00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.679
Once again, I'm your host, and today, another episode of it.
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:35.359
It's been a little while, um, it's been actually a couple weeks since another episode came out because I've been sick, been traveling.
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:37.840
As you know, it's been a lot of work been going on in the office.
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.159
But uh today my guest is a coworker of mine, a student at Frankel Pierce University.
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:43.520
She's involved with a ton.
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.759
You might see her shooting some frisbee, right?
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:47.119
A little frisbee action.
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.880
And uh today's guest, Mia Kukaracha.
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:53.359
Mia, what's going on?
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:55.920
Hey Fitz, not not much.
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.079
Um yeah, no, not a crazy day today.
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:01.039
It was.
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:02.560
Well, we were really late, by the way.
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:04.319
We were very late today.
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.560
It was a crazy day with meeting.
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.000
Um one meeting.
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.000
One meeting that yes.
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:14.079
Um but um not much today.
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:15.280
What's going on with you?
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:16.079
A lot today.
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:17.840
I got to wake up early in the emissions office.
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:18.799
How early?
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:20.719
Alright, well, it's not that early.
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:25.599
I'm being dramatic, but like for work we have to travel to go to these schools, as you might know.
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.519
And I had to get there like 7 30.
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:29.680
How far away was the school?
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:30.879
Ten minutes.
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:32.400
Riot.
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:33.280
Ryan.
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:34.400
I don't know.
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.280
I don't listen, like, I I'm fine with getting up early.
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:37.760
I really am.
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.359
Like, it's not that big of a deal, especially like when playing football and everything.
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:48.959
Um, it was fine, but now it's just like getting up that early to go to school and then talk to kids about Frankl Pierce for a while.
00:01:49.120 --> 00:02:04.319
Um, I mean, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed I enjoyed doing that stuff, but then after I'm like uh But then you crashed in admissions pretty hard, so I was a little tired after I got back to admissions and uh I found a blanket and I cuddled up nice and nice.
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.159
Yes, you found a blanket and a pillow, you had your your your nap time.
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:09.759
I have my computer right next to me.
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:10.479
I was still doing this.
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:11.840
You were doing work.
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:13.919
Uh Nick took a picture of us.
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.159
Um Nick took a picture of me uh laying on the ground.
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:17.039
Did he really?
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:17.280
Yeah.
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:18.159
That's a funny thing.
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:19.199
That's really funny, actually.
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.520
Um but yeah, uh let me actually show you it, because it was it was a it was pretty interesting.
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.120
It's actually a very nice picture.
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.159
Um it's not the typical type of um laying down person type of picture.
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.080
It looks like laying down person?
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:33.360
Yeah, that's that's me.
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:35.360
Oh, with your feet on the chair, right?
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:36.639
No, right, of course.
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.039
Right after um right after uh getting back from work.
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.039
But yeah, it's been an okay day after that.
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:48.319
Um dealing with some students from high schools, getting them to come to Franklin Pierce.
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:49.439
How was that visit?
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:50.479
Was alright.
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.360
Conant in high school, uh great kids, lots of good kids.
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.800
Um went with Jordan who graduated from Conant, so that was nice.
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:03.039
But other than that, um I I just I like talking to kids and like I like talking to groups.
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:03.360
Yeah.
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:09.199
We presented in the beginnings, which was nice, but 745 presentation, the kids were not having it.
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:10.400
I wasn't having it.
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:12.879
But I I put on my brave face, I smile, you know?
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:13.360
Nice.
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:15.360
What do you talk about in the presentation?
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:16.800
Uh Frankly Pierce.
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.080
We talk about like um we have like a structured slideshow.
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.240
Basically, all of us show in the admissions office.
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:23.439
We show like the same thing.
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.080
Show the school, uh show the majors, talk about the majors, our relationship with the school.
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.840
I like to talk about my experiences the most because I just graduated from here.
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.479
So I'm big on talking about my experience.
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:40.000
And um basically just going through the majors we have.
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.240
Obviously, I had to get accustomed to the other majors because I'm not like those aren't my what was your major?
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:45.120
Sports media.
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:45.919
Okay.
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:47.039
And communications.
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:54.000
So like this like health sciences stuff, pfft, I don't know a thing about until I started working here.
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.120
And then I had to learn that, learn a couple of new languages of majors.
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.639
Um, not actual languages, but some of this stuff is more complicated than think.
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:01.599
What's your major?
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:06.319
Uh psychology, criminal justice, and then I have minors in political science and forensic psych.
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.080
So it's double major, double minor?
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:08.319
Yeah.
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:09.520
Why'd you want to do that?
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:19.519
Um, I came in with just a psychology major, but I want to be a body language analyst and work in FBI, CIA, something like that.
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:19.920
Right.
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.120
So I added criminal justice and then forensic psych pairs well with that.
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.120
And then political science.
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.160
I took a political science course and then I just added it.
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:31.040
You thought it was fun.
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:31.279
Yeah.
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:32.160
That's what I do with psychology.
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.879
Cohen emailed me and he was like, hey, you should add it.
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.279
And I was like, okay, I guess Cohen's the man.
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:37.439
Yeah.
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:38.480
He's the man.
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.319
Frank, that's a good guy right there.
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.199
Um, so you were just like, Yeah, let me double, let me double it up.
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:43.759
Essentially.
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:44.879
Yeah, that's what happened with me.
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.680
Like I I was taking psychology classes for fun as electives.
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:48.000
Yeah.
00:04:48.240 --> 00:05:01.519
Because I was a sports, I guess sports media communications, but my after taking a f a lot of courses in psychology for fun, uh, my uh advisor Buddington, who was in the office tonight, she's like, You have enough credits to almost minor in this my junior year.
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:02.800
And I was like, Alright, add it on.
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.120
Added it on, and now I have a double minor.
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.759
So um graduated with it just a year ago.
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:08.879
Don't graduate from here.
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:09.920
It's the worst thing ever.
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.720
That was essentially what I did with um forensic psych.
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:13.120
Yeah.
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.839
I don't have to take any extra classes for it.
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.120
I just kind of have to maneuver what classes I was going to take.
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:19.519
Right.
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:29.439
Because of um political science, psych, and criminal justice, they all overlap enough to where I was able to add it on without actually adding on any credits.
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:30.160
Nice.
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:31.279
Alright, that's pretty good.
