Practice Schedule for Buiding C

Due to recent events, we must enforce a stricter practicing schedule in rooms C216, C218, and C225. We realize this places an inconvenience on you, but we strongly urge you to abide by these procedures. If not, the lab rooms may be locked and no one will get the privilege of practicing outside of lab times. Please take personal responsibility to abide by these rules and also encourage others to take responsibility. The procedures will take effect starting today, September 3.

For any times outside of scheduled lab times in all 3 rooms, we will use the following assignments to determine priority:

Odd weeks (weeks 1, 3, 5, etc.)

     Lanes 1-4: 2017

     Lanes 5-8: 2016

Even weeks (weeks 2, 4, 6, etc.)

     Lanes 1-4: 2016

     Lanes 5-8: 2017

Lane 9: 2015 (every week)

If a lane is empty, you can jump in and practice, but the designated class for that week has priority.

Each lane will have a sign-in sheet. Please always sign-in and out on the appropriate sign-in sheet when you are practicing.

Each lane in C216 will have 1 set of drops. Rooms C218 and C225 will each have 1 set of drops on the podium. Make sure the drops remain in the appropriate lane or room that they originally came from. If taken out, return them! If drops go missing, we will have to enforce stricter rules, which is inconvenient for everyone. Don’t be inconsiderate.

If the drops run low, please email Dr. Lu. If any equipment needs repair, please fill out a Repair Request Form (which can be found in each of the labs) and place it in the drop-off box on the podium or give to your lab professor. We have to know when something is in need of repair so that things can get fixed quickly and practice time won’t be impaired.

Please clean up after yourselves, throw away all your trash, try to keep the lab as tidy as possible, and cover & turn off all equipment before you leave. Please be considerate of everyone else who is also using the lab!

When the maintenance crew does their rounds, please take a break from practicing and let them perform their job. When they are done, you can resume practicing. Please do not hinder them or tell them to come back later.

Thank you for taking the time to read this email. We know that this may be hard to adjust to at first, but these rules have been implemented with our student needs and interests at heart. We hope that these rules will make practice time more fair and help keep the rooms fully-equipped and in better working condition for all of us. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

Sincerely,

Tiffany Chen, SA Board President

Meet the Cabinet!

To help you get to know us a little better, the historians decided to have the cabinet pick a random question to answer. Here were their choices:

Q. What is one goal you'd like to accomplish during your lifetime?

Q. If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would you get?

Q. Who is your hero?

Q. If you could visit any place in the world where would you choose to go and why?

Q. What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?

Q. What did you want to be when you were little?

And here's what our cabinet members...including ourselves had to say...

\

Miss President Elaine

Q. What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?

Elaine: "Alligator Tail and Kangaroo kabobs!! Alligator was great but the kangaroo was way too tough for me."

VPs: Miss Tiffany and Miss Sarah

Q. Who is your hero?

Tiffany: "My family members are my heroes."

Q.What is one goal you'd like to accomplish during your lifetime?

Sarah: "I would like to fill my passport (20pages, 10 years before expiration...that means 2 out of the country trips a year)" 

Secretaries: Miss Olave and Miss Jaymie

Q. What's the weirdest thing you've ever eating?

Olave: "I am weird and enjoy eating random things. From jellyfish, to grasshoppers, to ox tongue and tail, to ant eggs... However, the weirdest was bull testes... NEVER again. Contact me for further information on my adventurous culinary experiences lol"

Q. If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would you get? 

Jaymie: "Ice cream, hands down. I have a major sweet tooth. :) "  

Treasurer: Miss Christina

Q. What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? 

Chistina: Hamsters treats. "My friend had a hamster, and she would feed it these hamster berry treats that smelled EXACTLY like Cap'n Crunch Berries, so I tried one to see if it would taste like the cereal. It did not."

Historians: Miss Liz and Miss Coree

Q. Who is your hero?

Liz: "J. K. Rowling! I feel as though her books shaped me when I was growing up. And besides being a literary genius, she's such an inspiring philanthropist!" 

Q. What did you want to be when you were little?

Coree: "When I was really young I wanted to be a garbage truck driver. I'd wait in bed listening for the truck and race to my bedroom window to catch the garbage truck come by our house. I thought it was the coolest thing ever! Who knows...my dreams can still come true..."

Here are a couple reminders for this week:

1. OHP After Hours Reviews - take advantage of all the tutoring available!! OHP is by far our most difficult course this quarter so start practicing early… but please don’t neglect your other classes either :)

• Monday - 7pm

• Tuesday - 6pm
• Wednesday - 7pm
• Thursday - 6pm
• Friday  - 5pm
• Saturday - 6:30pm
• Sunday - 3pm

Dr. Lu has requested that tutees arrive within the first 30 minutes of After Hours.

2. Ocular Physio Review - Tutors are also available every Friday from 6-7pm in Room A103!

3. Lab for Ophthalmic Optics begins this week.

4. Please be respectful of our professors and arrive to class ON TIME, lecture BEGINS on the hour (not five minutes after), and it is very disruptive to the lecturer and other classmates if you are scurrying to your seat after class has begun. New year, new you, make it happen people.

5. In an attempt to get more organized this year, please utilize our class DropBox to centralize all of our class study guides.

DropBox User: scco2017@gmail.com

Password: 2017scco

The DropBox was created by our very own Lianna last year and it hasn’t been used since, thanks Lianna!!!

6. Coree and Liz will be taking a few photos during labs this week, so be extra photogenic this week.  (;D jk you guys are always photogenic!)

Coming up this week… enjoy our last exam-less week!

Monday 8/25
Tuesday 8/26
Wednesday 8/27
Thursday 8/28	SVOSH General Meeting (7-9pm)
Friday 8/29	SOS Fiesta!! (6-9pm)

Sincerely, your 2017 Class Cabinet

Welcome Back BBQ

Today we had our Welcome Back BBQ where we got to catch up with upperclassmen, meet first years, and mingle with professors & administration! Thanks SA Board for putting on a great spread and of course the annual pie eating contest! Check out the slideshow here!

Mentor Mentee Meet & Greet!

This week we had our Mentor Mentee BBQ where we got to meet our awesome new mentees and play a hilarious version of "speed dating" (Thanks class mom Jenn Cordell!)

Take a look at our slideshow here!

Welcome Back EYEnsteins!

We hope you all had a summer jam packed with fun, happy times! 

Ready for second year to start?? (Me neither, it’s ok, but we’re all here for each other right!? ;D lol). Enough of all those EYEvenger’s horror stories of second year right? WE GOT THIS. Let’s start this year strong and live up to our namesake! 

Your historians, Coree and Liz, are in charge of birthdays and we thought we would change it up a little… Besides the balloon, we are going to put a birthday card on the bulletin board in the back for people to sign if they’d like to. :D

In case you missed it in one of the emails, here are the google calendar links for the lecture and lab calendars. Also! If you get stuck adding these calendars to your iPhone go to this link here: https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect (and hopefully this works similarly for non-iPhone users!) You just need to click the check boxes for the lecture calendar and your lab calendar and save. 

And what you’ve all been waiting for--the exam schedule! lol
