It really is good guys, and gals!

Like I said, I am new to this blogging thing. The expected regularity of it will be a challenge if I plan on pleasing my large base of readers.

I do not know how I was able to be out of the office for six straight weeks last year. Two weeks alone in St. Louis has left me with much to catch up on, but I had some great visits. All schools I visited were well worth it, but Lutheran North took the cake with 19 students stopping be to hear about Valpo! It was great to be back out there, but I really look forward to a little homecoming at Lutheran South when I visit on October 20th!

I would have to say, though, that my conversation at MICDS had to be the most diverse in topics during my St. Louis tour. Things started off well with some serious talk about our International Economics and Cultural Affairs degree and other related issues, but soon was diverted to a variety of other topics including food (which for all intensive purposes is a serious matter when it comes to the college search). I can't quite recall what else went on, but I do appreciate you keeping us on task, P!

Next up on the admission rounds brings me not too far from campus...I will be at the Portage High School College Night tommorrow evening from 6:30 - 8:00 PM. Hopefully I will see any of you in the area there!

I leave you with this thought...If a turtle loses it's shell, is it homeless or naked...

Check, Check 1, Check. Is this thing on? There we go.

Thus begins another exciting school year and the beginning of my blogging life. Today, Dan, Seth and I made a trip around the Valpo area to visit a few high schools and met some great students at Chesterton and Boone Grove. And now that I have this up and running, look out St. Louis, you are next! That is all for now, until...

The same blog time, the same blog place...
