My Last Day

So I made it.

My summer in G'castle has come to an end.

The work projects I completed this summer: send applications to incoming HS seniors, compiling info on the 2012 DPU class, admissions virtual tour, creating this blog!, summer photoshoot, trolley tours during alumni weekend (look back at my post about it...with pictures!), decorating the office, and other misc. projects

Activities I have done this summer while in G'castle: movies as Ashley Cinema (for free!), golfing, trip to the rope swing, exploring our Nature Park, grilling out with friends, trips to Indy, Marvin's runs, Dairy Castle trips...

What a successful summer!

I'll start this back up again once I'm back at school. Until then -- I'm taking my summer break in the Chi!!

I'm going to miss my summer roomies...

The Olympics

Have you all been watching the Olympics??? THEY HAVE BEEN AMAZING. 1. The opening ceremony was siiiick. The people in boxes? amazing. 2. Michael Phelps is a fish. I'm almost sure of it. So far he has won 3 gold medals. jeez louise. 3. wtf is up with women's gymnastics? They have not been on their game recently - pick it up girls!

Check out NBCOlympics.com to find a video of Phelps winning his 2nd gold medal in the 4x100m relay.

he is a god.

On other related topics: The Green Bay Packers lost their first preseason game to the Bengals (20-17). Brett Favre is officially playing for the NY Jets. I'm sure he will have fun losing... or getting injured... which ever comes first. (just kidding (kind of). i will always love favre). But seriously Green Bay - lets get winning!

My last day is friday. sad day. you'll miss me, i know.

peace out homeslice.

When are students returning to campus?!? I miss them!

Alright. I'm not going to lie, G'castle is getting pretty lonely without many students on campus. As of today, there are a handful of students still working on campus (think 20-30 students)... and I'm itching for school to start again!! Luckily I have three awesome roommates to hang out with. I cannot wait for my friends to start arriving!

Things I want to do before I leave for the summer:
- go see The Dark Knight at Ashley Cinema (remember: Sun-Thurs all movies are free!)
- grill out with my roomies
- meet the new President Dr. Brian Casey (I hear he is really nice)

And I apologize for not writing lately... work is getting pretty hectic. We are sending out 28,000 applications to rising seniors. So if you are reading this and have just received an application to apply to DePauw, I sent that to you. You're welcome.

More to come (hopefully my life will get a little more exciting as the school year approaches/starts)
