One final Flunk Day!

Each spring the President of Coe College cancels a random day of class. This day is called "Flunk Day," a tradition of the college that, of course, continues to thrive at Coe!! It is an extremely fun, school-wide celebration for all Coe students. We are allowed to take the day off -- free from classes -- and enjoy many different forms of entertainment on the quad (the center lawn of our campus). This year we had a live band, games, prizes, giveaways, blow-up obstacles and even a jacuzzi-style foam party! It was awesome. I could probably write about this year's FD for quite some time, but we all know the saying "a picture speaks 1,000 words," right?!

There is a theme every year; this year it was "life guards." There is a committee of 40+ seniors who help to fund raise for this event, and on the actual day, set up and tear down. We all wear matching costumes and this year we had a lot of fun with our life guarding whistles!!!

To the left is the foam party! There was a DJ and food for everyone still having fun on the quad...all night long!

Almost graduation...

Graduation is less than a month away, and it's slowly starting to become reality that I'm going to be completely done with classes on April 23rd!! Until then though, I plan to keep having fun as my final college days are coming to an end.

I have been doing a variety of "things" lately. My daily schedule hasn't changed a whole lot -- wake up, babysit, go to my internship, go to class, workout, study & occasionally sleep -- however, I've managed to make time to hang out with my friends a lot more and it's been a blast. We've been playing racquetball, eating out, playing cards, singing karaoke and doing whatever else around Cedar Rapids that intrigues us. Soon we will buckle back down for our last round of finals -- ever! It will be nice to be done with classes, but I wish I could stay at Coe forever.

This weekend I'm helping a friend move, going country line dancing on Saturday at Swisher and helping with a church retreat on Sunday! It'll be another busy, but very eventful weekend. :)
