7. Homecoming

I don't have too much to talk about this week because not much happened except for Homecoming. Since I'm a freshman, this is my first college homecoming I have experienced as a student. Around noon, I went and ate some lunch at the Caf with one of my friends. It wasn't the usual where we had to stand in line and the lunch ladies served us. They had the food set out on tables and you could serve yourself. I guess that was just apart of the homecoming festivities. Anybody could go in and eat for free from what I could tell.

After I ate my friend and I just chilled in the room for a while then we went outside to watch the parade. There were many tailgaters outside enjoying the homecoming atmosphere. I heard a drum beating as well and I assumed it was some sort of tradition for homecoming at MC. We got to the street the parade was going down and we found a seat to watch for a little while. It reminded me a little bit of high school with all the floats and the homecoming court.

It was a pretty fun atmosphere and it was relaxed. It made me glad I could just be around the festivities and not have to worry about school work or anything for a little while. I know this has nothing to do with the mission statement, but I honestly didn't have anything that related to it.

I'm glad you had a reprieve from academics and time to get away from it all. That drum you heard was Civitan pledges. They had to keep it going all throughout the night after follies had ended, up until kickoff. Sorry to take away any school spirit, though I wish it was that instead. Keep writing bro!
