So as many of you know tomorrow is my 18th birthday. I am finally an adult and I can do fun adult things, like vote, buy cigarettes, get arrested and put in jail.... and many more enjoyable activities... On the eve of this blessed day of my birth, a thought occurred to me... I have always played it safe you know with everything from clothes, friends, school.... so I had a brilliant idea... I would change myself to usher in this new phase of my life and I also decided that if I am going to change why not go all out so for those of you who haven't seen me in a while.... this is the new me......
Yeah.... I am guessing you have probably realized by now that I was joking.... kinda obvious I know, but seriously.... I am an adult, when did that happen?? Anyways you are probably wondering what those pictures are from cuz its not like I dress up as a ghetto superstar everyday for kicks.... well this last week happened to be "welcome week" for the Georgetown softball team. This week entails endless fun for the upperclassmen as the freshman and newbies (our junior transfer Kelsie) get to do whatever they tell us to. There were many events and a lot of crazy outfits.... but it was super fun and I am sad that it is finally over..... Well the first night of the week which happened to be Tuesday because it was a holiday on Monday the newbies, which includes me, had to do a scavenger hunt that was set up by the upperclassmen. We started in Healy Circle and ended in the Dahlgren fountain. So here are some pictures from that crazy night (thanks to Kelsie's camera):
So our first clue took us to Hoya Snaxa where we had to buy a pregnancy test before getting our next clue and each clue was in the shape of a letter.....
The next clue took us to the top of Leavey......
Then it took us to the infamous green chair where we all posed like crazy people........ oh and by this time we were already ready to call safe rides to take us to our next location but ironically they didn't pick up.... at least we weren't in any real danger....
So the next clue took us down to M Street.....Then we went to Philly P's unfortunately without taking a picture
So then we were directed to the Exorcist stairs and man those are a pain to climb up....
Then our team of course made us find this book in the library and the clue was hidden in there..... and who knew how many people actually study at the library at Georgetown... I think we were annoying them..
The final clue took us to John Caroll where we were told to unscramble our letters and I finally figured out it spelled.......
Dahlgren and yes I am aware that we spelled it wrong and you know what that means.......
Fountain swimming with the team.... and if this scene is looking familiar to any of you... yes this is where Heath and Thais took some of their wedding pictures.....
And this is where we found out what outfits we would be wearing the next day....all day.....every class....
And yes I really walked around like that......
Then on Thursday we, after lifting, went to Suria and Liv's room and ate pizza, played upperclassman Jeopardy, and the newbies graced the upperclassmen with a witty and might I say quite funny skit.... a parody on many of our teammates and coaches.....
Friday was Midnight Madness!!!
So apparently we have a decent basketball team so this little shindig involved waiting two and a half hours just to get wristbands to get into the gym........ these were my waiting buddies in the freezing cold... okay it wasn't that cold but I was freaking wearing my Rainbows......
So it included performances by two of our dance groups, Groove Theory and our step team, and Jerry Rice's daughter sang and her father was also there and some famous basketball guys spoke and our teams were announced with some more dancing so it was pretty much a big deal....
Afterwards we hung out as a team and stuff....
Saturday now we are talking about the finale of Welcome Week and let me tell you it was big!!
So the newbies had to dress in the costume that the upperclassmen picked for you..... mine was ghetto superstar so that explains the pictures above.... others were an American Girl doll, Shrek,a pretty pink princess, a cracked out supermodel, the Quaker Oats guy....... so that was our fun party!! and it was fun walking around school in our costumes getting told that Halloween was not for another couple weeks.....
So that was our Welcome Week and it was pretty much fun!! So ya......... that is my update I hope you like it!!
So as I reflect on the last 18 years I think I have a lot of people to thank for making me who I am! So thank you!!!
Love you all!! Mackensey
