All Students - Coming to a Close

Hey guys!

We are nearing the end of the semester! Yes, time flies when you're having fun... or when your brain is being stuffed with information. Either way, finals are in less than two weeks. I am confident that all of you will pass with flying colors :-)

To give you an update on the schedule, we will be having TWO MORE open labs this semester. This week Berly is here to give 111 students personal one-on-one feedback to help them prepare for the final (so why aren't you all here!?) and I'm here to help out both the 111 and 120 students. Next week will be the last lab before practicums, and the week after you are welcome to come here to brush up on your online course material or just massage each other to decompress after a long, triumphant semester.

For the summer semester, the open lab will be on Wednesdays from 8am to 2pm. That is a 6 hour block of time for you to use to your advantage! TO ALL CURRENT MAT120 STUDENTS: you may utilize this lab time as practice time to keep up your massage skills while you wait to get your license!

For future MAT120 students, I suspect that I'll be seeing many of you in the summer open labs because the course load is quite different and stressful at times. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that class, but it can be tough. So I'll be here to support you throughout the semester :-)

Good luck on your final exams, everyone!