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:39.839
And do you have to take you feel like you have to take it's like more extra work, or you were just already on that pace, you might as well get more credits or kind of just already on that pace.
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.319
Um I'm a part of the honors program too.
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:50.560
So um I don't know, I kind of just kept adding stuff as I as I went along the past year and a half.
00:05:50.879 --> 00:06:01.439
Um so yeah, I mean, more work in terms of planning my classes, but the classes themselves, like my credit requirements and whatnot, didn't change crazy.
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:02.480
That's pretty cool.
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:04.639
That's that's what I found myself in too.
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:11.040
Um yeah, like you said, it just takes a little more effort in picking your glasses because then you have to pick specific ones, make sure you have the right ones.
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:12.399
Um, which I understand.
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:17.519
But um you all not only do all that schoolwork, all that stuff, but you have you're you're pretty busy on campus.
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:18.560
You keep yourself busy.
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.120
You you like I said, the frisbee stuff before you work in admissions, I think you work in another job too, a library calf.
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:27.519
I do, not the library calf, but I'm a reference assistant for the library.
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:28.399
Oh, library.
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:28.959
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:30.800
Got half of that right, 50-50.
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:36.800
Um, so yeah, how do you what what got you into that stuff being part of the you know, multiple jobs on campus type feel?
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.040
Um Jordan got me into admissions, actually.
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.560
Um she just kind of told me that I should work in admissions, so I applied.
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:50.639
And then um I applied to the library second semester last year.
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.120
Honestly, just because I wanted more money.
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.199
I wanted something else to do on campus.
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:55.600
Yeah.
00:06:55.920 --> 00:07:06.720
Um, so that gets me like eight hours a week where I can help people, but also like I have some time to do homework and organize what I need to do for the week.
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.519
Um yeah, I don't know.
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:10.639
I like to stay busy.
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.399
I feel like when I'm not busy, I have a hard time being productive.
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:14.800
Yeah.
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:23.600
So kind of being able to structure my day and both the library specifically reference and admissions close at four.
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.319
So no matter what, my day ends at four, which is nice.
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:26.959
What do you do?
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.279
What do you find yourself doing after four o'clock?
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.600
Um Frisbee.
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:32.319
Yeah.
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:37.360
As well as um me and a couple other people just started Critter Club.
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:38.399
Critter Club.
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:39.920
Um interesting.
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:50.160
Yeah, essentially we want to be able to um like find different bugs and quote unquote critters across campus.
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:51.680
Hey, shut up.
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.680
Um, and just be able to learn more about them, help educate people about them.
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.360
So you find like gross ones and you're like learn about it.
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:00.240
Sure.
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:02.240
Um, we haven't yet.
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:03.519
But you that's the plan.
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.360
But yeah, that is kind of the plan.
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:06.879
Slimy little thing.
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:08.480
Not like slugs.
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:10.079
That's what I think of.
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:10.720
I think of bugs.
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:12.160
What do you think of when you think of bugs?
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:13.439
I don't think slugs.
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:15.120
I think bugs.
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:15.680
Yeah.
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:17.920
Butterflies, fireflies, okay.
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:18.879
Those are the coolest ones.
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:19.920
Spiders.
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:21.199
I actually hate spiders.
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:21.600
Exactly.
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:23.759
But that is one of the ones that we were looking into.
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:25.439
You ever get bit by one?
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.040
Yeah, a lot.
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:28.480
What's like the worst one?
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.240
Like the tarantulas are huge.
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:31.759
Tarantulas suck.
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:36.480
My cousin used to have like eight tarantulas, and I had arachnophobia as a child.
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.480
So arachnophobia is fair.
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:39.519
Fair of spiders, yeah.
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.279
I think my brother has that, honestly.
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:42.399
It's not fun.
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.279
Um, my aunt brought me to a museum once.
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.279
It was the Boston Museum.
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:47.519
Yeah.
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.600
Um, and they were doing a spider exhibit, and I ran out of it.
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:52.720
Where are you from?
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:53.919
Uh, Derry, New Hampshire.
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:54.559
Derry, New Hampshire.
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:55.279
Oh, you're a local.
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:56.080
Oh, not too local.
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:57.279
You went to Pinkerton Academy.
00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:58.080
Oh, that's right.
00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:58.720
We went over this.
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:00.480
So you went you stayed in New Hampshire.
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.120
Was it a big motivation to come to Franklin's to stay in New Hampshire?
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.360
Um, not necessarily to stay in New Hampshire, but like to be at a smaller school.
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:07.600
Yeah.
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:14.879
Because Pinkerton has almost 4,000 kids and not my style of learning in the slightest.
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:19.120
I uh honestly didn't do amazing in high school just because I had no control.
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:19.679
Yeah.
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:27.840
Um, so being able to come here and like having that community, being like knowing that my voice was gonna be heard was such a big factor.
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:28.320
Exactly.
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:29.360
That's a big reason I came here.
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.440
I mean, I didn't even realize the whole voice being heard thing.
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.519
I didn't realize until about like a year or two ago.
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:46.799
But um but coming here into the small classroom environment, I mean, you're from obviously you're from New Hampshire, which is not known for a lot of people being around, but Pinkerton, as you mentioned, it's the biggest pu it's the biggest school in in New Hampshire, biggest uh high school in New Hampshire.
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.960
It's also technically the largest private school in America, I believe.
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:56.879
Because it's owned privately, but um if you're within five towns, you go to it.
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:58.879
So it's not really private.
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:00.559
But is it like technically?
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.840
Is it like you're paying for a private school or is it like through taxes?
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:06.799
Like uh if you live within the five towns taxes, yeah.
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:15.679
If you like lived in a random town that wasn't part of it, you would pay for it, but otherwise, um it's part of taxes and whatnot.
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.399
Yeah, that's how it was back at home in Long Island.
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.600
We like like I was saying, it's there's a ton of people down there too.
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:22.399
Like people were everywhere.
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:27.759
Maybe the classrooms weren't as big uh at the Rocky Point High School that I went to, but um there's still a lot going on.
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:36.080
A lot of people around you, not just at in school, but just otherwise outside of school, just people everywhere at work and everything, and then coming here is a good transition.
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:36.399
Yeah.
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:42.720
Just going into the smaller classrooms, getting that uh idolized time with your professors, that uh that helped me a ton too.
