Entry numero uno...Welcome to the Blog of Kelly Cross
Without further delay let me get us all on the same page...
Alright I arrived at Albright on August 23 at approximately 10:53 a.m. and this is when the fun began. About 60 upperclassman arrived on this day for POPS-Peer Orientation Persons. We basically welcome the freshman class. We move all their stuff into their rooms for them and lead them through the freshman orientation process.(which is 4 days) POPS are students who basically have a lot of energy and are willing to act like fools. We sing songs and dance-it's a grand ole time. So by the time POPs was over I was exhausted. But, there wasn't any time to recuperate because on Sunday we went to Dorney Park.(an amusement park close by) POPS get to go for free and the freshman who decide to go can go for $30-this includes admission and an all you can buffet! Booya to that! Well, Dorney was a wonderful time except when it was time to leave. Ryan, another POP, and I were left by the bus. We were told to go back to the entranceway and wait for some freshman who hadn't made it to the bus yet-so we went and after 10 minutes NO ONE showed up so I walked back to where the buses were to find that there were no buses. I was like alright it's ok...they probably just moved the buses closer to the entrance (I mean they can't leave POPs right? How could they forget us..there were only 8 of us on the trip) Well to make a long story short the buses left Ryan and me. So we called the head person and they had to turn the buses around and pick us up. Let me tell you, there is no feeling like when you're standing on the sidewalk and you see two buses coming toward you with EVERYONE staring at you and laughing. You definitely feel like a winner that's for sure. Ya it was a good time.
That concludes Orientation. Now POPS are completely over and we're all back to being normal college students. It is no longer acceptable to go into the Dining Hall singing a song about a Frog. Oh well...
My classes for this semester are quite difficult. I don't have one that I can slack off in. I'm taking Spanish 301, Sociological Stratification 262, Great Ages Theater 288, and Psychology 100. I'll get into classes next time I'm too tired right now. Tiempo hacer mi tarea...It's time to do my homework.
Adios for now and God Bless

this is Ryan and me on the way home from Dorney Park
