CPW Day 1

CPW Day 1 Hi everyone! CPW is in full swing. I havent been this tired in a long, long time. :-) I got here a little after 8AM, worked the registration desk until a little after 8PM, went to the Prefrosh Welcome Event in Rockwell (where Marilee spoke and the Logs sang), picked up some liquid nitrogen ice cream via the Prefrosh Festival on the way back, and Ive been back at the registration desk since a little before 10PM. Ill get out of here at midnight and can proudly say that my registration butt has been sitting on the same registration chair for 14+ hours today. Woot! Mitra has been right here with me the whole day; she is a total trooper. The good news is that this has been an ideal place to see people as they arrive on campus. Its been great to meet people in person after corresponding with them online for so many months! Ive taken a ton of pics which Ill post all at once early next week. Tomorrow should be a little more exciting for me activity-wise. Having paid my dues at the Registration Desk today, I get to float a bit more tomorrow. Looking forward to the EC bouncy ball drop (w/ strobe lights). :-) Below youll find todays pics although theyre mostly from the Registration Room, as thats where I was all day! Me, at the beginning of CPW, still with tons of evergy! :-) Mari, my guiardian angel. Matt Marilee. Me Mootmom. MoneyMan in rare form. Emily Mitra. Kelly, Lulu, Kledia, Mike Anthony check in. Me Ellen, with whom youve likely spoken if youve ever called our office. Finally free of the Reg Room, I was able to attend the welcome ceremony. Marilee is speaking in this pic followed by a performance from the Logs. Before heading back to the Reg Room for my second shift, I stopped by the Festival. Here some folks are making ice sculptures and liquid nitrogen ice cream.
