My exam prep week is end of APr 26th....

Exam week is 1st week of May and ends on whatever that Friday is...3rd, maybe.

So, it really isn't that big of a deal. I'd judt not prefer to do retreat and then go take 4 exams! My mind frame my be off...but everything is workable.

Seems May is looking the best?! I'm willing to work around things and talk to professors if need be.

We could just hold revision classes for those studying!!!!!!!!!!!! We could make them get up at 8am, start revision at 9 for two hours!!!! what do y'all think!!!! :)

If it is going to get really hot in later May, I would prefer April, it was lovely to sit outside and be warm, but not be fried!! But hey! If there is a retreat that is the great thing and it will always clash with something and I will try very hard to be there. Matt, getting us to choose dates is still like herding cats (or yeti!!) I remember there being a lot of discussion last year, without everyone being able to make the date proposed, but I am not sure if, in the end, people could not come that wanted to?I think, in the end, people somehow do make it because it is a priority.

...oh and I sat finals the week after the retreat - it was fine, and I did manage to study while i was in Stillwater and on the plane to and from OKC, but I know that may not be true for everyone.

OK... I will make the 17th work if need be. However, I prefer Option 1 or Option 4.

I am sorry to post so many posts on this topic.

Well I have finals in April but my classes are in the middle of the week so I do have the weekend free. It is just hard because that is my study time so if you all don't mind me taking a study break in the morning I can do anything but mothers day. I like to spend it with my Mommys

Hey, we can help you study! Depending on the topic there is such a wide variety of backgrounds present someone should be able to quiz you !

Agreed...last year was hard. I chose to leave early as to not miss my daughters first communion. We do have to think of the group as a whole and sacrifice if the retreat is a priority to us. For me my daughters first communion was my priority so I chose that.

Mother's Day is out for me too...I would chose not to attend if it fell on Mothers Day weekend.

I am up for any option but 4 lol! May is 100 % Free for me.

What is option 4 again?

Option 4 is April

Option 3 works best for me since I have finals the first week in May and my son's birthday. :)

Well, it seems like people can make option 3 work one way or another...

what is option 3?

Oh judddddyyyyyyy!!! It is the weekend after Mother's day (US), 17th-20th May. I think you said it was not a good weekend for you...or at least your least favourite option.

oh I can do that one. At least right now, the kids schedule isn't out yet, but it will have to work if I want to come. No first communions or graduations to worry about for my kids so it should work fine!

I am down with any time in may as long as it is not mothers day weekend.
