Home for the Summer

So after a long, fun, but tiring summer, I'm finally heading home. Just a few hours ago I packed up all my boxes in Baltimore, and hopped on a train headed back for New Jersey. For the next few weeks, I get to finally eat some home-cooked food and sleep in (hopefully, if my parents let me!). I'll also be taking a trip to SoCal in less than two weeks! Anyway, I'm getting settled in back at home, waiting for dinner right about now. I'll be sure to fill everyone in about my month at home once I get back to campus on the 25th! I'll be moving into my new dorm, helping out with JHU Freshman Orientation, and settling into my new classes as a Sophomore, officially declared Public Health Studies Major!

Have a great rest-of-the-summer!

Summer 2013 Comes to a Close

It feels so surreal, but Summer 2013 has finally come to a close. We'd been planning for this since last September, but in another day all of our Summer University students and Discover Hopkins II students will be headed back home. Today, we went around to all of the DH classes again to give out Certificates of Completion to congratulate them for a job well done.

Later in the afternoon, we got ready for the annual Summer University pinning ceremony. For all their hard work over the course of the term, we presented each student with a certificate and a pin with the official seal of the university. All of the students got gussied up for the event and it was a great end to the summer.

The pins, ready to be given out.

Friends with their certificates and pins.
