A day of little ones everywhere! This past weekend there were lots of little children all over Capital’s campus as University Programming invited the students to bring their siblings to campus for the weekend in an annual event called Kids ‘n Sibs. It was fun to see the excitement on the faces of all the siblings because they got to “be a college kid” for a weekend with their older brother, sister, cousin, aunt, or uncle. The weekend consisted of many fun things for the participants to choose from. Events like the “Showoff Show” on Friday night, side trips that included Easton, Gameworks, Cosi, The Art Museum, or the Capital basketball game, and a showing of the awkwardly popular “High School Musical 2” which was really fun to hear how many of the Capital students actually knew the songs by heart (never seen either one until Saturday…that was an experience). After the movie there was an after party where food was available along with music for everyone to hang out and have a good time, and then the dreaded day came when everyone had to say goodbye to one another and things returned to normal on campus.
But, the normality did not last for long because it was Super Bowl Sunday and it felt like everyone that was watching the game was watching to see if New England would lose (I was one of those people). Not only did everyone get to see a good game, they also got to enjoy some of the awesome commercials that companies spend millions and millions of dollars on. I think my favorite commercial is between two; the Pepsi Max commercial with Chris Kattan or the Sobe “Thrillicious” water with the lizards dancing Michael Jackson’s famous Thriller dance. Both were great entertainment in my opinion.
But now Monday has come and classes begin again; more reading, writing, and studying to be done until this weekend when Sigma Alpha Beta and the other fraternities and sororities find out how many people are interested in joining their organization. This Friday is bid acceptance day, which is the day the people who are trying to decide what organization they would like to be a part of have to decide, and then they get to enjoy the weekend with the people from that organization before New Member Education begins. So, I am just doing everything that needs to be done for the week to make it to the weekend. Oh man, only four more days!!! (But who’s counting?)
