As the basketball season is getting going the semester is beginning to come to a close. In all four of my classes I have taken or will soon take my final exam before finals. The end of the semester is always a hectic time at Coe because although it is only mid November class time is at a premium due to Thanksgiving break. We get three days off of class for break, as some colleges get the whole week off we enjoy fall break in October instead. As it is mid November it means that the games are about to begin as we play our opener against Mount Mercy tomorrow. It will be nice to play some outside competition as we have constantly been beating up on each other in practice for almost a month now. This time of year though is really important to balance academics and athletics. With finals approaching we will be given a day or two off of basketball to prepare and study. Not every class offers a traditional final, as some classes require presentations or papers in place of a final. In addition, not all finals are cumulative as all four of my finals this semester will not be comprehensive. Also on the academic front we recently registered for classes for next semester. Students are required to meet with their advisors before they register to talk about requirements and then students sign up for their classes online based on the number of credits they have completed. It’s definitely crunch time for school and basketball!
