Even though the semester is winding down at a very rapid pace, we are still making time to have a little fun. Now that spring is approaching, everyone's getting a little antsy to be done with school. With less than 5 weeks of school left, the stress is beginning to increase at an exponential rate…but here at IRE, we still make time for fun. Everyone has lots of work to do; learning all their competencies and finishing project work. Now that the sun is shining and the days are longer, there will plenty of fun outside, whether it be football games, soccer games or frisbee. Everyone can take a breather for an hour or two. We still continue to have our lunch speakers each week to give us valuable insight into working life and give us their stories of experience. Next week, some people will be going to the Society of Mining Engineers conference to learn about the mining industry that we are apart of and are funded by. Also, next week, IRE will be making the spring trip down to Target Field to watch the Twins take on the Kansas City Royals. The following week, stress will be pretty high with us taking the FE exam (only practice) on Thursday…but then we get a few days off to spend with friends, family…and lots of good food for Easter. After we come back from Easter "break," it's all about finals. To help the stress with those last 2 weeks, IRE will be going out for a round of golf and will hopefully be having a grill out. As Tyler stated below, crunch time is upon us.
Sprinkled in the last few weeks will also be some volunteering opportunities. With the snow melting, IRE has been keeping in contact with the city of Fargo. We are ready and willing to go help sandbag and do what they need to help protect the city. IRE has also adopted a portion of highway 53, so we will be taking time to go clean up the highway. And to help a little more locally, we will be doing one more campus clean up for Mesabi Community College.
Needless to say, the next few weeks are going to busy ones.
