Candidate's Weekend Two!
This weekend is the second Candidate's Weekend. It's surprising how quickly they come and go, and then you'll have to wait until the fall for our campus to get swarmed by prospective students again. There were a lot of really cool candidates at the first weekend, and I am sure the second will prove to work out just as well. Also, I hear they're going to make duct tape more expensive at Design Build, so hopefully we'll see some really spectacular failures in addition to really innovative successes. I am all about spectacular failures.
Awesome things about Candidate's Weekend:
- FWOP's Into the Woods shows Friday and Saturday night!
- Mediterranean Bar at dinner!!!
- The Variety Show
- Seeing people you don't know
- Awesome projects at Mini Expo (come check out Brad and I's somoa-cookie-seeking robot!)
Also, be sure to come see Into the Woods. Into the Woods is playing this weekend Friday and Saturday. You should come see Into the Woods. At Sorenson Theatre at Babson, Olin's theatre group, FWOP, will be performing Into the Woods. At 8pm on Friday and Saturday FWOP will be performing Into the Woods. I hear Into the Woods will be good when performed this weekend. Don't forget about Into the Woods. Don't go anywhere without your Into the Woods. It was Jon Cass's birthday. Happy Birthday Jon! Jon, you should come see FWOP's performance of Into the Woods to celebrate.
