Charity Ball, Voting, Final Exams/Residence, and Co-op

By Maria Christina

Hey everyone! Sorry about the lack of posts. I’ve been quite busy. Here are a few things that have either happened or are happening, or going to happening soon!

CHARITY BALL
This years Charity Ball was a HUGE success. It was located at the Waterloo Inn and it was great! We had roses on sale, a professional photographer, an amazing selection of food, a great committee putting this together, as well as two great charities that we were donating to: LiveStrong and Free the Children. There are pictures being posted right now! So if you want to take a look, there is a link at the bottom of the page.

VOTING
Well, there are two things going on right now in the University of Waterloo. Math Society is deciding whether or not to raise the Math fee by $2 to improve student spacing (ie: Comfy Lounge) and FEDS is trying to decide whether or not to implement a Universal Bus Pass. There are flyers going around EVERYWHERE supporting YES and NO to both of these issues. The voting takes place from March 28th – March 31st. Both sides have good points being made about the pro’s and con’s to each of these decisions. But again, we, the students, must vote. If you want to read about these two referendum’s, please go to: http://www.vote.feds.ca.

FINALS/Residence
So, my final exams are coming up. I have the following exam dates:
April 9th, April 10th, April 11th, April 13th, and April 18th. I am officially done and can move back home on April 18th/19th. We are again given 24hours to move from residence.
I will be living in UWP next year as an upper year student. I will also be in the living learning community once agian. I do not know my roommates as of yet, but so far they seem like nice people.

CO-OP
This summer, I will be on my co-op term. I will still be writing on here. So don’t think I’m gone just yet! For those of you who read my posts and have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Have a great week everyone!
