It’s the small things that make a difference
Commencement is only 5 days away and we’ve now moved into the stage where we are putting finishing touches on a million small things. For example: new coats of paint are being put on railings on the Quad, the lampposts on the Quad, and even the speed bumps. We pay attention to the small things and big. I like it.
For some strange reason, the chapel bells are ringing now, at 10:51 on a Wednesday. I guess this is practice time for the carilloneur for Commencement. Funny to hear the bells tolling now.
Out my window I can see what appears to be some sort of high school tour. It’s about 30 kids and maybe 4 adults, which seems to be a dangerously low adult-to-high-schooler ratio. Then again, my spouse and I have a 3 year old and we much prefer having a ‘zone defense’ on a toddleras opposed to a ‘man to man’ defense : )
Our office is busy stuffing welcome packets for the Class of 2008 today. They get a small goody bag with information about the Alumni Office, the WF Clubs program, how they can keep their email address, how they can connect with other Wake Foresters in whatever city they are moving to. 1,000 goodie bags in our office area - good times!
PS - I just found this great link online with WFU Commencement trivia. Enjoy!
