Thriday

Hooray! It's Thriday!

Yesterday afternoon around 3 a group of us Honors Devils (and by a group I mean 2) plus our recruiting director and one of our other BHC staff members headed up to Flagstaff to do an Evening with ASU, which is basically where we bring a sort of ASU orietntation program to the students in their hometown so they don't have to come down to Phoenix. It was so much fun. Some of the greatest quotations from the evening:

Lexi, while she, Adrienne and I are setting up tables for the Resource Fair:
Lexi: Oooooo look at the first little brochure on the inside of this viewbook: "No Tolerance Cheating Policy."
Me: Gee, that's the FIRST thing we want to impress on new students.
Lexi: I know, seriously! (in low, menancing voice with bugged-out eyes) NO CHEAAAAAAAAAATINNNGGG!!

In response to a question during the student panel session:
Student: Is the honors college hard?
Me: Ummmmm...is it harder? Well, yeah, I'm not going to lie to you, it's harder. Not holy-crap-I-want-to-kill-myself harder, but it's harder.

Another question in student panel:
Mother: Are the students in the honors college....you know....nerds?
Adrienne: Well, to give you an idea, we don't spend our weekends playing chess.

After student panel:
Adrienne: Matt, we rock so seriously hard!

We seriously do rock seriously hard.

I've been doing a lot of recruiting stuff for the college of liberal arts recently...mostly because they pay ridiculously well, i mean seriously, i got $400 bucks plus put up in a hotel and paid for travel to talk to people for 2 hours and then go to a game and see my boyfriend...anyway, i'd totally forgotton what its like to be an incoming freshman. and some of the stuff they ask..."will only food in certain dining centers make you fat?" "are there lots of cute boys here?" "will my daughter get the individual attention she needs to succeed?" "what classes do you take to major in biology? [why are you at the libarts recruitment event??]"
and tomorrow i get to do a photoshoot for a new college of liberal arts brochure! woo hoo...seriously, i just discovered where all the tuition money that DOESN'T get thrown to athletics goes...
