Hello to all,
I am as the title of this says, "Completely Stressed." Why you ask? Well, I am juggling 15credit hours, 17.5 hours of work and the Yearbook rests on my shoulders. I would be more relaxed if the pages of the yearbook were made. However, Gwen the Herff Jones representative is busy with her own schedule and can't make it over to Piedmont for another week! Everything seems to be at a stand-still for the yearbook. Now, let me back things up and tell you what has been happening...
I moved in Aug. 8th into Mayflower. This may sound minute and totally unrelated to yearbook but it has everything to do with it. All seniors are meant to move in on Aug. 11 but I had to move in early due to the Freshmen. Every year, Freshmen move in on a Sunday and I am responsible for taking all the pictures during the day and at the end of the day usually around 4pm or so I have to climb on top of the Congregational Circle wall and take a group picture of all the incoming Freshmen... what joy.
Ok, so Sunday was move in. On Monday, a whole new list of activities was planned such as a ropes course, alcohol awareness class, library tour and a skit to put the "cherry on top." The ropes course is always fun and that's where I get the best pictures. They make the Freshmen participate because it teaches them to work as a team. Each year I get pictures of them swinging on ropes and balancing as they run across a narrow board.
The skits this year were the same as in the past. It's not the fault of the Freshmen because they base it on their first few days at Piedmont which, for most are a culture shock. I did get a lot of great pictures since I had a sports lens on the D-60 Nikon that the Mass Comm Dept purchased. It works wonderfully and has become my baby. I take it everywhere.
