Hello everybody! If you’ve suffered through a tough midterm week like me, then you also probably joined the Pajama Party at MOT. The Middle of Term party was fun for all, featuring glow sticks, pizza, and engineering students dressed for bedtime. Why pajamas? Why not! The party also featured a visit from the TOOL, and the re-birth of the P**5 banner! The P**5 directors created a new banner to display the P**5 points of each class. Currently, 2B Mech is in the lead, followed by 3A Nano. A big thanks goes to the P**5 directors for reinstating this tradition!

Looking ahead, there are a number of events lined up now that midterms are over. Cardboard Boat Racing is set for Friday – yep, they let us use the PAC again. Be sure to bring a bathing suit unless you believe you have god-like boat designing abilities. Still, Cardboard Boat Racing is tons of fun and I will be going for sure! As well, on Tuesday, July 2, EngSoc will be hosting a Microsoft Excel workshop, to help you improve your efficiency in Excel. Laser Tag is scheduled for Wednesday the 3rd and the Math vs. Engineering soccer tournament is Friday the 5th. Come out and enjoy some pickup soccer and prove that Engineers can teach Math something about soccer. Finally, Semi-Formal is on Saturday, July 6. The theme is The Great Gatsby, so sport your best 1920’s attire!

Events aside, have you ever explored the EngSoc website to see everything that EngSoc has to offer? Under the “Services” section, you can find the exam bank, scholarship bank, and work term report bank. If you submit your work, you will be awarded P**5 points too. I will be sending out a call for outstanding work term reports in the near future to try to keep the database up to date.

Lastly, I’d like to remind everyone that if you have an event idea or something you’d like to see happen, contact me at vpinternal.a@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca and I’ll see if EngSoc can help you make it happen. We’re always open to new events that can help engineering students either academically or socially. Getting involved is fun and rewarding – you help others while developing management skills, among others.

Have fun in the second half of the term!
