Favorite Week: Welcome Weekend

I started my orientation on Monday, August 9th at Notre Dame and I swear it feels as if it has been about a year since I first stepped onto campus. I have had such an incredible experience meeting my classmates in the two-year program and I have no doubts whatsoever of my choice to come here.

We did a lot this week learning about the school and the breadth of its history, but we also had a ton of fun too. Sunday night kicked off at a BBQ Mike and I attended. Then on Tuesday, I went to The Pointe's pool and afterwards, Kildare's, with about fifty of my classmates. Wednesday was bowling, Thursday was a huge pool party and BBQ, Friday was an Irish pub and Corby's and finally, today, we went up to Saint Joe's to go swim in Lake Michigan and get some much needed beach time.

I have attached some pictures of our tour of the locker room and then the view from the luncheon we had in which Digger Phelps spoke. (What a motivational speaker...)

Standing in front of the team's entrance. If you look carefully you can see Touchdown Jesus (on the Hezburgh library) which is perfectly centered.

Slapping the the famous sign.

The view from the press box (and also the floor Brian Kelly's family sits on).
