I love Pink Floyd, and I love that song; especially the British school children singing in the background.
This Saturday some of the RAs built a wall/checkpoint on everyone’s way to commons (the cafeteria) for the campus wide project all RAs are required to do. The point was to make people aware of areas with frequent checkpoints and to show a new aspect of life that many people on campus had never experienced. It was odd to have to wait in line and flash my ID in the middle of campus to go to and from my dorm. The people running the checkpoints had a “no fly” list of people they had talked to before this whole thing (I assume) and they hassled them if they tried to get through the checkpoint. I happened to be giving a tour for Junior Visit Day, and we got “VIP” status, meaning we got to budge the line and go through quite easily.
On Friday I got to participate in an Obama music video. I was actually really tired (I had been in Chamberlain until 3:00am the preceding 2 nights) and was on my way back to my room to nap when I saw a huge group of people. I wandered over and the next thing I knew I was signing a release form and being ushered over the steps to participate in the music video. Since I am so short, they stuck me right in front. The reason it was being shot at Beloit was because one of our music professors actually wrote the song….it was pretty interesting.
The weekend went by too fast. I had piles of work I was hoping to get done and didn’t complete. Oh well.
Iit is so odd to be in the admissions office when it is LIGHT out. The snow is melting (finaly), the buds are forming, and I have even seen worms! spring is here.
