And a video that I forgot to put on the blog from when we were in Vegas.
A video from yesterday during the student Welcome “red carpet” theme party. Note how tired everyone looks from traveling!
Day One.
I love the first day of project. 200 awkward conversations about where I live, what school I root for, and where to find a toothbrush within walking distance. We started the project by taking awkward “I’ve been traveling for a full day but you want me to dress up and pose” pictures.
By this time next week, we’ll have inside jokes, guys will be honing in on which girl they think God wants them to marry, and the students will be on their second full day as ride operators, dippin’ dots servers (the ice cream of the future for the last couple of decades), or hot dog assemblers at the famous Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
But for now, we’ll just continue to talk about things to forget like what year in school everyone is. Where’s my nametag?
This video will be used at our orientation meeting tomorrow for the students. 11 came early, but all 63 are rolling in as I type this. You get to preview the video! Enjoy. I shot this on a new Canon F200 Flash Camcorder and then sped it up to 3000% normal speed.

We set up a phanfare site for everyone on project. So far it’s just been me adding to it, but soon it will be all 63 students and 20 staff. The students all arrive today! Enjoy.
