Purple 101

Today, we celebrated the 1st Annual Purple 101 here at MAC. To say that it was a success doesn't seem to do it justice. If you were on campus, you would notice that the statue of Saint Aloysius was even in the spirit of Purple 101. He was wearing a purple snow cap and scarf...he needed to stay warm somehow! Haha :o) Cosgrave Center was completely covered in purple streamers, balloons and banners advocating Relay For Life and honoring those who have fought cancer. We even got some media coverage so look for us in the local papers!!

The Colleges Against Cancer Chapter was in full recruitment mode and we were able to get several teams registered for the upcoming event as well as spread interest to many new students. I have a feeling that this Relay For Life will be the best yet!! The enthusiasm is spreading all over campus. It's definitely getting me pumped up!!

This weekend is going to be nice and relaxing because I will be going home for the first full weekend since Christmas break...yup that's right...I have been that busy!! I'm so excited to sleep in my room and spend some quality time with the whole family...including the dogs!!

Well, I have some things to get ready for tomorrow and a little bit of reading to finish up. I hope you guys all have a great weekend!!
