So my 6 suite-mates and I are all moved in, at long last! We spent some time and money on our decorations and it will really be worth it, given how nice the place looks :) Nothing fancy, but homey and comfortable for us. We're still waiting to see if we will get an 8th roommate. Jenn did a lot of work and planning but we all chipped in and brought cooking stuff and dishes and everything! It will be a good place to spend the semester....yes that's right, I finished my application for study abroad in Spain, and am only waiting to hear from API now!
In other news, the theater department/dance and fine arts picnic kicked off on Wednesday, and we got a lot of interested first-years as well as familiar faces to welcome back! We have a lot of dancers this year, which could make an interesting combo and possibly help bring some departments and events together.
We settled on a date for the annual 24-hour play festival as well! September 17-18th, which is New Student Family Day Weekend, will be 24 hours of theater madness and games, during which students write, direct, and act in plays and get used to the McCarthy Arts Center and have a great opportunity to try something out if they never have before! It is a perfect time for someone with no experience in acting to try it out (like I did last year!) and have fun! Posters and fliers will be up on campus the week before, so if you're interested in participating or just coming to watch the hilarity ensue, keep an eye out :)
Also coming up, as I mentioned before, is the Light the Night Walk that the Drama Club will be participating in for the first time this year to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. That is September 24th in Burlington, and whether you're a student and want to join the team or want to donate to the cause, please get involved! It's a fantastic way to take steps to cure cancer as well as be an active member of society, as I'm learning in my Politics class is very important to a functioning government. In any case, we're looking forward to those events and more!
