Social Life During the Week

In high school all I ever heard about college as far as people getting together and partying was that it happens on the weekend, of course during high school you do get out and chill at some friends houses during the week but at least for me most of socializing during the week happened at school, during after school sports and clubs or on at parties on the weekend. This happened to me as well when I was looking at and visiting schools, all I ever heard about were weekend parties and I always wondered what people did other then homework during the rest of the week. For any of you that may have had similar experiences and are curious as to what happens at Beloit as far as life the other five days of the week hopefully this will give you some insight.

Ill give a run through of my day yesterday which was a fairly normal day for me at school. It started out with me first waking up at about 7:30am because both of my roommates are sciences majors which means they always have early morning class, I went back to sleep and got up around 10:10am and ran over to DK's grill since Commons closed at 9:30 so that I don't miss their breakfast which ends at 10:30(if you go after that you will use up your lunch swipe on your id and that is no good). So once I finished my Beloit Bagel(rip of egg mcmuffin) I went over to my international Econ class then right after that to The World Affairs Center for my Chinese class. After Chinese I had an hour break so I met up at Commons with about 8 of my friends for lunch. Lunch always seems to last the whole hour so I did not have a chance to catch up on the homework I didn't do the night before. My last class of the day was Emerging Infectious Disease and that lasted until 4 pm. After that I went back and chilled with my roommates for about half an hour then went over to the French house to see my girl friend. We headed over to dinner around 6 and ate with our usual crew for about an hour and a half. After that I had to run to a rowing meeting in the Java Joint(our campus coffee shop) which was for any new people that were interested in the club(we got three new rowers!) after the meeting I had a nice chat catching up with some of the other rowers who I hadn't seen since before the break. Since my roommate had gotten a new monitor for his computer the day before so we decided to screw homework(this is pretty rare occurrence for those who want to pass their classes but we didnt have too much) and give it and our new couch a test drive so we had about 5 other people over and watched the film "The Way of the Gun," a really cool but little know movie with some big names. It was about 1:30am when we finished and I was pretty tired so decided to hit the hay since I had a 9 o'clock class the next day.
