Bring on the weekend....

I hope everyone had a great 3rd week! Time for Week 4 already! I know, I know, time needs to slow down, but that doesn't look so promising. I remember being in high school and time would just go by so slow as I waited for the bell to ring, and now that I'm out, time has just been passing me by! It's hard to keep up!!

I was surfing my way through the Berkeley page and I came across Summer Concerts that are being sponsored by Berkeley College. I want to take the time to fill everyone in with some dates and locations! This is pretty cool especially if you are looking for something to do.

I noticed many of us have added Berkeley on facebook, myspace, and twitter! How does everyone feel about this? In my opinion, I think it's such a great idea! We can meet new people, talk about our experiences, and it's a great recruitment tool! If you have yet to become a friend of Berkeley on any of these sites, visit the main Berkeley page and you will see all of the links you need to direct yourselves to those sites! http://www.berkeleycollege.edu/


Enjoy your weekend and we will catch up next week! Remember that Monday starts registration for the Fall Quarter! The schedules are put up so you can start picking out classes, days, and times!!! Don't forget to do this right away before you miss out on a class you need and want to take that is being offered!!!
