Reading Week!

The first milestone of the school year was finally upon us - reading week. This means something different for everyone, and marks the half way stage of the first semester.

From the eyes of the students:


"We have all just arrived back from a well deserved week off during the past fall reading week. For some it was a week of relaxation and time to see family, friends or perhaps work. While for others it was a period of time to get caught up on school work and extra time to study for mid-term exams to help ensure their academic success."

"Although reading week came and went quite quickly, it was a successful week for relieving the stress of students and catching up with family and friends. Those students who stayed in Residence enjoyed a quiet week to relax, enjoy themselves and forget about the worries of schoolwork. For the many students who went home for the week, the time was spent with family enjoying a quick break before classes start up at full speed again. Either way the week was spent, students were thankful for a short break from the university environment and can now breathe a little easier thanks to the time away"


"After weeks of intense assignments, studying and midterms a well deserved break was in desperate need. The majority of students living in residence went home for the week to spend with family and friends, but a few of us remained and spent some time exploring the different residences than our own. My personal favourite was U of S,  It was pretty cool to see all the different cultures come together, we were taught some complex dance moves and played expert levels of pingpong. It's unbelievable how welcoming the environment is, everyone instantly welcomes you as family, I recommend everyone to go out of their way to explore U of S! Other than exploring rez was pretty low key, the loud music at night was still present but rez wouldn't be rez without it! I'm sure just like everyone else it was nice to come back to LU to see all your friends and favourite profs. Now it's time to look forward to Christmas break! "

Regardless of how people spent their reading week, it is a time that is truly valued by all. 

That leads us to the question: How did you spend your reading week?
