I can’t believe it’s almost Thanksgiving! I have had the time of my life this semester, and I feel like there is something excitng going on every weekend. On Saturday, NOVEMBER 14, 2009, I went to the St. Louis Zoo with the freshmen Presidential Scholars. We had an AMAZING time. But why do I stress [...]
TOURS! (And being a tour guide, of course!) Today, just like every Monday and Friday at noon, I gave a tour to prospective students. I only had three families to give a tour to, and it made their visit that much more special. I’m known as the “Queen of Random Facts” by some tour guides. [...]
