I have seen the Mothership!

I flew to Kansas this past weekend for Capstone. Emporia is a tiny city. The campus was pretty, but I do have a love of big, brick buildings and fall foliage, being a Central New Yorker by birth. (I attached a picture to this post, or you can look at it and another on my profile page) The weather was much nicer than Portland's, too - in the sixties and mostly sunny! As an unexpected bonus, the rental car had satellite radio, which made the drive from Wichita to Emporia much more fun.

The students I met were nice - mostly Kansans(?), but there were a couple people from Colorado, and one from Utah, so I wasn't the only foreigner. Hopefully, I did okay on my portfolio...

As some of you know, I was pretty irritated that we weren't told until late October that it was only one day - long after I had bought my ticket and hotel reservations. So, I spent a bunch of time watching Dr. Who on the laptop, visited the hot tub a couple of times, surfed the net... It was nice to take some down time, but I would have rather been at Orycon.

Still, it was kinda cool to see the campus. And get an ESU sweatshirt, since I was there...

Wow, so the school really does exist. I'm glad we finally have some confirmation on this other than Perri's word.

Impressive Shandra! Did you encounter any aliens?

Well, everyone seemed normal... ;)
