All that Metro has to offer (the past couple of days, at least)

Even though I spend a lot of time on campus, I seem to find myself coming back for more. For example, this past Friday after I left work and after my weekend had begun, I came back.
Yeah. I did.
I came back to attend a function put on by some Music students. See, Hannah (one of my best friends) had bought tickets to this dance/get-to-know-you from her brother Victor. Vic is a MSCD student studying music. He is really talented and I look forward to going to see him play in a huge concert- so I can yell "I'm with band!" (and mean it!). Last year, Hannah and I attended the party and geeked out. It was so much fun! I made us dress like Greek Goddesses- togas, wreaths as headbands, sandals. We looked awesome, we danced like the fools we are (Sorry Hannah!) and just had a great time.
This year, we decided to go as zombies- easy costume right? Zombies, in case you didn't know, wear normal clothing, have white faces with dark eyes, and don't have to dance, as they walk around stiffly, saying "ARGHHHH!!!". We went, had a good time and once again, didn't win the costume contest.
My only complaint of the evening? Well, besides the nasty guys hitting on us at the bar later in the evening (that's another post, for another time), was the 30 minute break at the party where one person decided it would be fun to swing dance. I almost fell asleep, it was so boring. But I wasn't the only person not digging the swing dance- 90% of the party-goers thought this person lost their mind, stopping the party right when it was getting busy to teach people (what people?) how to swing dance. The worst part? They weren't even swing dancing to swing music- they were swinging to the waltz. I rest my case.
My next trip back to campus was on Sunday for the Women's Soccer game. Where I came in my own clothing, watched the game in said clothing and didn't smell like a nasty foot when I left the game (i.e. I was not in costume). I was able to talk to other Metro fans and see people I hadn't seen in a while. Not to name drop but here are a couple of people I saw or talked to: Mike Dunlap, his wife Molly and their daughter Ellie; Greg Muth, former Men's Basketball standout; my friend Leslie Brown, from my high school;and Elaine Becks and Michelle LeBoo, Metro's BIGGEST FANS.
Today, while working, I was able to partake in an extremely exciting event: a delegation from the People's Republic of China was visiting Metro and I was involved in the event. Okay, all I did was take notes during a small discussion but it was really cool to meet the delegates and get to be a part of history. We had hosted another delegation from the People's Republic of China in June, which was fun.
Did you know that Metro was the only college that both delegations visited? Shows you how hard the people of Metro are working, how the word of our accomplishments is being passed around, how sweet of an education you can receive here at Metro.
If you are interested in knowing, the most discussed topic was study abroad (for professors, students AND administrators). In case anyone with a lot of money who would like to donate to Metro for worthy students, who would benefit from studying in China, please feel free to contact our Institutional Advancement office at (303)556-5117. Or if you would like to donate money for the sake of giving your money to a wonderful college, you can also contact our Institutional Advancement office.
