Spring break coming up...

This week is a week of exams for our partners, a stressful time after which we will relax and go on our spring break trips.

Most of the partners are busy figuring out what they will do on such a break, specially since the guys have been busy with interviews for internships and now finals.

The partners club still has a bunch of things going on though, we had a happy hour, a visit to the museum, crocheting, and going to see a movie last night. There's always something going on to keep you busy!

And for a few very good laughs, go to youtube and in search look-up: public bathroom joke, hilarious!!!

Besos!

Snowed in

After a few months of little snow (well, ok, in December we had a lot) we suddenly got a ton!

Now it has been snowing like crazy! Take a look at my balcony: I looked up a few tips on driving in the snow, the first one is: Don't drive at all! I was trying to paste them, but I wasn't able to, so here's the link: http://www.weather.com/activities/driving/drivingsafety/drivingsafetytips/snow.html

I just sent out the newsletter, I hope you all enjoy it! And if you don't have it, send me an email and I'll send it to you... If you guys have any news that should go on there, let me know!

One good thing: I can still ride my bike!! Yes, I know I'm a bit crazy, but it works. At some point the brake froze, but not anymore. So, I biked today and made it safely to where I was going. That is another thing I recommend: Buy a bike! They are useful and help keep you in shape. :)

Besos!

Tip

Craig's List is your best friend in the whole-wide-world! :)

A friend of ours recommended we look for someone to fix our car on Craig's List instead of taking the car to the mechanic... We just saved more than US$100.00!

Partner's meeting

Hi!

Yesterday we had our first big meeting with the new officers (it was open to everyone - actually it would be great to have a lot of partners show up to this meetings). It was good to get together with everyone, share some food and talk about suggestions on events and just general stuff.

We had some good suggestions and if you check out the calendar, it is full of fun events for the up-coming months! :)

We also talked about helping our community by clicking box tops from cereals and stuff like that and donating them to schools. Megan will explain later, but basically you have to clip the boxes where you see this logo:

Another thing we talked about on the community was the Blue Door Charity Auction where you donate a piece of artwork and photography to be auctioned off. This year it will be on Friday, Feb. 12th. For more info, please email: bluedoorboard@umich.edu

Finally, for "housing", I have opened a discussion in the partners website for housing, you can check it out... The idea is to have partners that are graduating and partners that are looking for housing to "partner-up" and give each other tips. Also, there may be some good apartments out there that can be kept in the Ross community! :)

Ok, well, that is all for now... Let me know if you have any comments/suggestions on the newsletter, website & blog! :)