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:50.960
So uh yeah, and you're here, but um, you got away from your brother that does the t uh the the spider stuff to you, you said, or your aunt cousin?
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.759
Um no, my aunt brought me to the spider museum.
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.399
But she had good intentions, she forgot that I had arachnophobia.
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.879
Um how crazy is arachnophobia?
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:01.840
Is it like so?
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:03.360
I'm not arachnophobic?
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.919
I don't know if that's the right tense for that word, but I'm not that afraid of spiders anymore.
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:12.480
Um but like I used to go to a lake house every summer.
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:17.919
Yeah, and there was one summer like um a part of the wall was lined with daddy long legs.
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.200
I refuse to go in the house because I wouldn't walk past them.
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:22.320
I mean, they're gross.
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.320
I wouldn't want them to be gross.
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:24.960
Oh my god.
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:31.039
Not like I'm not thinking like everyone's growing up, they're like, hey, you're bigger than the thing, but no, I don't want that thing crawling on me.
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:32.240
I don't want it touching me.
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:34.240
No, especially they move fast.
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.679
Oh, see, now you're f now now like the thought of that kind of freaks me out.
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.039
They could be anywhere at all times.
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.519
It's not a big spider spot I've noticed.
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.720
No, this isn't, which is surprising because we're in the middle of the woods.
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.279
But I also haven't noticed very many spiders.
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:51.759
Yeah, growing up I had a Vermont house and now it was a big spider spot.
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.200
Huge sp huge spiders in general, big ants, all that stuff.
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:57.919
Um, I mean ants, I don't know, but I mean you do what do you like?
00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:59.840
Ants with your with your club that you got?
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.799
Yeah, we want to start a um ant farm.
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:04.639
Um fair.
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:08.399
I mean ants are cool, I guess, but they're not red or fire ants or something like that.
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:08.960
I don't even know.
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.480
Yeah, we don't want we don't want like ants that'll hurt you.
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:19.039
Um and we're working with President Eden, but we're still in the very early stages of everything.
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:25.679
So we're still working out um what we'd be able to do and like what the timeline is for everything.
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.000
The club just kind of got started at the beginning of the semester.
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.200
So cool.
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:31.679
I don't know.
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.320
I don't I'm Tormsine saying it's cool or disgusting.
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:38.799
It's kind of like a I mean, like honestly, it is an acquired taste, you can't lie.
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:40.080
No, it definitely is.
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:49.840
I've um uh as Fitz said before, I'm a tour guide and I've mentioned it a few times on tour, and it definitely has been a turnoff most of the times that I've said it.
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:51.919
Don't say that to my kids.
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:59.840
I'll I'll be like, oh yeah, so there's a lot of different um ways to start clubs and you know, a lot of different activities you can join.
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:05.600
I and a couple of my friends started Critter Club, and all of the parents are very grossed out.
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:17.919
Um, but part of what we also want to do is kind of create awareness to um invasive species and like protect um potentially endangered species that might be around us.
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.480
So really anything we can do to help the wildlife around us.
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.279
Yeah, it's fair.
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:23.759
Yeah.
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:30.720
So less about um your creepy gross slugs and more about protecting the environment.
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:31.679
Okay, you know what?
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:33.120
I'll give you that because that's pretty cool.
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.480
And um honestly, people don't know a bullet enough about that stuff.
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:41.679
Like, like I said, I I I hear critters or bugs or whatever, and I get grossed out.
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:42.320
But um, yeah.
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.480
Do you work with Doug Hardy too to get that stuff started?
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:45.840
Or are you talking about President Eden?
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.000
Primarily it's been President Eden.
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.720
As I said before, we're still in the early stages of it.
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:51.200
Yeah.
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:57.200
Um, but we're hoping to get involved with Doug Cardi and kind of be able to plan some stuff.
00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:01.919
But um, yeah, everything is still very in the works.
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:02.559
Nice.
00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:05.200
And you talked a little bit about how you give tours.
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.200
So you work in emissions.
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.120
Um talk to me about your job.
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.279
I mean, today you had an annoying meeting that made us very late.
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.200
Sorry to the live listeners out there.
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:14.879
Four o'clock usually start with a little bit.
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.960
Also, I apologize if Brie, Corey, or Nick are part of the live listeners.
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:19.759
They're not.
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:20.879
They'll be fine.
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.000
They'll get over it.
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:23.759
They will they will accept it.
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:25.120
It took forever.
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:28.080
So tell me about your job though in emissions, because it's fun working in there.
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:28.879
Uh it's a good environment.
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:29.759
A lot of people in the world.
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:30.720
It is a good environment.
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:31.360
For sure.
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:32.639
So, yeah, tell me about it.
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:43.759
Um, yeah, so there's some office work, some uh packing accept packets for accepted students, a lot of taking potential students out on tour.
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:51.679
Um, also, if any sports teams bring in students, either as recruit or a part of the overnights that they do, we'll take them out.
00:14:51.919 --> 00:15:08.720
Um and then myself and Nick Fish are also student managers, and we're just coming into this role, so we're um kind of beginning to start planning things for other student ambassadors, um, setting schedules and whatnot.
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:11.919
So, yeah, definitely a learning curve, but a welcome one.
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:13.679
Yeah, and what do you think the hardest part is?
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:15.759
Because you know, you give it tours and everything.
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:19.360
I I kind of don't like giving tours because my job's different.
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:25.120
My job's obviously meeting with families after the tours and talking to them about Franklier and everything like that, but walking them around.
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:28.559
I know sometimes there's like could be awkward silences where you're walking.
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:28.960
I don't know.
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:34.399
I don't I don't know how I feel about that, but uh what do you think your least favorite part of uh giving tours at least is?
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.840
My least favorite part.
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:36.960
You get nervous?
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.440
Um, I don't think I get nervous anymore.
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.679
Honestly, it's also helped with like public speaking.
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:42.399
Oh 100%.
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:46.799
I really don't feel uncomfortable talking to like a random group of people anymore.
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:47.279
Yeah.
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:53.120
Um, but I'd say my least favorite part is like if the students aren't engaged.
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:59.600
I've taken a couple tours where um the students just aren't super involved in the process.
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:08.080
And even if they want to go to college and they want to do whatever career they want to do, if they're not like, oh, what are the dorms looking like?
