A Typical Weekend at EC

This weekend was like most weekends I have experienced at Elmhurst College. On Friday my roommate and I told ourselves we would get an early start on our homework and of course we didn't. Instead we hung out on campus during the day. We went to the roost for lunch and sat outside on the patio because it was actually a nice day. Eventually we went back to our room and got cleaned up to go out for the night. We ended up going to a party with a lot of people from EC at a house off campus. I actually ran into captainM there too. It was a lot of fun there, but the night eventually came to an end and my roommate and I ended up back in our dorm, tired. On Saturday I finally got to sleep in after a long week of 8AM classes. When I woke up it was already time for me to get ready for work. So I showered up, ate something, and was off to work for my 8 hour work day Saturday. When I arrived back on campus Saturday night, the campus was dead, as usual. There aren't too many students walking around late at night on campus, even on the weekends. So the night ended with me going to sleep because I was too tired to go out. I capped off my weekend on Sunday doing homework for pretty much the whole day. So it really was a typical weekend at EC.

Sounds similar to a typical weekend for me too! So many people go home on weekends, leaving campus dead.

I agree. I try not to stay up here too much on the weekends because of how dead it is. There is some stuff to do downtown Elmhurst but after awhile I imagine it gets old. This weekend was the first weekend in awhile that I've actually stayed up on campus and it was uneventful. For some reason Saturdays are the worst homework wise. I feel like everyone says that they want to get a jump start on homework for the weekend and I don't know if it's just me but Saturday in my mind is my day to relax and I have a really hard time seriously starting homework until Sunday.
