Scholars', Homecoming, and Valentine's Weekend

This upcoming weekend is going to be intense...

It's Scholars' Weekend!

As an Ambassdor and a Presidential Scholar, that means double duty for me. But I am secretly excited to be so busy for such an awesome reason. 60 prospectives in one weekend? It doesn't get much better than that. If you're coming, know that I am ecstatic and cannot wait to meet you.

Along with the big Discover Queens this weekend, we also have our first Core exam of the semester on Friday. This means lots of studying will be going on this week, even amidst all the excitement for...

Homecoming! Which is also this weekend. You're in for a huge treat if you'll be visiting us on Saturday. There will be so much going on, you won't know what to do with yourself! I'll be there to help you decide, though.

If you aren't much into basketball, Opera Carolina is performing "Love Notes," their Valentine's Day collection, on Saturday at Queens' Dana Auditorium. I recently saw their production of Aida, and it was magnificant. It's nice to know that, even with rock, pop, and rap as prevalent as it is now, the classic and timeless sound of Opera is not dying out.

Something else going on this weekend is Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre's visit to Charlotte. I'll be going to see their performance on Sunday afternoon. CUB, Campus Union Board, sold 10 $8 tickets; I wouldn't have missed that opportunity for the world! You'll hear a lot about CUB as you come to visit, and when you finally get to school here, because they do an incredible job planning events and bringing students together. Here's my shout out to all of you: I love CUB!

If you are coming this weekend, I am anxiously awaiting your arrival. If you are not coming this weekend, but haven't been to visit yet, be sure to check out the upcoming Connection Queens on March 29! We look forward to meeting you. :)

Fondly
