Hi-<\/p>\n
This time of year is very stressful, so be good to yourself.\u00a0 Remember to sleep, eat actual food (that doesn\u2019t come from vending machines), exercise (unless you\u2019re like me and exercise isn\u2019t part of your routine in which case this is probably a bad time to start), and use caffeine, energy drinks and alcohol in moderation.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Exam Breaks<\/strong>:<\/p>\n The Dean of Students Office staff has a tradition of \u00a0serving up carbs and greasy food during the reading period at Midnight Pancake Breakfast which will be held upstairs in the Hark on Thursday, December 8 from 10:30pm \u2013 midnight (and yes we get the inconsistency with the statement above).<\/p>\n De-Stress Chair Massage Breaks will take place on the first floor of the Hark from 11:30am-1:30pm on the following days:<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 December 6th<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 December 8th<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 December 13th<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 December 15th<\/sup><\/p>\n Show up early to sign up for a free ten-minute massage.<\/p>\n We will have snacks and blank holiday cards so you can send holiday cards to members of the military if you choose.<\/p>\n Exam Related Questions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n If you have a question about exam logistics or the exam software, contact the Registrar\u2019s Office (Pound 300).<\/p>\n registrar@law.harvard.edu<\/a> or 617-495-4612<\/p>\n if you have an exam problem related to an illness, or personal, family or medical emergency, contact Cat Collins in the Dean of Students Office (Pound 310) ccollins@law.harvard.edu<\/a> or 617-495-1880<\/p>\n Exam Tips<\/strong>:<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Exams at HLS are anonymous.

The urgent care number is 617-495-5711. Please have your doctor get in touch with Cat as soon as possible.<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you are sick and cannot get to Holyoke Center by yourself, you can call the Harvard University Police Department for a medical transport.

If you have seen the exam, the rule is that you have to finish it that day, so you will probably see a doctor, have a chance to rest, and then have to finish it later. If you get sick during a take-home exam, please call Cat and then go to UHS.\u00a0 The Dean of Students Office cannot make any adjustments after the fact, so please stop the exam if necessary.<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If there is an emergency (either personal or involving a family member), please call Cat as soon as possible.<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you are having other issues that might affect your ability to take your exam, please call or email Cat.<\/p>\n Security<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Just a reminder:\u00a0 please don\u2019t leave your computers and other personal items unattended.\u00a0 A quick check by some librarians today showed that there were nine laptops, along with a number of bags sitting all alone at study tables and carrels.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0There have been thefts in the library and elsewhere on campus and these often get worse as exams approach and people know that students are studying longer hours.<\/p>\n Hark Changes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Starting on December 5th the Gelato & Coffee bar will stay open until 8:00pm.<\/p>\n The Hark Box will close on December 9th.<\/p>\n Academic Support website<\/strong>:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.law.harvard.edu\/current\/student-services\/academic-support-services.html<\/a><\/p>\n Wellness website and resources<\/strong>:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.law.harvard.edu\/current\/student-services\/wellness\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Please be in touch with any concerns or questions. \u00a0Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi- This time of year is very stressful, so be good to yourself.\u00a0 Remember to sleep, eat actual food (that doesn\u2019t come from vending machines), exercise (unless you\u2019re like me and exercise isn\u2019t part of your routine in which case … Continue reading
