Wow...what a whirlwind week! New student orientation was all week, which required Dave to put in a few extra hours. It was awesome to interact with the orientation counselors and meet all the incoming students. This is only the second year of a student-run orientation, so there are a few kinks to work out, but all-in-all it went very smooth. Here is a picture of me acting goofy with a few of the head orientation counselors. College students will be college students no matter where in the world! After a week and a half of work, I am extremely enthusiastic about working with these students.

I finally went and made my first big grocery-shopping trip. As a marketing major, this venture was rather entertaining. A couple of the funny highlights was a box of cereal (pictured on the right), which was described as "Ludicrously Tasty!" Interesting choice of adjective on Kellogg's part. Also, I found it quite strange that the italian salad dressing that I found was Kroger brand--keep in mind that I'm shopping at a very un-American grocery store. To think--I thought I escaped Kroger after leaving Ohio. The only item I couldn't find at the store that I really wanted was salsa--what a shame. I'm sure it's in this city somewhere!
