Yesterday was fabulous. Orientation is SO exciting; I'm so glad I get to be a part of it for Bronco Bash!!! Telling all of the freshmen about how great it is to go to Bronco Bash is really fun, especially since they don't yet know how great it is to go to Western in the first place. And then selling t-shirts is like a competition, and I know that once we get the knack of it, we'll get better and better! (80 shirts in one day WILL happen! I wonder how many we sold yesterday...I had to leave early to go to work at the Writing Center.)
But actually my day yesterday started waayyyyyyy earlier than orientation, since I kind of woke up when Allie woke up at 5:30, and that was after waking up a few other times and not sleeping well. Oh well, I definitely caught up my sleep last night! I watched the premiere of Hell's Kitchen before my office hours started yesterday, so hopefully I can keep caught up with it. I do love my food shows! I tried to watch the premiere of The Next Food Network Star, but it's not posted online. We'll see if I catch it on TV (I'm sure at some point...)
But yeah, AFTER orientation I did go to the Writing Center, but no appointments. There was confusion about evening appointments, since Obama came yesterday to campus to be the speaker for Kalamazoo Central's graduation. They won a national video competition (it's on youtube, check it OUT!), and of course everything was pretty busy with traffic, security, etc. And then the first day of freshmen orientation at the same time... It worked out, though, I helped pass out Freezee pops to the freshmen for awhile because that's what the Writing Center helps to do every summer. Then I met up with Aunt Cheri and we headed home (or at least me home for the week!). Rory is going to be jealous, but when I got a snack yesterday, I ate freshly cut PINEAPPLE! It was goooood! (But Allie finished it off, so don't blame me that I didn't save you any! Haha, it sounds like I'm talking about my alter ego self.)
I was soooo tired yesterday evening after not sleeping well the night before. I wanted to nap but decided that if I did, I wouldn't have slept well last night, so I just fought the sleep and stayed awake. I worked on my thesis a bit and then went to help Aunt Cheri cook up a delicious chicken stirfry with brown rice. It had asparagus, red onion, red pepper, carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms! Absolutely yummy! I accidentally made WAY too much rice, though...oops. Then we had DESSERT of strawberry shortcake--homemade biscuits, fresh crushed strawberries and Cool Whip! YUM! But let's just say, I was definitely sleepy for bed not too long after dinner!
Oh yeah and we watched the President speak at that graduation ceremony on TV/online. The speech was actually really good and impressive, but I was pretty annoyed at the dumb kid snoozing right behind him!!! That's what they get for letting an underclassman sit RIGHT BEHIND THE PRESIDENT instead of graduating seniors. It's all over now, though, and seemed to go smoothly, other than that. I told Zach about it over texting, and he said he'd check it out--I mean, c'mon, MATT LAUER was in Kalamazoo yesterday. It was kind of a big deal, ya know?!
Anyway, this morning I've been chilling in the SOC...by myself mostly. Chatted with Chris Sligh and Amy a little bit this morning...we've got the beach on our minds...mmmmm! Orientation to begin again soon and then my extra-special meeting with Dr. Malott later. Hopefully I'll be able to make a lot more progress with my thesis soon!
And that's that. I'm going to go think up something productive to do in the next few minutes...wish me luck!!!
