Summer Classes and an Alpha Chi Barbeque

Summer time an' the livin' is easy, Fish are jumpin' an' the cotton is high. Oh, yo' daddy's rich, and yo' ma' is good-lookin', So hush, little baby, don' yo' cry.
- Ira Gershwin and DuBose Heyward

For some, summer means kicking up your feet and relaxing. For others, summer classes are in full swing. Both the five week and eight week sessions are starting their feverish schedules, and students are learning more in a day than they did in a week in regular semesters. By summer's end those of us attending class will be prepped to start the fall semester on the right foot. Meanwhile, our roster for Conclave is looking good, with confirmed attendances by Jasen Braun, Adam "Buddha" Binder, Jeremy Rasmussen, Jared Cooke, Joe DeMay, Justin Payne, and me. And Jasen has been hard at work organizing our first official summer event happening this Sunday...

The barbeque with the Alpha Chis is this Sunday at 4pm at the Julia Davis Park. Jasen's putting this one together, and it looks like we'll get a good turnout. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it, as I work all day and night. Jasen will buy some cheap food, and hopefully bring frisbees, volleyballs, chips, drinks, and everything else needed for a successful BBQ.

Maybe next time we have a BBQ like this (in a couple week's time, with another sorority?) we should plan on floating the river immediately afterwards. It's a great way to cool off, and although the weather right now is still a little iffy, July weather is just around the corner. Floating the river's a great time, because we get to be outside, get a little tan, see the girls, and socialize on a leisurely ride down the river. Add water guns, and water falls, and cold water, and the fun factor is complete.

We were supposed to go iceblocking sometime last month, but unfortunately it rained that day, so we cancelled it. I might give Jeremy a call and see if he has another date for us to do that. Maybe the weekend after this barbeque.
