Yes! I get the first comment!!! YESSSSSSS!
lol
I would just like to say that I heart this post. Victoria - you rock! :o)
Wow, Victoria. I had forgotten the sheer amazingness of this list. Thanks for posting it! Maybe we should keep going with it...any ideas?
I'm up for any suggestions anyone has. Currently I'm working on a top ten ways Purdue is different from HC list. I vote that you should do the same for ND
Victoria, that was amazing!!!! I loved it. Maybe I should write up a list of how HU is different from HC...:)
oh! so many wonderful ideas! how i miss the overflow of thought processes coming from the Sweet Suite down the hall!
i would just like to say that after visiting Purdue...I now have a greater appreciation and LOVE for my small campus!!! :o)
You visited and didn't tell me!! What were you thinking?!?!?!
Great job, Victoria! You have captured the essence of the HC experience. As a former Wright 3rd brother, I appreciate your sentiments for us. :-D
It was actually a group effort Jay. Together, Joni, Heather and I are a genuis. Plus, we really do love those Wright boys.
Wright 2nd, in particular, but who's keeping track? [They totally raised a lot of money for Haitian orphans...]
It's true, Joni really loves those Wright 2nd boys alot. So keep that in mind, if any of you guys out there are interested in her. Donating money to Haitian orphans is a major plus, I imagine that Pakastani refugees would have a similar affect (I can never remember, effect/affect?).
Effect. Also, helping the homeless, promoting the work of the church in Turkey, and advocating the peaceful replacement of the mullahs in Iran with a government that the people will support and that will protect human rights. Maybe I have a couple of pet causes. So sue me. But I don't know that the promise of my favor is much of a draw in this equation. Thanks for the vote of confidence, though, Victoria. ;)
I totally did not even know about your pet causes, Joni. I don't even know what a "mullah" is--at first glance, I thought it said "mullet", which I'm sure is totally unrelated.
Also, Victoria, Merillat only has one 't'. Just so you know. :)
FYI, I'm probably against mullets as a general rule as well.
That's one of the benefits of being a chemist. I'm allowed to be spell check dependent. :-)
