It was the best of times, it was the Shadliest of times. We finally received feedback on our final projects, and we have decided which project we are to send to the inter-campus competition in Waterloo in October. As the program is winding down, there is a visible shift from the stresses of project and committee work to a more relaxed atmosphere. The Shads are starting to let their hair down. All is quiet on our not-so-western front.
The members of the Shad Valley Queen’s community are recovering from the stupendous maelstrom that was a shaving-cream and water-balloon fight after our shad Olympiad. Rehearsals for both our variety-show play and an immensely secret operation that I am not aloud to talk about went well. I probably have said too much already.
Moving on. Today we had lectures in two very different topics. The first being stem-cell research and application, and the second being civil engineering. The first was particularly interesting to me, though they were both very good. I was surprised by the lack of ethical discussion, but rather thankful as it meant we could talk about more science.
I’m running out of steam very quickly, so I will have to cut this entry short. I’ll end on a bit of a clichéd (but none-the-less important) note. As we have limited time left, let’s make these last few days the most memorable. Cheers everyone!
