This Weekend in the People’s Republic
Finals week has rolled around once again! Though high on stress and low on sleep, I can’t help but realize that this is my second to last time that I’ll have to deal with this feeling as an undergraduate. It’s almost enough to feel nostalgic.
…Almost.
Anyway, you should try some of this right and relevant culture if you have time and inclination. I have the latter, but I have a hot date with this Metabolism final tomorrow! Except by “hot” I mean “fiery inferno”, and by “date” I mean “of death, destruction and peptide bonds”.
So get thee outside into this GLOREOUS weather! If not for you, then for me!!
By the by, here’s my song of the moment; that man’s cello does wonders for the stress levels. Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Community Harvest [GIVE]
Meet at Cost Plus Parking Lot
12-3pm
FREE, just RSVP
Have a couple hours to spare this weekend? What better way than to get out there and pick some delicious fruits (citrus!) from local backyards!! At the end, you leave having met a group of great people, with the knowledge that you helped contribute anywhere between 500 to 1000 pounds of fruit to a local organization, AND with some of the imperfect fruit for you to munch on later! If this weather doesn’t look like it’s going to hold out, you can call their (toll-free) line after 8am to confirm that harvesting is still on: 1-888-378-4841, EXT 730.

Streb: Brave [DANCE]
Mondavi Center Presenting Program
Jackson Hall
3pm
They claim that, in watching Streb, you will be on the edge of your seat and that it will take your breath away. Now, I don’t want to make any crazy promises but it DOES look like a pretty stellar performance!
