Vacation!

Hip hip for summer vacation! I leave tomorrow for the fantabulous state of New Jersey. Oh yes. I'll be back in the beginning of August, which is when the admission season really starts to kick off. Until then, stay cool, spend as much time as possible in the nearest hammock, and remember that it's never too early to start writing your college admission essay.

By the way, our first Discovery Day on Monday was a success! We had 149 guests and everything seemed to flow smoothly. Hannah and I rocked our "Why Mudd" powerpoint presentation, although we were a little tired after repeating it four times in a row! If you're interested, there's another Discovery Day coming up next Friday (the 23rd). I'll be in a minivan en route to western Pennsylvania at the time, but I can promise that Hannah will be back with more powerpoint. And Falone with the ESW-MOSS Kenya video, and Thyra with a special session on admission & financial aid. And our awesome tour guides, who are stuck wearing black T-shirts on 95-degree days, because some nincompoop (that would be me) didn't think about the drawbacks of black, heavyweight cotton T-shirts in the middle of a Southern California summer. Sorry guides. I'll do better next time.
