Hi guys...since it's been a while since your lovely crew of Summer SOIs did any updating of the blog, I thought that I would go ahead and wish everyone a happy-though-late Fourth of July! The holiday was nice, although a little quiet on my end...I spent the day relaxing and then hung out with friends/co-workers that evening. Since this is the last year the rooftop of Chamberlin (our soon-to-be-demolished science building) is going to be open for firework-viewing, I thought I would definitely take advantage of it and go up to watch the fireworks display over the Rock River. The show was nice, pretty typical smallish-town style, but the company was great and the weather was great--it's been SO HOT here the last few days...if you're planning a campus visit, schedule it for some time before noon, otherwise I think you actually really run the risk of collapsing...
In other news, my best friend/roommate Zeva is coming up for tomorrow night, which I'm incredibly excited about! She was abroad in New Zealand last semester and I was gone in Ireland in the fall, so we only got to see each other briefly for like five hours when she picked me up from the airport in December. And there's another performance of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" which I think Travis mentioned in an earlier post...that's happening on Saturday at a favorite Beloit establishment, the Bop, great excuse to go downtown and order pitchers of Coors Light and listen to Phil sing great songs. So, I swear that NEXT WEEK I'm going to start in on my special project in earnest...
We're sorry to say goodbye to one of the greatest Admissions workers on the planet today...Michelle is leaving to be a camp counselor (this was known all along, she didn't just up and quit or anything) and we're going to miss her like mad. Hopefully she'll steer clear of any sturgeons which may be lurking on the UW-Parkside campus...
Which brings me to my next and final point: STURGEONS. They can grow 6-8 feet long and weigh up to 200 pounds...and they have a penchant for HURLING THEMSELVES ONTO BOATS AND JET-SKIS AND TAKING PEOPLE OUT. OH MY GOD. Love, Laura
