Fountain Hopping!

So tonight all the freshmen, class of 2009, went fountain hopping. It was so much fun to see it all from this side - it really is like a right of passage at Furman. If you don't know what fountain hopping is, let me explain. All the freshmen (~700 of them) meet in front of the PAC, and then run all over campus and wade through all of the fountains; there are 8 fountains. They end running through the rose garden, through a group of us upperclassmen who don't get wet, and jump in the lake. It is really disgusting - the lake is SOOOOOO filthy! Seriously, I cannot describe the growth that we can see in the lake, and everyone jumps in it! They were all excited - it was great. I'm not going to lie though, the class of 2008 was a lot more spirited and excited last year when we went fountain hopping. We were all so hyped up - I feel like we had to have set a record or something for being so loud and spirited. I am really excited about our halls this year. We seem to have a great group of kids who is really spirited and ready to win O-Week! And this year I think we really have a chance! Well, I have to wait up for the laundry that we are doing for the girls and boys, so that is why I am posting so late. This week has been fun so far, and all my favorite stuff is still coming up! Midnight serenade, President's Picnic and My Tie....ahhhhh.....the traditions of the freshmen.... I want to give a shout out to Lane, Cailin, Katie and Laura - we sure do miss all of our sophomores from last year! We are striving to be as great of an RA, RAR, and FRADs as we were given! Love to all!
