Spring Break is coming to an end

This past week was Spring Break for students at Point Park. I went to Virginia Beach on Friday and came back on Wednesday. I have been in my dorm room since, not wanting to spend any more time with my family as possible, since I "mess with the flow of the household," as my mother says.

I'm glad they don't close the dorms or do extensive work on them during breaks so I have this opportunity to be here any time I want, even on breaks, like a real apartment. I've mostly been working on the extensive amount of homework I received for break.

I don't understand why professors see this week as a time to overload students with homework. It's break! Not everyone just sits around. It should be treated as a break, and not a time to move forward in teaching.

Having people over

Last night, my two roommates and I had people over for the last time before spring break. We played the Wii, which keeps us occupied with most of our free-time since nothing is open past about seven o'clock Downtown.

That brings me to how we get non-residents into the building. I really enjoy the policy here in the suites this year. I remember last year in Lawrence, you could sign someone in, but they had to give security their ID and had to be out by 1 a.m., I think. To have someone spend the night, you had to go to the office of Campus Life and get a sheet of paper signed and the roommate to sign the paper as well. Now, at least in the suites, we can sign in anyone, and they can stay as long as they want, including the entire night. I'm sure it was just a safety issue before, but it was such a hassle.

Since spring break is this coming week, the residents halls are clearing out...along with me. Have a good break!
