KCEH BBQ (After College House Day)

Photos from KCEH's College House Day

College house day. The Stwing Machine dominated the tug-of-war, does anyone know the final standings? Well, whatever, PIH definitly performed best in its weight class. :) We weren't as ultra-competitive as the pyramid team above and we didn't do interpretive ballet like KC2 but we did have our own awesome moments.

You probably saw me running around like crazy that day. I took over 1,000 photos. Not all of them winners, but quite a few are fun to look at. The top 120 (10%) I put on FB so that they could be tagged and used as profile pictures. The other 900 or so (and the 120 best) are linked to below. I think that there will also be a gallery somewhere on the KCEH main page as well.

All photos from College House Day are available here (or click on the images in this post) additionally, the top 10% albums are available on Facebook at the KCEH 2008-2009 group and on my FB account here.

A quick breakfast...

Breakfast on Monday- Mandatory Meeting (attendance will be taken)

Hi All,

Monday morning at 10:30 we're going to have a hall brunch in our lounge. (Yum!)

Straight from brunch, we'll go to the dorm social at the park together. We have some important information to distribute on Monday, including the roommate contracts.

If you drink coffee, please stop by my whiteboard (room 426) and put a tic mark up, so we know how much coffee to buy.

Please do this by 10pm Sunday night.

Excited to see you all there,

Your wonderful, dedicated and beautiful staff

Photos from The NSO PMA Event

I hope everyone had as much fun at the PMA as I did... :P

Was everyone there when the DJ played the electric slide song? That was so retro-cool. As an FYI, the museum is open every Sunday as a donation-only entry which means that for poor students like us we can choose to pay what we can to get into the museum. If you didn't see all the art that you wanted to, or if you were too busy eating the salmon, you can head back any Thursday. It's an easy 20 minute walk.

Photos from NSO Library Social, Pennfest

It looked like everyone was having a great time at the NSO events last night. Hopefully you all got T-shirts... they ran out pretty fast. I wouldn't have gotten one if Vanessa hadn't given me her basically filled out sheet! Anyway, that is probably the one and only time you will see so many people in the library! Poor kids trying to study on the 3rd floor, did you see them? Just kidding.

Photos from the Freshmen Mixer

I would definitely say that last night's mixer was a great success. It was great to see everyone having fun getting to know each other.

When you get the chance, thank the house managers for their initiative of setting up the human taco game, the music and the water ice and pretzels. Thank your RAs for their delightful(?) training sessions as well!
