Fall break is finally here at Doane, which marks a couple of things: the end of eight-week courses, midterms and for some people, nothing changes at all because they don’t get a fall break.
“For fall break I have to stay on campus for cross country practice and our meet that Saturday. I am hoping to be able to make it home for a day or two to see my new puppy if our practice and meet schedule allow it,” sophomore Logan Brooks said.
Fall break is the first major break in the Doane academic school year. The next break is the Thanksgiving break in late November followed by winter break, which marks the end of the semester and the transition into the spring semester.
The fall break is a good way for students to get home and see their families, or it can be the time for students to really be invested in their sport and spend this time getting more dedicated to that sport.
And for faculty members, it can be the first time all semester that they can go and do the things that they want to do.
“I am traveling to do some rock (sport) climbing with some friends of mine at Red Rocks. That climbing area is outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. Hopefully, I am going to successfully lead some of my target routes. These are all graded for difficulty in the 5.10 to 5.11 range,” Professor Dr. Mark Orsag said.
The rock-climbing difficulty rating provided by Dr. Orsag indicates that the course he is going on is going to be difficult, as the rating ranges from 5 to 5.15C.
