THANKS OSU-LIMA!




Well, it's the morning of finals! When I woke up this morning, I realized something. This is my last day of class EVER at OSU-Lima. It's actually pretty sad. I feel like a senior in high school all over again. I won't get to see all the great professors (Ackerman, Nimps, Recker, Sutton-Ramspeck) anymore and I'll be leaving behind some of the greatest people I've met when I move on to Columbus. I will definitely miss the admissions office staff though! I've had tons of fun working with them. Leaving OSU-Lima means no more ultimate frisbee during the lunch break, no more karaoking in the courtyard, no more messenging the person sitting next to you in the Galvin computer lab, no more tailgating trips to football games, no more crazy volleyball classes, no more random trips to wal-mart, and tons more! My two years at OSU-Lima have flown by so fast! It's like the old saying, "Time flies when you're having fun." It's going to be hard to replace all the friendly and helpful Lima students and staff. I hope that I meet people like them in Columbus.

THANKS OSU-LIMA FOR MAKING MY FIRST TWO YEARS OF COLLEGE MEMORABLE!
I'LL MISS YOU ALL!!

Jim Tressel Night


Last week, Jim Tressel came to the Civic Center for the "Spring for Scholarships" Dinner and Auction as the special guest. I arrived at the Civic Center at 4:00PM to help set things up. When people started arriving, my job was to socialize with everyone. While wandering the hallway, somone touched my shoulder and said "excuse me, miss." I turned around to see Jim Tressel! (side note: He's not very tall!) While Tressel was signing autographs and taking pictures, I was down at the entrance of the ballroom being the doorman. Haha. I jokingly told people that I was the bodyguard and that I was keeping the Michigan people out. During the dinner, Jim Tressel spoke to us for like 45 minutes! Even though he talked more than his allotted time, I learned a lot about himself and the team. Did you know that Tressel's grandparents lived in little ol' Ada, OH? And did you know that young Jim Tressel dreamed of someday being Ohio Northern University's football coach? Overall, it was an unbelievable event that will always be remembered.

A quote from Tressel that night was "Nothing good happens past ten" Well, I guess Dean would have to agree with that! After the Tressel night, we decided to go to Westgate Lanes to bowl. Dean didn't think that I would be able to bowl in a skirt. Hmm...he was wrong! I ended up beating him by 86 points with a score of 194. I have no idea how I pulled that one off...maybe it was the skirt. ;)
