<p>Even finals week at Rice is fun! As I speak, Hogwarts "study break" is happening. Every night this week is a different study break for a couple of hours. Tonight's event was (as I understand it) the President's choice, wherein he made his appearance as Harry Potter.</p>
<p>Lots of goodies and fun things going on for a needed stress relief before finals begin tomorrow.</p>
<p>Rice is a really cool place to go to school!</p>

<p>I went to the study break and it was awesome! There was a Harry Potter Photo Booth, “cauldron cakes” (cinnamon rolls), butterbeer, and lots of other goodies. Leebron was dressed up like Harry and Dean Hutch was dressed up like Dumbledore while his wife was Mrs. McGonagall. I took pictures with all of them (: There are also multiple study breaks every night and all of them are very fun! I was pleasantly surprised by the support I received around finals.</p>
<p>My favorite part was the HP Trivia that went down at pub. It was so much fun, and it was another moment where I was just hit by this huge sense of community. Every group was brilliant and knew their trivia. It was just a really nice affirmation that I was a the right school with people who shared the same nerdy interests.</p>
