As a new freshman at St. John's University, I was excited to attend the "Week of Welcome" activities that took place this year before classes started. The first major event I attended was "DAC (short for D'Angelo Center) After Dark: Red Eye Flight," which was basically a 3-floor world showcase, with sights, sounds, and tastes of the different continents. That night, I got to see a dance performance in "Africa"; had an Oriental style poster of my name made in "Asia"; made a custom chocolate bar and got a caricature drawn of myself in "North America"; and decorated maracas in "South America".
A couple of days later, I went to make my own St. John's tie-dye t-shirt in front of Sullivan Hall. That night, I also attended St. John's Tailgate '11, a school year kick-off celebration that included performances by the STJ Cheerleaders and Pep Band. There was also really good food there, including zeppoles and Mr. Softee ice cream - my favorite!
