February 13th, 2007 - New Study Area

Got this email from the Student Association yesterday

Opens Monday February 12th, 2007

Located near Library; next to UL

This is an exciting time here within our campus community as we are now
ready to open new student space on our campus. The Student Association
Service Centre is located next to the UL portable and will house the
following:

- Student Association Meeting Room (coming soon)

- Four Club Offices (coming soon)

- 100 seat study area

- Women's Centre (coming soon)

- Food Bank (coming soon)

This space will be open Monday to Friday 9 am to 9 pm. Over the next
few weeks the space will be 100% operational as we will be slowly
opening services and adding great new features to the space such as
wireless Internet, printers, and a lounge for those students who enjoy
studying in comfort.

This brand new space is 100% student focused. Please direct all
inquires to the Student Association Office at (905) 721-0457 or
studentcentre@dc-uoit.ca.

Thanks,

So from the sounds of it... its a room with 100 chairs and tables, maybe some couches, no printer, and no wireless (not sure about wired) internet... seems like a pretty appealing place to go study... hmmm cause the library is not close by. I'm thinking we should get a McDonalds.

Midterms Done

Finished up the last of my midterms on Friday. Was glad it was my easiest class so I didn't have to worry about it all that much. Only ended up studying for about 30 minutes lol. Had a pretty good weekend on res. Chilled with Brian for most of the time.

Heading up to North Bay for the weekend to hang out with the boys. Alec and Brett are picking me up here in Oshawa at around 6:30 - 7:00 on Thursday night and we will probably chill here for about an hour or so. Brett is looking to go to Durham next year so I'll give him a little tour of the Campus and what not. We'll head out for North Bay around 8 and hopefully, if everything goes properly, we'll get there by 10:30 - 11:00. Mapquest says it takes 3:50 but I think we can do it a fair bit quicker.

Had a history presentation to do last night and it went pretty well. From all the other tutorial groups I have seen so far, ours had the most discussion from the rest of the class although we did have an easy topic to discuss, Chinese Immigration to Canada. For history I only have an essay to write and exam for the rest of the year so I have to do well on both of those.
