Flunk Day 2012

Flunk Day is one day in the spring semester that the outgoing student body president and vice (Kelly and I) choose to cancel classes and take a day to relax.  This year flunk day was on Monday March 19th! :) The day was beautiful and there was a ton of stuff going on out on the quad including photo booths, foam party, bouncy horse races, a DJ and a ton of food.  Kelly and I woke up flunk day committee (FDC) around 5am so they could get ready and we woke up campus at 7am.  The quad opens at 11, but FDC helps set up the days fun activities on the quad.  It is just a great day to relax and not worry about a thing! This years flunk day was just that.  It was a beautiful sunny day for campus to have some fun!

Until next time,

St. Paddys Day Fun!

Every year on St Patricks in downtown Cedar Rapids more than 10,000 people from the community gather for the annual St. Patricks day parade.  This year I got the pleasure to be in the parade as the Charlie Kohawk.  It was a ton of fun to see all the people and get them excited about the day.  There was green everywhere and the streets were flooded with green as well.  The weather was beautiful and we handed out green toosie rolls! :)  It was great to get out into the community and show off our Coe pride.

Back at it!

Spring Break was a much needed time to rest and have some fun!  I went to Las Vegas with my friend Kyle and we has a blast!  The week flew by but I'm excited to be back at Coe with everyone again!  I will use this week to get back in the swing of things because we only have 7 weeks left until summer!  That is crazy to think about.  This summer I got an internship in the Emergency Room back home, I can't wait to start.  I am also looking forward to traveling to Africa this May.  My future is looking exciting.  The weather this week is looking beautiful, who knows it might even be Flunk Day tomorrow! ;)  I have also started working out again and cutting out the junk food!  My friend and I pledged that by the time we graduate next year we will both have a six pack, so I can't let them down :)  I better get running in this beautiful weather.  I also attached some picture from my Spring Break trip!

Until next time,
