Belated Mardi Gras

Hello All!

Yesterday was MAC’s belated Mardi Gras Bash! It is by far my favorite event on campus. Metz, our dining service, works in conjunction with numerous food and drink vendors and every year on Mardi Gras, the vendors visit campus for a one-day food extravaganza. They bring their latest products and we get to be the taste testers. After the taste testing has commenced, we fill out surveys and choose our top picks. If a product is voted for enough, there are chances it will show up on campus as a new addition to the Dining Hall and Snack Bar. How cool is that? My friends and I were big fans of the iced coffee and energy drinks!

Tonight are the Mounties final home basketball games of the season. We are playing Frostburg State. I’m looking forward to all of the halftime entertainment. Apparently, my friends on the Step Team have a great routine planned! It’s sad to see another basketball season come and go because it means I’m getting closer and closer to the end of my Junior year. :( The one good part about it is that it signals the end of the winter sports season. That can only mean one thing…Baseball season!! I am a big fan of the Mounties Baseball team, who opens their season at Shenandoah this weekend. I think I am also looking forward to the spring weather, wink wink!

Well I’m going to head to the game. I will catch up with you guys next week!
