Andrew's Blog: Freshman Edition

Okay, so it FINALLY sunk in today, that, NOT ONLY am I no longer a freshman, but now I HAVE GROUPIES!!!!! I LOVE BEING A POP!!!!! This is just so awesome! I'm making an actual IMPACT on the lives and times of the future of Albright. It's seriously amazing, though, b/c I never quite realized that the entire feeling of community and family found at Albright is almost entirely based on the orientations period. These budding young minds are left to our devices, and we're left to mold their talents and abilities into something beneficial for the whole. In the end it comes down to what we each desire and what we each, as individuals, are willing and driven to accomplish, but it's that group dynamic that really brings about something SOOOOO much bigger. I'm certain that this will be a year to remember, not only for me, but for all of my groupies and the other over 500 new members of the Albright College family. I'm mentally and physically EXHAUSTED, but it's worth it to know that I could be one of the many, like the many who've come before me, to ease the transition and give some nervous, unsure students the serenity to make all that they have to make happen HAPPEN! WHOOOOOO!!!! I'm on SUCH a high... but I'm also REALLY beat, so I'm feelin' NAPTIME ;o) MUCH LOVE!

It is SOOOOOO AMAZING to be back at the 'bright! How I've MISSED my home away from home :o( It's just AWESOME as all of my Albright crew slowly trickles in from break to see all of their bright and smiling faces again!

Right now all of the POPs are deep in training and eagerly awaiting the arrival of all of our newest Albright brothers and sisters tomorrow!!!! It's a grand time had by all as we practice our old chants and add in some new ones. I have a new roomie this year who'll be in tomorrow, which is VERY exciting. He's actually a friend from home, and a theatre buddy, so it'll be really cool to have that bit of home so close, PLUS, one of my other friends from home who's decided to call Albright THEIR new home-away-from-home! (Did that confuse the heck out of anybody else??? ;o)

I bought my books yesterday, so now I'm itching to crack them open and see what the year has in store! The new major's English and journalism, which is just REALLY exciting! I'm pretty certain now that there's teaching in my future, probably at my old alma mater, but you never know! Well, it's time to go have dinner w/ the President. Good ol' Lex O. McMillian III was going to have us all over to his place, but due to impending weather conditions, I'm setting out to the Mezzanine for our picnic feast! P-O-P-S!!!!!! *clap,clap, clapclapclap!*MUCH LOVE! ;o)
