Welcome back to place where it all began: Sierra
Madre Hall, Tower 2-Africa
For those of you who were privileged
enough to have lived in my old tower, I bid you a fond welcome
back. It's been just about a year now since that faithful summer
of 99. Yes, indeed those were the good ol days when classes were
short, days were long, and a crazy RA named Timothy was intent
on making this the best and most unforgettable summer of your
young lives.
For those of you who were not as lucky
as my residents Tower 2-Africa was one of four residences within
the Sierra Madre dormitory complex housing Cal Poly students for
the summer of 1999. The theme for the entire hall that summer
was "Crusin' the World: Study Like it's 1999,"
a sort of pre-millennium tribute. In accordance with that
theme each tower was given a continental name with Tower 2 has
being designated the African tower. My partner in crime
during this faithful summer was a young lady named Mary-Catherine
(MC for short) and together as the Tower 2 resident advisors (RAs)
we did our best to make our residents first residential experience
in college one that they will never forget.
So whether you're returning
back here to stroll down memory lane or this is your first time
visiting, feel free to peruse through the different sections and
relive that magical summer.
