So….the first summer Orientation was this past Thursday and Friday.  Being the awesome OL that I am, my small group partner and I decided to take our group to a place full of history and tradition, a place that shows the power of the students, and a place that is entirely concrete.  I refer to, of course, the Student Ampitheatre next to the Fine Arts Center.  Now, the Ampitheatre is entirely concrete with two sets of steep stairs leading to the ground.  I am not a clumsy person and have never had a problem with stairs.  So, I should have no trouble walking down them.  Oh, just wait.

I am laughing and talking and joking with my group of students and walking down the stairs at the same time.  (Yes, I can walk and talk at the same time.  Doing all of that and chewing gum…more difficult)  As I reach the last 2 stairs, I trip and tumble down to the ground, landing on my knees and skinning my left toe as I gracefully descend.  Have you ever heard 25 people try to supress uncontrollable laughter? I have.  But, I didn’t care.  My foot hurt too badly. 

I performed some minor first aid, and am happy to say that I am now the only person I know with nine toes.

Haha. Gotcha.  But, when coming to Orientation, in addition to bringing Extra-Long sheets, a blanket, and a pillow for your stay in Johnson Village, it probably wouldn’t hurt to bring a couple of band-aids.

See y’all soon! “Faciemus-We shall Achieve!”
