Happy Break: Replenish your Energy!
Dear Class of 2014.

Land's End
Land’s end. It’s not just the name of a clothing company. The term is used in sailing to refer to that last bit of terra firma you encounter. You can hug the coastline only so long if you’re on a transoceanic voyage before committing yourself to the open ocean. You’re almost at the “land’s end” of your academic travels. more>>

Christmas on Oakmont

Oakmont Court following the Christmas Vespers on Sunday,
December 8. Please consider volunteering for this yearly
tradition. For more information, please e-mail Maureen Chea or call 999-7311.
Surviving the End
of the Semester
Only
about two weeks of classes remain.
Papers and projects are coming due.
Then comes final exams. That’s a
lot of work to manage. You need a
carefully thought out game plan! First,
make a list of all your remaining assignments and exams in chronological
order. Second, break each task into
manageable steps. Third, estimate how
many hours it will take you to accomplish each step for each item on your
list. Fourth, put the items on a
calendar with your time estimates written next to them. Now you can see how many hours of work are
needed on the days leading up to each due date, so you can plan
accordingly. Using the Trinity
Daily Activity Schedule, you can map out which steps you will do when. For more specific study skills, please visit Counseling Services’ self-help
page.
