My First Post!!

Hi everyone! My name is Lizzy and I'm a junior at DePauw University. I'm interning at DePauw over the summer with three of my friends. We have decided to keep blogs about our summer adventures - and this is my first post! Let me catch you up on life in Greencastle (or G'castle as I like to call it) so far...

I've been here four weeks now and I'm loving it! I must admit, I wasn't expecting to have a fun summer because very few students are here on campus. But we (the other interns and myself) are keeping ourselves very busy!!

So far, we have been going to weekly movies at Ashley Cinema. It's so nice to have the DePauw student discount over the summer -- admission is free Sun-Thurs and $1 Fri-Sat -- awesome! We have seen Indiana Jones, Kung Fu Panda and we're going to see The Hulk on Thursday. I usually don't see movies that often, but with such a nice price, how could I not see a movie every week?

This past weekend was Alumni Weekend. This is where we invite all DePauw Alumni back to campus to see how it has changed. And with tour guiding being a part of my job, I spent most of Thursday-Saturday on an old-fashioned trolley giving tours. It was so fun to hear the older alums tell stories about parties and traditions they had back in the day...they were a wild bunch!! haha!! Once alumni weekend was over, I went to the local community pool to relax with two girls I'm living with. After we were tired of tanning, the other interns (Amanda, Matt and Nate) along with the boys from the first floor of our duplex, let off some steam by driving to a rope swing about 10 minutes north of campus. It was so much fun!! I must admit, I have a terrible fear of heights, so I only went off the rope swing once. But it was so fun to see everyone else doing flips and fun tricks off the rope! There were some locals partying on a boat near by...is it legal to drink and drive a boat? I doubt it...

But now that the weekend has passed, it is time to get back to work.
Keep checking in for updates on my life in Greencastle. It's going to be a fun summer!
