Rainy Day Tours

After months of needing one, I finally bought a new umbrella.I love it. I suggest everyone gets a bubble umbrella today, they're at Target.

I've given many campus tours on nasty days like this. Sometimes they're quite enjoyable other days they are quite miserable. This always brings me back to my college searching process in high school. Janessa and I took a day off from school to go to Tulsa. To get the absence excused we decided to take a quick tour of the University of Tulsa, not really interested in going to the school. Little did we know that we would be getting the full service treatment at this tour. We had had a pretty rough morning already, the GPS got us lost and it was pouring down rain. After finally arriving at the admissions office we were warmly greeted by 4 tour guides and our names on the television screen. We went on a walking tour in the typhoon weather and fell in love with the school. After the tour, they fed us lunch in the dining hall and gave us a chance to chat with other students. After lunch we got to sit down and speak with an admissions counselor and they gave us TU T-shirts when we left. This was the day when I decided rainboots were a definite necessity.

That memory sticks in my mind on days like these because the tour is such a crucial part of choosing which school is right for you. The weather was awful but I was completely sold on the school based on how it was all presented to me. Everyone was so hospitable and helpful. On nasty days like these, I strive to have a sunny day attitude while giving my tours.

I miss that day so much. Seriously, I'm about to cry right now because it was such a great day. SUCH a great day. And I spent it with you.
