Harvard Today: September 10, 2015

UPDATED: September 10, 2015, at 12:15 p.m.

Happy Thursday, Harvard! Is it still shopping week? Are study cards due? When do sections start? Do we finally need to do our readings? The questions never end, but study cards are due today before midnight, so get those advising holds lifted and enroll in your classes! And if you’ve been using shopping week as an excuse for not having done your work, be glad you’re not in a language class that already has quizzes on top of homework. Whether your classes are getting serious already or not, we wish you the best in taking on the end of this (almost) full week.

IN THE ATMOSPHERE
