Monday, May 9th. Day one.

I started the day at 9 AM by going over to the actual "Chuck's Corner". Chuck's and I met in his office at the top corner of the admissions building where we had a short informal talk about my plans: What I hope to do in these next few weeks, and how I plan to do it.

After all that was said and done I headed over to the Wise Center to start writing. I jotted down a few notes that I could write without someone else's opinion.... such as what an "Advisor" is, and what their job is. I found this to be a great start to a complex guide. Not necessarily the beginning of the book, but it's where I started.

After that I headed over to assembly to make an announcement about how I need student's support for this guide because... well, I don't know everything about Proctor... and I will need other people's opinions and perspectives to write a proper guide. Which is exactly what happened after assembly when I sat down with Mackin (Yes, he's back apparently) and he told me many things he has discovered about Proctor. He gave me a wide range of things to put down such as:

"Don't swear in the Wise. Ed will take you down."

"Be optimistic for orientation. If you think it's going to suck, it's going to suck."

After getting a couple of food ideas from students, I went to the Dining Hall to try some out. I had one of the best grilled cheeses I'v ever made in the Dining Hall, and a drink called the Grand Slam which consisted of all six fruit drinks combined. Overall, a very enjoyable meal.

The rest of the afternoon I spent writing... and then at 3:15 I headed over to the theater for rehearsal. Overall, today made a nice dent into my project. I look forward to tomorrow!