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:12.000
What are um like the activities you have on campus?
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.120
If they're not engaged, the tour isn't gonna go as well.
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:15.519
Right.
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:26.399
So um I mean, even if the parents are engaged, which it's always welcome that they are engaged, but the students kind of being at the forefront, it always makes it the best.
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.519
And so you like you like the tours, you like the public speaking sport.
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:32.480
Yeah, I am definitely a people person.
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:38.639
I like kind of putting myself out there, getting all the um information and seeming personable to people.
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.519
So yeah, I like giving tours.
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:49.360
You mentioned talking uh working now, starting out a direct role with Nick Fish, a buddy of a very good buddy of mine, as you might be able to tell.
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:50.799
You're making a face already.
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:52.480
Um I mean he's been on this podcast.
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.480
Nick Fish was the one who took the photo earlier of Ryan laying on the floor.
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:58.159
Yes, that's my buddy Nick.
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.600
Um what was your like we're pretty loud in the office.
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:03.279
We we like to talk a lot.
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.359
Um what's your what's your initial um what's the word I'm looking for?
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.960
What was your initial like uh reaction?
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:11.599
Perspective?
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.200
Perspective, maybe uh opinion on us, like in the office.
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:17.119
Right when you met us right away.
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:19.440
Um hmm.
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:21.039
That's interesting.
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:22.079
I'm not sure.
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:23.680
Honestly, I just thought you were loud.
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:24.240
That's it.
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:36.160
Um no, you weren't annoying just because like it wasn't um an unwelcome distraction.
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.920
It was always quite entertaining.
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:38.319
Okay.
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.119
Um, so I'll give you that.
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:46.480
Also, I feel like admissions has always been a very communicative place.
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:51.039
Um you know, we're all tour guides and or counselors.
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:52.319
We all like talking to each other.
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.920
Yes, we're all a very social bunch.
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:04.079
Um so I more thought it was interesting that you had that dynamic in the office, but not that you had that dynamic.
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:09.920
Yeah, I was there before all of them, but I stayed on my side of the office for a while, which was like where the you know the adults stay.
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:20.240
Yeah, where the like real people, but ever since like now Nick got a job, Cole got a job in there, I was like, I have to just go over there and work.
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:21.599
Because I hate sitting in my office.
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:23.519
I mean, come on, what like what do you like better?
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:29.599
You taking people out, talking to families, or sitting in the office, sitting there and maybe doing some work on the computer.
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.880
No, I will say for sure, like being able to talk to everyone is much nicer.
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:44.319
Some of like the best office days have been like when you and Madsy and everyone else is in there and we're all just kind of screwing around, yeah.
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:46.880
I miss Lily so much.
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:51.359
I saw her walking to class earlier, I ran out of admissions and I went, Lily.
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:58.079
Yeah, she's she's back down at uh Student Financial Services, but uh yeah, it it's a nice spot over there.
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:02.079
So um all right, going outside of that, we talked a little bit about you being from Pinkerton.
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.720
Obviously the pe a lot of people aspect over there, right?
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:07.519
And um what's it like growing up there in general?
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:15.119
I mean, you're on the what east very east side of of not too much of the east side of uh New Hampshire, southeast, but um what's it like growing up there?
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.799
Is it um little too like spread out, you think?
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:20.000
Like what what's it like?
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:28.000
I I think the um landscape is a lot better than here.
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:35.279
Not as far as like of course here we have the mountain and the lake, um, but there's a lot more like people and things to do.
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:37.759
The town I live in is kind of closer to Keene.
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:40.400
Um or like closer to the setup of Keene.
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:43.119
Um where there's like more shops.
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:43.599
I don't know.
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:45.359
I end up going to the beach a lot in the summer.
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:46.720
There's beaches over there.
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:48.799
Uh it's about half an hour from my house.
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:49.359
Okay.
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.079
Um as opposed to two hours from here.
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:53.279
Yes.
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:53.759
Oh, okay.
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:57.599
I also live in a town with a lake, so I'll end up going to the lake a lot too.
00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.400
A lot of lake time.
00:19:58.720 --> 00:19:58.880
Yes.
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.440
Um, yeah, I grew up swimming a lot, so um.
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:06.400
But yeah, I don't know.
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:07.359
I like it a lot.
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.480
There's um still a lot of woods.
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:11.839
I mean, it's still New Hampshire.
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:17.359
Um the general scenery doesn't change much, it's just a bit more populated than Ringe.
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:22.160
So um, but I mean that was part of what drew me to Ringe too for school.
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.440
Just because you know, I love being at home and seeing all of my high school friends and whatnot.
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:34.160
But kind of being able to be here and be in a more isolated space where I could focus was definitely important to me.
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:34.799
For sure.
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:37.680
Yeah, you probably met some of your good friends from here as well, right?
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:39.519
Like very important people to you.
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:40.720
Um same thing with me.
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:42.720
Um yeah, it's good to have that switch up.
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:45.359
But um being from pain, do you have any siblings at all?
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:46.000
I do.
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:51.279
I have a um brother who's about to turn thirteen and a sister who's four.
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:52.640
So you're nineteen, right?
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:53.039
Yes.
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:54.319
Whoa, that's a big spread.
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:55.759
That's uh wide spread.
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:56.400
You're the oldest?
00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:57.200
I am the oldest.
00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:57.920
Of three.
00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:58.240
Mm-hmm.
00:20:58.400 --> 00:20:59.279
I'm the youngest of three.
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:04.160
And I have a brother that's nine years older, and a sister that's five years older, so it's a little different.
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:07.599
What's it like being older, especially for 15 years older?
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:10.319
Yes, fifteen years between me and my sister.
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:14.160
Um it's definitely an adjustment.
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:16.640
Um when she was born.
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:19.680
Yes, I was a junior uh sophomore in high school.
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:26.960
Um I mean with my brother, I kind of don't really remember a time before him.
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:28.400
I had just turned seven when he was born.
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:30.559
Right, so it's like one sibling.
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:31.119
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:51.440
So like I in psychology, um in my in my pivotal childhood um moments, I guess I was an only child, but um then he was born, and then when I was fifteen, my sister was born, and um she kind of just feels like a like a mini child to me.
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:57.279
Every time I go home, my mom goes, Here, take your baby, and she um my sister comes over.
