Homecoming Week 6

This week I've really been feeling the ONU love.
Firstly, I was nominated a while ago for homecoming court by my NCF comrades. Actually, I was basically forced into the nomination. I thought I would go along for the ride to appease my friends.
My fine running mate, Jordan Rowsey, and I did the whole picture taking/sign making fiasco. It was slightly stressful. It's not like I have enough to worry about without making tons of homecoming posters... Anyway, we hung them up as soon as we could and I didn't expect anything more to happen. We got a few compliments about our attempted humor with "The Office" theme that we chose. Jordan just happened to significantly resemble Jim from The Office, so I had to put on my best Pam persona.
Voting was the beginning of this week and only five ladies and five gentleman were to be chosen out of the massive amount of nominees. I was completely shocked Thursday when I got the call that I had been elected as one of the five! I know it's not a big deal, but I'm excited nonetheless. I'm proud to be selected as a possible representative of ONU. Besides, we get treated pretty well all homecoming weekend. :)

I wouldn't trade our small school atmosphere for anything. I'm constantly impressed by the attention we receive as students. Most faculty and staff make an effort to know our names and show interest in our lives, we can delve right into our course of study and gain practical experience, and it's not uncommon to pass twenty friends on the sidewalk on the way to our next class. Even though I occasionally crave the excitement and diversity of big college towns, I'm content right now, right here.
