Its an exciting time at Purdue these few weeks as we are having STAR and hosting all of the incoming freshman, transfer students and their parents.
This morning I was called upon to go meet up with the entire STAR group after the Purdue presentation and lead back our students and their familes across campus to MTHW for our presentation. I was quite excited to be all official and get to meet some of our new students!
I made my way to Wetheril, which I had never been to before, and after getting my name screamed out of a vehicle going by Oval Drive, (thanks for scaring the pants off me Mary!) I found my way to the building and wandered around untill I found the auditorium and made my way in to the front and sat down and waited for the presentation to end.
It went on longer than expected, although we did sing a rousing rendition of "Hail Purdue" which I can't help it, it gets me every time. The Black and Gold just starts flowing through my veins when that song comes on!!
So we dismiss and I get to hold up my sign and wave at hundreds of people, feeling just so proud to be a representative of our college! Finally everyone makes their way down to the front and we leave the auditorium and try to head outside and go across campus to MTHW to get them signed into CFS.
Well, here is where it gets embarassing. Having never been in Wetheril before, I was a tad discombobulated, and headed towards a door different than the one I came in. And proceeded to lead, or try to lead over 75 people DOWNSTAIRS TO THE BASEMENT! Not outside, but to the BASEMENT! I got down there and there were probably 15 people directly with me and I said oh no. We went the wrong way, back upstairs! I felt SO EMBARASSED!!! Their first impression of us and me, the nincompoop leads them not outside, but down to the basement of Wetheril.. Sigh...
