Just the other day I was talking with someone who indicated their
project wasn’t due until November 28 and they had a month. But then we took a
close look at the calendar … once we removed Thanksgiving week, there is only
three working weeks for the project. This got me thinking – as of today there
are only….
- 28 days till Thanksgiving
- 40 days till Reading Day
- 54 days till Christmas
- 60 days till 2013
Every year I ask the same thing – where has the year gone?

Helpful Tools
As I pointed out, the end of the term is quickly approaching. Every
day it gets closer and closer and there isn’t anything we can do to stop it
from coming! So, we have to prepare ourselves.
I will start to put shopping lists together and you will start to prep
for the end of the term. While I have to do my list on my own, you have the The
Student Success Center ready and waiting to help you.
They are offering a program called Making
it Through the Final Stretch that is specifically designed to help you in these
last 40 days. I strongly encourage everyone to check out. The program is
offered on 11/13, 11/14 and 11/26.

Those stars and colors you see when you rub your eyes are called phosphenes.
Ut Prosim
I’ve given everyone a lot of information about ways to serve and
how to give back; all good info. But just yesterday, something dawned on me
when I learned that October was National Bully Prevention Month.
(I didn’t know that. Am even more upset to realize we need an
entire month to remind us to stand up to bullies.)
Anyway, it dawned on me that perhaps we can serve by stopping
bullies in their tracks. Take a minute and Facebook Amanda Todd. Look up her
story; see what beautiful a girl she was. Tell me, better yet, think to
yourself if you knew her, what would you have done for her. If you ever find
yourself in a similar situation – what will you do? Will you serve the one who
needs you?
