Funny, free booty fits so well with my school. After all, we're the Armstrong Atlantic State University Pirates.

Today was Celebrate AASU Day! It's a mini fair to celebrate the school and the many activites the school has to offer. This was the third one I attended. I attended one in 1998 and one last year. The big deal about the whole thing is each student gets a free t-shirt. This's shirt is red. I like last year's shirt better. Also, one booth gived away free ice cream and there's an endless supply of hot dogs and soda. The wait on hot dogs and soda comes from the lines and cooking of the dogs.

Also, you can get free goodies like pens. The student loan companies each have a table and give away pens, pads of paper, highlighters and other goodies. You come away like a bandit just from them. I must have gotten 15 pens from them. I also got a few pads of paper. My bank offered a travel Band-Aid cover. However, Bank Of America gives on the best goodies. I scored a pen, a pencil, a big water bottle, and a pack of playing cards from them.

Stopped by the Honors booth but again, not impressive. It didn't scream "STOP!" at me like some of the other booths did. This year's theme was Greek. For students that are supposed to the be brightest Armstrong has to offer, they have no creativity in promotion. Hiding in the corner like they did this year does not promote them well. Hardly anyone was stopping by. It's good if you're smart but students don't like smart students come across as being smug. I guess that's why our lei campaign worked. We were just regular college students that just happened to be in the honors program.

The only sad thing about to today is I had no one to be with. Oh well, complaining about no in-town friends and no boyfriend should be left to another post. I did, however, speak to one of the girls from my Math 1113 course and gave her my e-mail.
