"Hurricane People"

Not a whole lot to be said about this past weekend. At least volleyball team is good. We get to sit up in the Party Patio for this next game thanks to Matthew "Love" Rackar. I haven't lost all hope in football and soccer, although I didn't get to see the loss and the tie the girls had in Michigan this weekend. I'm still confident that Reggie and the Ags can finish with a successful year and a possible Big XII championship. It just wasn't too fun watching the poorly executed game at Clemson this weekend.

Anyway, Mrs. C came in last night and took all of her kids (Nick, MB, Audra and I) out ot IHOP at like midnight. We figured it was a good time to grab some grub. So I didn't get the homework I would have liked to get done finished, but that's what work time is for (and yet I'm blogging...). I did get to spend all morning at Beutal with Gage though (actually not with Gage, they mainly confined me to the hallway), so I got some good time in with my Marketing Research textbook that I haven't paid attention to. Not much else going on except I hate what they've done to the Commons.

Upon walking into the SCC this morning, we saw some girls approach a worker and tell her that they were "hurricane people" and needed to register. Them calling themselves hurricane people made us sad. So we talked to our friend Cynthia, the lab supervisor and after telling us some of the sad stories she'd heard, she sent us upstairs. We wanted to give everyone hugs, but instead we watched all the students register, sign up for financial aid, find housing, basically the whole process of enrolling at A&M. We asked some students where they were from. There were a lot of colleges represented up there, very sad that they were displaced from their lives and now have to go here for at least a year. We need to get some students over to them to explain to them all the "weird Aggie stuff." I know they're gonna be frightened by the corps boys and all of our traditions. We're accepting 1000 students and I heard about a program that's buddying Aggies up with a hurricane student. I tried to find more information out upstairs, but no one knew about it. I'm sure by tomorrow, I'll have some kind of information. Both Tiffany and I are very interested in doing that program and at least trying to make them feel a little more at home. Well, I guess I'm going to go write my paper now. I work till 5, then I'll be going to our brand new MGMT 466 class. I hope it's all it's supposed to be.
