In the Spirit of the 2008 Presidential Campaign Season:

Here are more promises chalked on a blog along with some details that don't make a huge difference in your day-to-day life! (Can you tell the election coverage is starting to get to me?)

I'm pooped. Today was our first Summer Visit Day of three and though the June crowd turns out about half the number of visitors we will see in August, everyone in the office looks like they could use a nap. It's Friday afternoon, but the week is ending on an upbeat: Summer Visit Days are some of my favorite of the summer. Hundreds of people roaming campus, excited about Beloit, wanting to talk about what happens here... it's a nice change of pace from the weekday trickle of guests off I-90.

I mean it. I do. And I know I sound tired, but brace yourself, because here comes some optimism and the future tense:

Next Monday, I, JuliaBeloit, will put up some pictures of last nights Go-Cart/MiniGolfing adventure. I will post my review of Pixar's latest robot love story (WALL-E). And most importantly, I will call my mother. Now that's change I can believe in!

Thanks to all the prospies and their patient parents who dropped by campus today. We had a blast and hope you also enjoyed the mini-pastries!
