Tonight was my department's spring gala to
celebrate our spring interns and graduates. I was asked to be a
"commencement" speaker at the event which was nice and fun. They gave me
a thank you note and a cool stone coaster as a thank you gift. We had
51 students interning this semester--so many it was hard to get them all
in a picture and impossible to get them all looking at the cameras at
the same time! I did a quick panorama snap and called it a day. Yay for
new young professionals!
Today I walked into the HCSV office to find Ms.
Tina here manhandling Bubba. Who's Bubba? He's our Department Mascot.
He has a torso, head and arms--they just were waiting in the wagon until
Bubba's body got put back on his stand. Bubba dresses up in all sorts
or gear all year round. He's got a graduation outfit (that he's wearing
now), a Santa Suit for Christmas, some casual Wildcat gear for
non-holiday/celebration time. And of course he has his g-string. Since
he gets moved around so much and is always changing clothes someone
thought it would be a good idea if we didn't let him hang in the breeze
all the time. And obvs a g-string is the best choice. The things you
have to deal with if you are housed in our department! (And I'm talking
about both Bubba and Tina)
Our
Health Professions Club held a fundraiser at Cafe Flo tonight. Of
course Ange and I were there to show our support. They had an open mic,
lots of karaoke and some actual singers and bands. My favorite moment of
the night was when three hipster nerdie guys got up and started rapping
the most ridiculous song I've ever heard. It involved the words "cray
cray" at least twice if that's any indication. All in all a successful
event and super silly fun.
