Working Hard & Playing Hard

09/10/2009

Hello friends!

How was your second week of school? Are you getting adjusted to your school schedule? I'm actually having a little difficulty getting back into my groove. Being gone from school for the entire summer has set me back in my schedule! I'm having a terrible time trying to get back into a sleep and study pattern! AHH! I've got to work on that....

By the way, I forgot to mention my FYS class that I am peer mentoring this semester! I have to say that Dr. Lundy & I have a great group of students! They are very smart, insightful, and excited to be here at IU East! For their first day of class, I made them a little care packet. Each packet contained one highlighter, one packet of post-it notes, one pen, one pencil, one packet of flags, 2 pieces of chocolate, 2 pieces of Starbursts, and Dr. Lundy's & my contact information. I think they enjoyed their packet! At least I hope the did anyway! ;)

In other news, I saw many students having fun at the Back with the Pack events this week. I think that everyone involved with these events really outdid themselves this year! I have never seen so many smiles of students faces since the end of the spring semester! Tuesday we had free ice cream from Ritter's! Yummy! It's been a while since I've had any Ritter's. On Wednesday was the cookout & student organizations fair. I did notice lots of students checking out the different clubs on campus! That's awesome! Also, lots of students had fun trying to dunk different people from the faculty & staff. I tried to dunk them, but I just don't have the greatest arm! Thursday was the movie in the Quad. I could not attend this event because of a pet sitting commitment, but I'm sure those who went had a great time! Here's a video of highlights from Wednesday's festivities...

Wasn't that fun! I wanted to join in on the water slide, but I forgot a change of clothes! OOPS! =/

Anyway, I hope that everyone enjoys the weekend. It's supposed to be beautiful! We might as well enjoy this wonderful weather before it gets cold, nasty, WHITE!

Take care Red Wolves!

HOWL!
