Are You a Fan of Tryptophan?



This special Thursday edition is coming your way for two reasons. 1) I don’t want you reading the blog while driving tomorrow and 2) I have a meeting Friday morning.

Please take your time and be very careful when you travel home for Thanksgiving Break & when you travel back to VT.  Sunday after Thanksgiving is the WORST on I81. (I gave up Thanksgiving travel because of Sunday after traffic.) Be safe by following road conditions, traffic alerts, and see traffic flow at http://www.511virginia.org/.

Important Dates
November 22 – Last day to request to reschedule an exam if you have 3 or more in 24 hours.
November 30 – spring web add/drop begins
December 6 – last day to apply for a withdrawal
December 6 – summer course request begins
December 11 – last day of classes
December 13-19 – Finals

Important Stuff
If you haven't already, please complete the super short survey about T-shirts by December 1: https://survey.vt.edu/survey/entry.jsp?id=1384964722846

Notice to all seniors who did not pick up their seniors portraits ... I selected a pose that will be used in the senior composite for you. 

Helpful Tools
Making it Through the Final Stretch
Are you stressed out over all the exams, papers, and group projects that will soon be taking up your time? Learn how to stay motivated, manage the stress, and find the time to do all of the things you need (plus some time for fun!). We will also review strategies for effective test taking. Next workshop dates are: Thursday, November 21 from 1:00-2:00pm & Monday, December 2 from 3:00-4:00pm
