Winter Study for the 2005-2006 school year begins on '''Tuesday, January 3rd''' and ends on '''Thursday, January 26th'''. (Spring classes don't start until the following Wednesday, February 2nd.)

==Outside of Class==

You have a lot more free time during Winter Study because you're only taking one so-called class. Keep yourself busy; idle hands are the devil's tools, right?

Get out side and play in the snow. If you don't you're pathetic. Go learn to ski or build snow people. You have a chance to enjoy winter in full at this time. Take advantage or you will turn into a white and pasty whale.

The [[Free University]] is a collection of classes and activities taught and run entirely by students on any number of interesting things.

[[KAOS: Killing as Organized Sport]] is about paranoia, showering with a fake gun nearby and never sleeping in the same place twice. It's also totally awesome.

The [[Williams Outing Club]] sponsors classes for many outdoor winter activities, such as sledding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, and also organizes rides to and lessons at downhill skiing mountains (primarily Jiminy Peak, no?). You pay a $10 bus fee for the regular classes and then go play in the snow for a couple of hours a few times a week, learning how to do the skill better, and in the case of sledding they even give you your very own sled that you get to keep. The downhill skiing is more expensive, but can include lessons and equipment rentals as well as transportation.

[[Broomball]] is like ice hockey, but with shoes instead of skates, "brooms" instead of sticks, and a ball instead of a puck. So, essentially, all it has in common with ice hockey is the ice.

It is a little-known fact that the main purpose of Winter Study is to [http://www.ephblog.com/archives/001491.html fall in love].

No, falling in love with [[Media:Perl-crash-course.pdf|Perl]], or any other computer language for that matter, does not count. But Winter Study provides just about the right amount of time to do just that.