00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:59.759
So I mean she's she's up and walking and everything.
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:03.279
Yes, older than my niece.
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:03.839
That's crazy.
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:05.519
I mean, I'm the youngest, so it's a lot different.
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.039
What's it like being the oldest?
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:08.640
It's gotta be like a power trip.
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:13.359
You definitely have a power trip, especially being six years older than your closest sibling.
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:15.519
I d I rage bait a lot.
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.240
You're still worse than I okay.
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:21.359
In fairness, my brother is a lot worse than me.
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:23.039
That gets possible.
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:24.319
He's a brother.
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:24.640
Okay.
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:27.359
I promise you you are worse than your sister.
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:28.400
Sure.
00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:29.440
I I promise you.
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.359
Kate, if you're listening, don't listen.
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:35.359
She's in Japan, she's far.
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.160
I don't think I don't think the radio reaches that far.
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.079
Um podcast platform does.
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:40.960
Oh, that's true.
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:42.079
Plug, plug.
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:44.640
But um, yeah, I don't know.
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:49.680
I feel like I have a very maternal relationship with my sister where I want to take care of her.
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.880
Um she had a lot of health issues when she was born.
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:53.200
Okay.
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.359
Um that were, you know, very complicated.
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:02.160
So I definitely view her as like, like, oh, that's my little girl.
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:05.519
And then I view my brother as he's a brat.
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:05.759
Yeah.
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:06.160
Yeah.
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.880
Yeah, that's just a good thing.
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:12.240
So um I have a very different relationship with the two of them.
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:12.720
Yeah.
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:14.000
You have like I I don't know.
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:23.440
Uh being the youngest, I feel like I just got picked on growing up, and then but uh when I got time to where I was like old enough to have my own thing, I was like, alright, I'm I'm the man now.
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:24.400
Screw what you guys.
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:25.839
Um man, I got it.
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:27.599
That's how um that's how my boyfriend feels.
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:28.799
He's the youngest of six.
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:29.359
Whoa.
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:34.640
Uh so he's 22, but his oldest sibling is almost forty.
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:46.799
Um, so he didn't get picked on a bunch as a child, and he almost wishes he did, but um there's kind of a little bit of like you have to get picked on.
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:47.519
I know.
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:51.119
It's it's it's definitely uh important event.
00:23:51.359 --> 00:24:01.519
Well, because his siblings are so protective of him, and he'll try to shoot the shit, and th they'll be like, No, Daniel, you need to get a job.
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:05.039
Like they're they they want him to be so prepared, which is lovely.
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:09.119
Yeah um because they do care that much about like you know his future.
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:09.599
Yeah.
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:19.119
Um, but he never he didn't get bullied, I think, as much as um at least you did, it sounds like it's important.
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:20.240
But um, I don't know.
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:24.319
My favorite memory being young was getting over that hump and being like, Alright, you know what?
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:26.000
I'm not too bad of myself.
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:27.279
I'm a grown-up.
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:28.079
I'm an adult.
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:29.839
What's your favorite part about being the oldest part?
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.400
What what's like a favorite memory of being like, yeah, I'm the oldest?
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:35.359
And I don't know, like obviously your sister being so young.
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:39.519
I mean, what was the point where you're like, Yeah, screw you, little brother.
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:50.079
Well, so I was there when my brother was born, um, which was definitely I mean I was only seven, but I was like, oh my god, like I feel like a person, even though I was nowhere close.
00:24:50.400 --> 00:25:02.400
Um, but I think right before coming to college, I we went up to um my stepdad's boss's lake house for the week.
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.559
Um, and I kind of freaked out one night.
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:08.720
I was like, oh my god, I'm so scared to go to college.
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:10.160
I don't know what I'm doing.
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:14.799
I'm a very like high anxiety person, so I think it all got to me.
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:21.920
Um, and I kind of had a good cry it out with my brother, and we were able to talk things out.
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:28.799
Um, I mean, we never had any issues before, but kind of just saying, like, oh, we're gonna miss each other, but it'll be okay.
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:39.119
Like, I'm a very family-oriented person, so really being able to um feel comfortable leaving kind of made me feel like a grown-up.
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:43.200
Um and like I like I had a solid footing in myself, yeah.
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:43.839
100%.
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:51.359
I mean, do do you think like you're more family-oriented because you're from like the place where you're from or the type of way you got raised?
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:54.000
Um, I think it's both.
00:25:54.720 --> 00:26:00.240
Um, I'm the oldest daughter from an oldest daughter from an oldest daughter.
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.079
So kind of just throughout my family.
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:07.920
I mean, my mom is very responsible, my grandmother is the same way.
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:08.640
Gotcha.
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:17.680
Um, so really just having that dynamic, but also the my mom's side of my family is pretty big.
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:23.440
My uh grandparents on my dad's side, my grandmother's one of twelve, and my grandfather's one of nine.
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.279
So I we were always surrounded in a bunch of family.
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:30.000
Um family reunions went crazy.
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:31.279
So I don't know.
00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:39.759
I feel like being able to grow up surrounded by family, but also like being the oldest daughter, kind of just having that space.
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:41.039
That's good stuff.
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:41.599
Yeah.
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:44.480
And uh kucarachas, all the kucarachas.
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:46.799
Am I saying that right?
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:51.200
Um, are you trying to say my last name or are you trying to say kochiara or uh kucaracha?
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:52.160
Is it cuchiaro?
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:54.400
Cuchiaro.
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:54.720
Okay.
00:26:54.880 --> 00:27:00.000
Well, I introduced Mia as cucaracha, but um I I I don't know if that's her last name or not.
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:02.000
I actually I don't mind it.
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:08.240
I've had enough I I've had you and uh Cole call me kukaracha enough across campus.
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:08.720
True.
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:14.240
During the um high school tours last week, yeah, I think it was Koning that came down.
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:21.279
I was giving a tour and I saw Cole and he goes, Kukaracha! And all of the kids went, Why did he say that to you?
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:27.440
And I was like, Oh, it's because there was one time he couldn't pronounce my name, and he goes, No, your name is Cucaracha.
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:28.160
Yeah, it is.
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:30.480
Um so I've just I've accepted it.
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:32.880
And we're gonna keep working towards getting Linda to say it.
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:35.920
Yeah, the the end goal is to get Linda to say it.
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:36.799
That's it right there.
