Congrats to President Hess!
Just a jam packed weekend. It started thirty minutes after my Econ class on Friday with the President’s Inauguration. Glee club took the stage and sang “Come Travel With Me.” The song was an invitation as if we were President Hess and he was asking the audience to join him on this great expedition. I can’t stop thinking that, in a way, I was in President Hess’ shoes and was asking Wabash Trustees, students, alumns, faculty, staff and the Board of Directors to be part of the journey.
Following the melodic invitation was the benediction and then our Alma Mater. We finished and cleared the stage for the recessional.
The celebration continued into Saturday with the football teams win against Ohio Wesleyan University and then Party with the Prezz on the mall.
If you didn’t join the President at yesterday’s party, you really missed out. There was live music the entire time, a cupcake truck, a smoothie truck, and even a taco truck.
It’s exciting thinking about the ideas and changes President Hess has up his sleeve for Wabash. I already love the experience and freedom to choose from clubs and classes and I can’t even imagine how much better it is going to get while I am here and even when I graduate.
That same night some of my buddies and I watched five movies back to back: “30 for 30, The U,” the classic “Untouchables,” the stomach cringing “Jackass” part one and two, and every boys favorite, “Small Soldiers.” Well that last one probably doesn’t completely count because I can’t remember watching the last scene.
Did I get anything done yesterday? You may not think so, and I would have to forcefully oblige.
But would I do it again?
Yes!
It’s the kickoff for the fall break. Just three more days this week and then a much needed and yearned for fall break is here. Going to Fish, head to SkyZone, watch more movies, hit the gym and definitely the books. Just relax and settle in for another big academic push.
I will leave y’all with that and probably post again Thursday morning about fishing and roasting marshmallows under the stars on Wednesday.
Thanks for reading!
Alejandro
