DECEMBER 2002

Here we are, entering the final phase of the first trimester! It seems that the first year students' faces have changed already--a bit more tired, a bit more stressed. It even appears that they prefer to study rather than come to parties!! But don't worry, holidays are coming soon and we'll all get the rest we deserve! Second years, we are allowed to rest but don't forget Professor Gamble's assignment due on the 6th of January. "L'IMHI et une nuit" party was a real success, and apparently pleased all the people who showed up. Unfortunately, there weren't enough people to finish the punch and we had to continue drinking the punch all week long so as not to let it go to waste! By the way, the next party is scheduled for the last day of final exams (Thursday December 12th). We hope to see ALL of you to celebrate the upcoming vacation. Last but not least, thanks to you of all for your support and participation towards our graduation. I predict, thanks to you, that it will be a great event. Good luck for the last weeks of this term. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (I know I'm a bit early!). Céline

This first trimester will soon come to its end!! First years time to "overcome" Peter and Bob's classes Second years we are soon coming to the final
