I get caught up in these things.)<\/p>\n<p>Thursday, January 17<\/p>\n<p><em>Information overload, Camosun style<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Wondering about the college\u2019s 150-plus programs, but don\u2019t know where to start? Or, alternately, willing to pose as a prospective Camosun student for two hours in the everlasting quest for free coffee and carrot sticks? Look no further than Camosun\u2019s college-wide info session, happening at both campuses from 5:30\u20138 pm. Drop in on any program and see what\u2019s going on. Our money\u2019s on the Arts and Science drop-in at Lansdowne (6\u20137 pm in Fisher 244) but whatever yer bag is, there\u2019ll be something to check out. Go to camosun.ca\/learn\/infosessions for more info.<\/p>\n<p>Monday, January 21<\/p>\n<p><em>The day that you do not want to forget<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Head down to the your friendly neighbourhood student society office before 2:16 am today (okay, these times are definitely not accurate; any time is fine) to opt out of the student health and dental plan if you already have coverage elsewhere, like, say, a parent\u2019s or spouse\u2019s plan. There\u2019s really no good reason on Earth to pay for a health plan when you don\u2019t have to, so don\u2019t forget to pop by before January 21 during normal office hours (although showing up at 2:16 am would be pretty funny) to get yourself off the plan and save a couple hundred clams. Call 250\u2013370\u20133696 for more info, or to leave a hilarious message at 2:16 am where you scream, \u201cIt\u2019s 2:16 am, why aren\u2019t you theeeeeeeerrrrrrre?!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Monday, January 21<\/p>\n<p><em>Camosun FarmBox pickup<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Come grab your veggie and organic goodies today from Camosun\u2019s own little farm (so tempted to sing \u201cOl\u2019 Camosun\u2019s Farm\u201d right now\u2026 okay, just did). Pre-ordered boxes will be available to pick up from 12\u20133 pm in the Fisher building lobby at Lansdowne and the Campus Centre lobby at Interurban.
