The Welcome Party

Hi everyone! I’ve been busy on my personal development blog [1], the Tweet This plugin [2] for WordPress I made, and my Daytona State College classes. But I want to share these photos from the DSC welcome party last week (August 27).

People at the party, enjoying the cool Florida weather. 
[4]
Dr. Michael Flota (left) and Steve Pruitt (right), of Phi Theta Kappa [5]. Pruitt is the student president of the Daytona State’s Mu Rho chapter [6], and Flota is on the board of directors. Dr. Flota teaches sociology (fall) and economics (spring) at QUANTA [7].
[8]
Professor Frank Gunshanan says hello. He teaches English in QUANTA, and does a bang-up job of it.
[9]
Random people!
[10]
I forget this fellow’s name. He’s preparing the Phi Theta Kappa dunk tank.
[11]
The army recruiters are active on campus. I told them I couldn’t join because of my overwhelming cowardice. 
[12]
A near hit! The dunk tank was a fund-raising event: each person donated $1 while throwing three balls at the button.
[13]
Who is this person? If only I knew.
[14]
Dr. Casey Blanton, Chair of Learning Communities and Humanities professor at QUANTA, and another gentleman whose name I can’t remember Bruce Cook, Assistant Dean of Student Activities department and co-adviser of the school newspaper, DSC In Motion (thanks Jennifer! 2008-11-17).
[15]
[16]
People other than me taking pictures! I always take pictures of people taking pictures.
[17]
[18]
[19]
More of Flota!
[20]
[21]
At last, Dr. Flota gets dunked! Dr. Blanton (above) is also one of the advisors for the Mu Rho chapter.
[22]
Our host, who blasted us with entertaining music.
[23]
Miss Cariann and friends, getting the word out for the American Medical Student Association. She was in QUANTA 24 (last year).

It was a fun event, lots of people shuffling about, great food and music. I got a couple hot dogs and some sodas. [2008-11-17: I'm a vegetarian [25] since October 1, so no more of this.] The only problem was the terrible heat! Too bad they couldn’t have done it indoors. The spring event (January) ought to be cooler.
