The homestretch

Today's insanely hot weather -- hey, if I'm wearing short sleeves in April, it's HOT -- was a foreshadowing of the summertime to come. I know, it's weird talking about summer when there are still days remaining in April.

But on the college calendar, summer comes well before actual summer. If you know what I mean.

In particular, these two weeks -- this week and next week -- are especially frenetic as the spring semester rushes to its conclusion. In no particular order, we've got:

--Penn Relays on Thursday and Friday
--Yale on Sunday
--Senior Awards Banquet on Sunday
--Returning student-athlete NCAA meeting next Wednesday -- no Vassar practice that day!
--Vassar meet on next Friday night -- always a fan favorite!
--MAAC Meet on next Saturday and Sunday at Rider.
--MAAC Awards Banquet
--Finals Week
--Postseason championships

Phew.

Mix in there some last-minute proofreading for last-minute students, the ongoing McCann Center construction, and on and on, and yeah ... it's a busy time.

But then, after finals week, suddenly it all gets very quiet. And we are into summer.

Stay tuned ...
