Hey Everyone!
I’d like to start by saying how amazing 'MacShad' has been so far. I’ve made countless new friends and I’ve had so many fun experiences, all in just a week. Today, Sunday, all of us Shads were allowed to sleep as late as noon, a great way to catch up on sleep! We ate delicious breakfast in the lobby while chatting with other Shads – the main topic of discussion being the camping trip that we are going on this afternoon.
We are going to a camping site which is a few hours from campus, and we’re expected to return on Tuesday. I am SO excited for the trip – from hiking, to roasting marshmallows and telling fun ghost stories, I already know that it’s going to be an unforgettable trip. Anyways, I better get packing!
