Game Time
Well it has come to that time again =) I'm back at school working as an R.A. this year (which I plan on explaining in more depth in a later post) along with my other jobs that I had last year. Things look like they're going to be exceptionally busy.
Anywho, enough about all that! Let me tell you what I was doing this weekend. The freshman class of 2013 rolled into town on Friday and got all moved in, which in turn comes with lots of awesome events for Autumn Term. Autumn Term is Eckerd's version of an orientation, its biggest difference being that it lasts three weeks long. Believe me, those three weeks will be the greatest time of your life and it has already started off strong for the newcomers.
On Sunday the Waterfront program had an open-house to get everyone down and inform them about all of the services they offer. The best way to get college students to turnout in force for an event is...you guessed it, feed them. Lots of free snacks and dinner options available, as well as trips out into the bay on EC-SAR Rescue 5 (I'll get a blog up about EC-SAR soon too, have no fear!), one of our Colgates (28 foot sailboat), and the beachcat (a larger and slower vessel than the other two, pictured in the center photo below. It has the blue top on it). Everything was awesome, students showed up and went out on the boats, got sail certified, got their swim tests done, and met one another. The experience was unforgettable for me because I spent a little over two hours out on the water trying out some of the stuff that I was unfamiliar with. I snagged a few pictures from the event, which you can see below.
Also, this is a picture that I snapped at one of our first group meetings. This is the bunch that lives in the complex's near me, roughly 120 people in attendance at this get together (some, obviously, not pictured).
This is what Eckerd is all about