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:38.799
Um that's what you gotta do.
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:41.119
You've already gotten Jordan to say it.
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:43.119
I don't think you're gonna get Bree to say it.
00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:44.319
It'll it'll don't worry.
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:48.640
I think I think Brie might be a tougher sell than Linda just because I talk to Bree more.
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:49.200
True.
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:51.759
But you could for sure get Heather.
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:52.319
Yeah.
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:53.680
And probably Rich.
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:54.960
I don't know.
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:56.000
Rich is too old school.
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:56.480
I don't even know.
00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:57.599
But what about Paul?
00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.640
Paul would say it.
00:27:58.880 --> 00:27:59.039
Yeah.
00:27:59.279 --> 00:27:59.759
Paul would say it.
00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:00.079
Yeah.
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:01.440
I think you could get Paul.
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:03.599
Um, he's probably your next step.
00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:06.640
Um yeah.
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:07.440
Yeah.
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:09.039
Well, we're gonna keep working on that.
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:12.960
We got a little bit of a scoop of the admissions office on the student side of things, which I really liked.
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:17.279
And uh you know, I'm I'm looking forward to really working with you still with me, yeah, for the next, you know, whatever.
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:17.680
Whatever.

I'm glad we got this talk about this.
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:29.200
I asked you today to do this, and you were all up in arms.
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:30.720
You were a little late, but we'll get over that.
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:32.960
It was not my fault that I was late.
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:38.000
But I'm glad we did this, and uh I'm glad all of you joined us as well.

00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:44.079
Um no.
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:47.279
I I don't think I have any last remarks.
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:50.880

It's been a little while, um, it's been actually a couple weeks since another episode came out because I've been sick, been traveling.

She's involved with a ton.

You might see her shooting some frisbee, right?
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:47.119
A little frisbee action.

Hey Fitz, not not much.
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.079
Um yeah, no, not a crazy day today.
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:01.039
It was.
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:02.560
Well, we were really late, by the way.
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:04.319
We were very late today.
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.560
It was a crazy day with meeting.
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.000
Um one meeting.
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.000
One meeting that yes.
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:14.079
Um but um not much today.
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:15.280
What's going on with you?
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:16.079
A lot today.
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:17.840
I got to wake up early in the emissions office.
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:18.799
How early?
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:20.719
Alright, well, it's not that early.
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:25.599
I'm being dramatic, but like for work we have to travel to go to these schools, as you might know.
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.519
And I had to get there like 7 30.
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:29.680
How far away was the school?
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:30.879
Ten minutes.
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:32.400
Riot.
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:33.280
Ryan.
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:34.400
I don't know.
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.280
I don't listen, like, I I'm fine with getting up early.
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:37.760
I really am.
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.359
Like, it's not that big of a deal, especially like when playing football and everything.
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:48.959
Um, it was fine, but now it's just like getting up that early to go to school and then talk to kids about Frankl Pierce for a while.
00:01:49.120 --> 00:02:04.319
Um, I mean, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed I enjoyed doing that stuff, but then after I'm like uh But then you crashed in admissions pretty hard, so I was a little tired after I got back to admissions and uh I found a blanket and I cuddled up nice and nice.
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.159
Yes, you found a blanket and a pillow, you had your your your nap time.
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:09.759
I have my computer right next to me.
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:10.479
I was still doing this.
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:11.840
You were doing work.
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:13.919
Uh Nick took a picture of us.
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.159
Um Nick took a picture of me uh laying on the ground.
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:17.039
Did he really?
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:17.280
Yeah.
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:18.159
That's a funny thing.
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:19.199
That's really funny, actually.
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.520
Um but yeah, uh let me actually show you it, because it was it was a it was pretty interesting.
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.120
It's actually a very nice picture.
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.159
Um it's not the typical type of um laying down person type of picture.
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.080
It looks like laying down person?
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:33.360
Yeah, that's that's me.
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:35.360
Oh, with your feet on the chair, right?
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:36.639
No, right, of course.
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.039
Right after um right after uh getting back from work.
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.039
But yeah, it's been an okay day after that.
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:48.319
Um dealing with some students from high schools, getting them to come to Franklin Pierce.
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:49.439
How was that visit?
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:50.479
Was alright.
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.360
Conant in high school, uh great kids, lots of good kids.
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.800
Um went with Jordan who graduated from Conant, so that was nice.
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:03.039
But other than that, um I I just I like talking to kids and like I like talking to groups.
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:03.360
Yeah.
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:09.199
We presented in the beginnings, which was nice, but 745 presentation, the kids were not having it.
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:10.400
I wasn't having it.
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:12.879
But I I put on my brave face, I smile, you know?
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:13.360
Nice.
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:15.360
What do you talk about in the presentation?
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:16.800
Uh Frankly Pierce.
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.080
We talk about like um we have like a structured slideshow.
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.240
Basically, all of us show in the admissions office.
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:23.439
We show like the same thing.
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.080
Show the school, uh show the majors, talk about the majors, our relationship with the school.
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.840
I like to talk about my experiences the most because I just graduated from here.
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.479
So I'm big on talking about my experience.
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:40.000
And um basically just going through the majors we have.
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.240
Obviously, I had to get accustomed to the other majors because I'm not like those aren't my what was your major?
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:45.120
Sports media.
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:45.919
Okay.
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:47.039
And communications.
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:54.000
So like this like health sciences stuff, pfft, I don't know a thing about until I started working here.
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.120
And then I had to learn that, learn a couple of new languages of majors.
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.639
Um, not actual languages, but some of this stuff is more complicated than think.
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:01.599
What's your major?
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:06.319
Uh psychology, criminal justice, and then I have minors in political science and forensic psych.
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.080
So it's double major, double minor?
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:08.319
Yeah.
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:09.520
Why'd you want to do that?
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:19.519
Um, I came in with just a psychology major, but I want to be a body language analyst and work in FBI, CIA, something like that.
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:19.920
Right.
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.120
So I added criminal justice and then forensic psych pairs well with that.
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.120
And then political science.
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.160
I took a political science course and then I just added it.
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:31.040
You thought it was fun.
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:31.279
Yeah.
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:32.160
That's what I do with psychology.
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.879
Cohen emailed me and he was like, hey, you should add it.
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.279
And I was like, okay, I guess Cohen's the man.
