine and vitamin D! It was quite the joyous event. However much I love rain, it’s still nice to get sun once in a while….<\/div>\n

Sunday I had an in-house retreat for the Spirituality Service and Social Justice office. We have some cool events coming up (March 28 in the Rotunda?) and it seems like the upcoming years are going to be increasingly busy and hopefully more diverse, in terms of backgrounds and events.<\/div>\n
\n

Back to mid-terms, Monday I had Philosophy and International Relations papers due, and a Geology test Wednesday. It’s finally over!
\nThe campus seems almost more upbeat now — whether it\u2019s because I\u2019m a better mood or because people are done with mid-terms is up to interpretation. I vote for the latter.<\/p>\n

Anyway,\u00a0I wish everyone the best of luck with mid-terms and safe travels home!
\nI\u2019ll be on campus for spring break, doing the Alternative Spring Break program in Tacoma, volunteering and whatnot, but you\u2019ll here more about it next week.<\/p>\n
