Week that was

First day of classes

Whether we like or not, break’s over and winter quarter officially began last week. Our hearts go out to the freshmen from warm parts of the world who were probably shocked to find snow welcoming them at the airport and the international students still fighting the jet lag.

Purple pride

Wildcat fans cheered on their team at three basketball games last week. Men’s basketball lost by one point to Illinois on Wednesday and Women’s basketball lost to Iowa by 8 points on Thursday, but won their game against Indiana by 8 points on Sunday. Go ‘Cats!

Summerfest

True to the stereotype that Northwestern students are perpetual over-achievers, some of us are already planning for summer. Last Thursday, University Career Services hosted Summerfest in Norris, providing information on everything from summer internships to cover letter reviews.

Rush

Creating both exciting and emotional moments, Panhellenic Recruitment began Jan. 5, jump-starting the week Jan. 3 and 4 with forums about sorority life. Recruitment ended Tuesday with the anxiously awaited Bid Night as the grand finale.

This week, NU students were NOT:

• Celebrating a Wildcat football victory at the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas
• Successfully maintaining their coffee addictions at Norbucks
• Marveling at how low textbook prices have become over the years
• Re-creating old Michelle Kwan skating routines on the Norris ice rink
• Not rushing
