Free candy, anyone?

It really doesn’t feel like that much time has gone by since the start of the semester, but it also feels like there’s a long ways ahead. I guess we’re kind of in a no-man’s land of classes right now. Halloween is coming up, and I’ve decided that I’m going to dress up as an employee of GVSU admissions; that’s right, I’m working on the 31st. Those students that visiting that day are going to bring free candy, right? It should be a pretty fun day, though; meeting some potential students, hanging out with the other personnel, and there’s a football game that night. I haven’t really been keeping tabs on the marching band lately, so I’m curious to see if they do a Halloween themed show this weekend.

So what else is new? For those of you following, I didn’t do half bad on any of the big assignments/tests that I had last week. I’m going to have a chance to present the paper I wrote tomorrow in class, and I forgot to mention that most of the research (almost all of the 14 sources) for that paper came out of our library’s databases. I’ve been making sure to let my tours in on that whenever they ask about the catalog of resources we have. In admissions related news, the end of October is kind of our rule of thumb time for a good point to take care of all of your college applications. Now if you haven’t done so, don’t panic, it’s just a suggestion. All the same, it never hurts to be early with your applications, especially here at GV. I would just really encourage students to get a move on that within the next month. And don’t think that you have to visit the campus first, either. An application isn’t a commitment to us, it just gives us a chance to admit you. Taking care of that early will provide you with more time to make a decision on colleges. No pressure, eh?

Anyway, as far as questions go, ask them if you’ve got them.
