Winter Break Part Two

This January, we got record breaking snowfalls and had to miss over a week of school altogether. Finals usually take place the third week of January and the week before is called "dead week" because it is meant to be a time for studying and review. This year, dead week was more dead than we all anticipated! While we were all at home becauuse school was cancelled, we had what was called "digital learning" days where students were to communicate with teachers online at scheduled times. Work was assigned and we were expected to finish it just the same as we do when we're at school. After returning to school some students said digital learning days were very effective and helped them study even more than being at shcool, while others found the entire experience a bit isolating. In general, the consensus was that the first few days of snow were exciting and very fun, but after a bit, our lives were disrupted and many people missed normalcy and routine. Thankfully, finals are over and we have begun second semester. Let's see what third quarter has in store for us!
