Looking at your LoboTrax and planning next semester’s courses has to be one of the most dismal experiences for UNM students. Escape LoboWeb for a few hours and check out this week’s freebies.
DIA DE LOS MUERTOS ART
ANY DAY BEFORE SUNDAY
Day of the Dead is still alive and well. Tap into your human mortality by viewing this art exhibition at the South Broadway Cultural Center at 1025 Broadway Blvd. S.E. The exhibition is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 5 p.m.
COFFEE
ANY DAY BEFORE NOV. 25
Waking up in the cold is especially hard these days, so make it a little better with a steaming pot of coffee. Visit Seattle’s Best Facebook page and request that a free sample be mailed to you — don’t forget to give them your address. They give you enough coffee to brew 10 cups of mind-fuel.
COMPOSTING
WEDNESDAY
If you want to decrease the weight of your trash, grow a garden and save the world all at the same time, then hit up this composting class held by the Bernalillo County Extension Master Composters. That’s right, they’re masters. The event runs from 10 to 11 a.m. in Room 4 at the Bear Canyon Senior Center at 4645 Pitt St. N.E. Call (505) 291-6211 to register.
CINNAMON CLUSTER
THURSDAY
Breakfast is vital to scholastic performance, said every mom who ever existed. If your kitchen is bare but you need to ace that test, head over to the Chick-fil-A Cottonwood location at 3801 Ellison Road N.W. between 6:30 and 10:30 a.m. The chain is handing out breakfast, and while it may not be the healthiest, it’s something to fill you up.
SUICIDE REMEMBRANCE
SATURDAY
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention hosts a conference to recognize International Survivors of Suicide Day. The event is an opportunity for those who have lost a loved one to suicide to connect with others who have also experienced that loss. Professional grief counselors will attend the event, which runs from 2:30 to 5 p.m. at the Desert Springs Church at 705 Osuna Road N.E.
VETERAN ART
