The “Final” week!

After eight months including NCUR, Penguin Ball, Midnight Madness, Boat Dance, ASDU elections, spring break, and midterms, this school year is almost over. Tuesday, May 1 was the end of the academic school year. It’s amazing to realize that after eight months, its all over; another year has come and gone. Today, Thursday, may 3rd is the start of Finals week.

As I sit here and write this, I think of the one Final I just finished for my Social Psychology class; a 50 question exam. Sounds like a lot but that is much easier than 10 – 25 free response questions. All I have is two more Finals and then I can declare myself free of academics for another year! Tomorrow and next Tuesday are the days of my remaining Finals.

This has been a great year to be part of student government. We put on some great events and really out did ourselves. We did a lot of things that have never been done at Dominican before. Next year, many of the members on student government are returning from this year’s group so that same drive and desire will be there.

The greatest thing about this time of year in college are the celebration dinners that every department and organization want to have as a method of thanking their staff for a job well done. I have attended one thus far and have been invited to four others. This is when all those extracurricular activities pay off.

With respect to athletics, all of our sports have wrapped-up. Tuesday, May 1 was the date for the Athletic Banquet Dinner. All Dominican teams; Men & Women’s Basketball, Golf, and Soccer, Men’s Lacrosse, and Women’s Tennis, Softball, Volleyball, and Cheerleaders, joined in the Gym and enjoyed receiving and watching their fellow athletes receive awards from their coaches. The event is always very classy and this was no different.

Well, that’s all from this Penguin. Got to get back to studying for Finals!!!

Stay Coo and Lets Go Penguin,
