Many exciting new mostly social things happened today, but the most exciting wasn't too social - we happened to see the Michigan Marching Band doing marching practice. RSB was having a 'Welcome to Ross" carnival, mostly for MBA families, on Elbel Field and the band was marching all over the adjacent parking lot. Jenelle and I stayed fairly late, talking with a really great Argentianian couple (Alex & Iliyana), and all of a sudden the band was hailing the victors in a limited engagement preview. Awesome!
The day was mostly about intra-class and intra-section socializing. This morning we met up as sections; Section III introduced themselves, we ate lunch, and then several members of the section went to the gym for some hoops. It was fun to play hoops with some MBAs - I see that happening a fair amount.
After the gym, I met Jenelle at 409B and we headed down to the carnival. Qdoba catered and there were a whole lot of familiar friendly faces there. Being a beautiful August night in Michigan and on a field, there was also plenty of frisbee and football catch going on. All in all, a very fun event that we'd not really planned on going to. I guess that will probably be a common occurence over the next few years..."I happened to have fun at a random thing."