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:37.439
Yeah.
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:38.480
He's the man.
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.319
Frank, that's a good guy right there.
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.199
Um, so you were just like, Yeah, let me double, let me double it up.
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:43.759
Essentially.
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:44.879
Yeah, that's what happened with me.
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.680
Like I I was taking psychology classes for fun as electives.
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:48.000
Yeah.
00:04:48.240 --> 00:05:01.519
Because I was a sports, I guess sports media communications, but my after taking a f a lot of courses in psychology for fun, uh, my uh advisor Buddington, who was in the office tonight, she's like, You have enough credits to almost minor in this my junior year.
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:02.800
And I was like, Alright, add it on.
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.120
Added it on, and now I have a double minor.
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.759
So um graduated with it just a year ago.
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:08.879
Don't graduate from here.
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:09.920
It's the worst thing ever.
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.720
That was essentially what I did with um forensic psych.
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:13.120
Yeah.
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.839
I don't have to take any extra classes for it.
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.120
I just kind of have to maneuver what classes I was going to take.
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:19.519
Right.
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:29.439
Because of um political science, psych, and criminal justice, they all overlap enough to where I was able to add it on without actually adding on any credits.
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:30.160
Nice.
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:31.279
Alright, that's pretty good.
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:39.839
And do you have to take you feel like you have to take it's like more extra work, or you were just already on that pace, you might as well get more credits or kind of just already on that pace.
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.319
Um I'm a part of the honors program too.
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:50.560
So um I don't know, I kind of just kept adding stuff as I as I went along the past year and a half.
00:05:50.879 --> 00:06:01.439
Um so yeah, I mean, more work in terms of planning my classes, but the classes themselves, like my credit requirements and whatnot, didn't change crazy.
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:02.480
That's pretty cool.
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:04.639
That's that's what I found myself in too.
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:11.040
Um yeah, like you said, it just takes a little more effort in picking your glasses because then you have to pick specific ones, make sure you have the right ones.
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:12.399
Um, which I understand.
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:17.519
But um you all not only do all that schoolwork, all that stuff, but you have you're you're pretty busy on campus.
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:18.560
You keep yourself busy.
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.120
You you like I said, the frisbee stuff before you work in admissions, I think you work in another job too, a library calf.
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:27.519
I do, not the library calf, but I'm a reference assistant for the library.
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:28.399
Oh, library.
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:28.959
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:30.800
Got half of that right, 50-50.
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:36.800
Um, so yeah, how do you what what got you into that stuff being part of the you know, multiple jobs on campus type feel?
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.040
Um Jordan got me into admissions, actually.
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.560
Um she just kind of told me that I should work in admissions, so I applied.
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:50.639
And then um I applied to the library second semester last year.
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.120
Honestly, just because I wanted more money.
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.199
I wanted something else to do on campus.
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:55.600
Yeah.
00:06:55.920 --> 00:07:06.720
Um, so that gets me like eight hours a week where I can help people, but also like I have some time to do homework and organize what I need to do for the week.
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.519
Um yeah, I don't know.
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:10.639
I like to stay busy.
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.399
I feel like when I'm not busy, I have a hard time being productive.
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:14.800
Yeah.
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:23.600
So kind of being able to structure my day and both the library specifically reference and admissions close at four.
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.319
So no matter what, my day ends at four, which is nice.
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:26.959
What do you do?
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.279
What do you find yourself doing after four o'clock?
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.600
Um Frisbee.
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:32.319
Yeah.
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:37.360
As well as um me and a couple other people just started Critter Club.
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:38.399
Critter Club.
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:39.920
Um interesting.
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:50.160
Yeah, essentially we want to be able to um like find different bugs and quote unquote critters across campus.
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:51.680
Hey, shut up.
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.680
Um, and just be able to learn more about them, help educate people about them.
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.360
So you find like gross ones and you're like learn about it.
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:00.240
Sure.
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:02.240
Um, we haven't yet.
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:03.519
But you that's the plan.
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.360
But yeah, that is kind of the plan.
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:06.879
Slimy little thing.
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:08.480
Not like slugs.
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:10.079
That's what I think of.
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:10.720
I think of bugs.
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:12.160
What do you think of when you think of bugs?
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:13.439
I don't think slugs.
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:15.120
I think bugs.
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:15.680
Yeah.
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:17.920
Butterflies, fireflies, okay.
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:18.879
Those are the coolest ones.
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:19.920
Spiders.
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:21.199
I actually hate spiders.
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:21.600
Exactly.
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:23.759
But that is one of the ones that we were looking into.
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:25.439
You ever get bit by one?
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.040
Yeah, a lot.
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:28.480
What's like the worst one?
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.240
Like the tarantulas are huge.
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:31.759
Tarantulas suck.
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:36.480
My cousin used to have like eight tarantulas, and I had arachnophobia as a child.
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.480
So arachnophobia is fair.
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:39.519
Fair of spiders, yeah.
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.279
I think my brother has that, honestly.
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:42.399
It's not fun.
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.279
Um, my aunt brought me to a museum once.
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.279
It was the Boston Museum.
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:47.519
Yeah.
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.600
Um, and they were doing a spider exhibit, and I ran out of it.
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:52.720
Where are you from?
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:53.919
Uh, Derry, New Hampshire.
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:54.559
Derry, New Hampshire.
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:55.279
Oh, you're a local.
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:56.080
Oh, not too local.
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:57.279
You went to Pinkerton Academy.
00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:58.080
Oh, that's right.
00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:58.720
We went over this.
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:00.480
So you went you stayed in New Hampshire.
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.120
Was it a big motivation to come to Franklin's to stay in New Hampshire?
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.360
Um, not necessarily to stay in New Hampshire, but like to be at a smaller school.
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:07.600
Yeah.
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:14.879
Because Pinkerton has almost 4,000 kids and not my style of learning in the slightest.
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:19.120
I uh honestly didn't do amazing in high school just because I had no control.
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:19.679
Yeah.
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:27.840
Um, so being able to come here and like having that community, being like knowing that my voice was gonna be heard was such a big factor.
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:28.320
Exactly.
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:29.360
That's a big reason I came here.
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.440
I mean, I didn't even realize the whole voice being heard thing.
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.519
I didn't realize until about like a year or two ago.
