5. Study break: Milkshakes
Monday 06/09/2008 at 9:00pm
CA Contact: Nate (nan4@stanford.edu)

On January 1st, 2008, when I woke up to the radio, I was pleasantly
surprised by the dulcet tones of Kelis and her popular song,
"Milkshake."  I didn't know what this "yard" she was referring to was
but I knew that I had to get there.  So I did the only reasonable
thing I could think of, I decided to drink as many milkshakes as I
could as I searched for the "yard."  I'm currently sitting at 2.6
milkshakes per week and I can feel that every one I drink brings me
closer.  Come join me in my quest.  I can teach you, and I won't
charge.  You'll be pleasantly surprised.  It's better than studying.

Tuesday 06/10/2008 at 9:00pm
CA Contact: Stephen (sprussel@stanford.edu)

Come to the last study break of the year and eat some of the best
cookies on the planet!  This was one of the most popular study breaks
last quarter and we're bringing it back with a vengeance.  Whether
you're all done with finals and just rewarding your self for your
efforts or you've still got one left and you're eating to dull the
pain, hope to see you there!
