Thumbs Up
Good Night Moon
There was something primordial in the air last Thursday as silent youths bathed in silver starlight stared, transfixed, into the heavens at the full moon slipping, slowly from the sky… Okay, now that we're back from our brief foray into harlequin romance we just want to say that it was really cool to see a good portion of campus brave the nasty weather to get a look at last week's lunar eclipse. Even if some of Loyola's campus events tend to be under-attended, we still turn out for shows by Mother Nature.
Going Retro
Whether you're a second semester freshman or a second semester senior, you've probably figured out your favorite way to blow off steam by now. But if you ever find yourself in need of a break from your usual mile long run or mile long crawl along York try pretending to be four years old instead of 21, we're a big fan of roller-skating (YMCA and Hokey Pokey mandatory), finger-painting and coloring outside the lines.
Snow Day
All rumors of the necessity of inside-out pajamas and naked dancing under the full moon aside, the one hard and fast rule to ensure a snow day is that you must have completed every assignment that's due the next day. If you're counting on the snow day you won't get it. So, Loyola student body, thanks for the concerted homework completing movement that must have occurred last Thursday night to get us out of class on Friday even in the near absence of actual snow.
Thumbs Down
Scheduling Conflicts
Sometimes even good professors go bad. The line is usually something like this: "And remember you need to attend that lecture/play/cattle herding seminar tonight at 7 p.m." Of course, this is the first time you have heard of this infamous (and mandatory) evening event. And of course, already scheduled at 7 p.m., you have a staff meeting you can't miss (or it's kiss that ambiguously below minimum wage work-study job goodbye), quickly followed by a Skype session with your uncle who you haven't seen in a year because he's serving in the Peace Corp in Tajikistan (it's a real place, Google it), the point is, in college, nothing fits nicely into a 9-5 schedule, we'd appreciate a little advance notice.
