Flunk Day 2012

Hi everyone!  This week started off on an interesting note; Flunk Day happened on Monday.  Curious about what Flunk Day is?  Well, you could check out my post from last year.  Or keep reading and hear about my experience this year.

Flunk Day is a long standing Coe tradition, entering its 101st year of celebration.  It's a day where the Student Body President and Vice President from the previous term (so Justin and Kelly this year) cancel all classes and allow the student body to enjoy warm weather and a day of fun.  By 7 AM on the appointed Flunk Day, an email will be sitting in your inbox and people will be getting up to soak in the day.

This year, Flunk Day really caught everyone off guard, which is what should happen.  I woke up expecting classes and homework and instead, was treated to a day of sun and fun.  Alison P. and I went to Riley's for breakfast (a Flunk Day tradition we started last year).  Once we were back on campus, we hung out with more friends and had lunch (a cookout) on the Armstrong-Douglas quad.  The rest of the afternoon was blissful; Alison W. and I decided to grab a blanket and park out on the library quad.  After applying sunscreen, we soaked up the sun and kept adding more people to our group.  By the middle of the afternoon, we had 20 people laying on blankets and people watching with us.

After dinner, it was back to schoolwork.  I had Coe Review that night and we started to put the issue together!  I can't wait to see what it looks like.  Flunk Day 2012 was a huge success and a great way to start the week.