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:46.799
But um but coming here into the small classroom environment, I mean, you're from obviously you're from New Hampshire, which is not known for a lot of people being around, but Pinkerton, as you mentioned, it's the biggest pu it's the biggest school in in New Hampshire, biggest uh high school in New Hampshire.
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.960
It's also technically the largest private school in America, I believe.
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:56.879
Because it's owned privately, but um if you're within five towns, you go to it.
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:58.879
So it's not really private.
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:00.559
But is it like technically?
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.840
Is it like you're paying for a private school or is it like through taxes?
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:06.799
Like uh if you live within the five towns taxes, yeah.
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:15.679
If you like lived in a random town that wasn't part of it, you would pay for it, but otherwise, um it's part of taxes and whatnot.
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.399
Yeah, that's how it was back at home in Long Island.
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.600
We like like I was saying, it's there's a ton of people down there too.
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:22.399
Like people were everywhere.
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:27.759
Maybe the classrooms weren't as big uh at the Rocky Point High School that I went to, but um there's still a lot going on.
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:36.080
A lot of people around you, not just at in school, but just otherwise outside of school, just people everywhere at work and everything, and then coming here is a good transition.
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:36.399
Yeah.
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:42.720
Just going into the smaller classrooms, getting that uh idolized time with your professors, that uh that helped me a ton too.
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:50.960
So uh yeah, and you're here, but um, you got away from your brother that does the t uh the the spider stuff to you, you said, or your aunt cousin?
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.759
Um no, my aunt brought me to the spider museum.
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.399
But she had good intentions, she forgot that I had arachnophobia.
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.879
Um how crazy is arachnophobia?
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:01.840
Is it like so?
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:03.360
I'm not arachnophobic?
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.919
I don't know if that's the right tense for that word, but I'm not that afraid of spiders anymore.
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:12.480
Um but like I used to go to a lake house every summer.
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:17.919
Yeah, and there was one summer like um a part of the wall was lined with daddy long legs.
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.200
I refuse to go in the house because I wouldn't walk past them.
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:22.320
I mean, they're gross.
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.320
I wouldn't want them to be gross.
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:24.960
Oh my god.
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:31.039
Not like I'm not thinking like everyone's growing up, they're like, hey, you're bigger than the thing, but no, I don't want that thing crawling on me.
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:32.240
I don't want it touching me.
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:34.240
No, especially they move fast.
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.679
Oh, see, now you're f now now like the thought of that kind of freaks me out.
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.039
They could be anywhere at all times.
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.519
It's not a big spider spot I've noticed.
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.720
No, this isn't, which is surprising because we're in the middle of the woods.
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.279
But I also haven't noticed very many spiders.
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:51.759
Yeah, growing up I had a Vermont house and now it was a big spider spot.
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.200
Huge sp huge spiders in general, big ants, all that stuff.
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:57.919
Um, I mean ants, I don't know, but I mean you do what do you like?
00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:59.840
Ants with your with your club that you got?
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.799
Yeah, we want to start a um ant farm.
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:04.639
Um fair.
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:08.399
I mean ants are cool, I guess, but they're not red or fire ants or something like that.
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:08.960
I don't even know.
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.480
Yeah, we don't want we don't want like ants that'll hurt you.
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:19.039
Um and we're working with President Eden, but we're still in the very early stages of everything.
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:25.679
So we're still working out um what we'd be able to do and like what the timeline is for everything.
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.000
The club just kind of got started at the beginning of the semester.
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.200
So cool.
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:31.679
I don't know.
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.320
I don't I'm Tormsine saying it's cool or disgusting.
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:38.799
It's kind of like a I mean, like honestly, it is an acquired taste, you can't lie.
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:40.080
No, it definitely is.
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:49.840
I've um uh as Fitz said before, I'm a tour guide and I've mentioned it a few times on tour, and it definitely has been a turnoff most of the times that I've said it.
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:51.919
Don't say that to my kids.
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:59.840
I'll I'll be like, oh yeah, so there's a lot of different um ways to start clubs and you know, a lot of different activities you can join.
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:05.600
I and a couple of my friends started Critter Club, and all of the parents are very grossed out.
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:17.919
Um, but part of what we also want to do is kind of create awareness to um invasive species and like protect um potentially endangered species that might be around us.
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.480
So really anything we can do to help the wildlife around us.
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.279
Yeah, it's fair.
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:23.759
Yeah.
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:30.720
So less about um your creepy gross slugs and more about protecting the environment.
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:31.679
Okay, you know what?
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:33.120
I'll give you that because that's pretty cool.
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.480
And um honestly, people don't know a bullet enough about that stuff.
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:41.679
Like, like I said, I I I hear critters or bugs or whatever, and I get grossed out.
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:42.320
But um, yeah.
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.480
Do you work with Doug Hardy too to get that stuff started?
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:45.840
Or are you talking about President Eden?
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.000
Primarily it's been President Eden.
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.720
As I said before, we're still in the early stages of it.
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:51.200
Yeah.
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:57.200
Um, but we're hoping to get involved with Doug Cardi and kind of be able to plan some stuff.
00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:01.919
But um, yeah, everything is still very in the works.
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:02.559
Nice.
00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:05.200
And you talked a little bit about how you give tours.
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.200
So you work in emissions.
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.120
Um talk to me about your job.
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.279
I mean, today you had an annoying meeting that made us very late.
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.200
Sorry to the live listeners out there.
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:14.879
Four o'clock usually start with a little bit.
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.960
Also, I apologize if Brie, Corey, or Nick are part of the live listeners.
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:19.759
They're not.
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:20.879
They'll be fine.
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.000
They'll get over it.
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:23.759
They will they will accept it.
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:25.120
It took forever.
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:28.080
So tell me about your job though in emissions, because it's fun working in there.
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:28.879
Uh it's a good environment.
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:29.759
A lot of people in the world.
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:30.720
It is a good environment.
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:31.360
For sure.
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:32.639
So, yeah, tell me about it.
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:43.759
Um, yeah, so there's some office work, some uh packing accept packets for accepted students, a lot of taking potential students out on tour.
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:51.679
Um, also, if any sports teams bring in students, either as recruit or a part of the overnights that they do, we'll take them out.
00:14:51.919 --> 00:15:08.720
Um and then myself and Nick Fish are also student managers, and we're just coming into this role, so we're um kind of beginning to start planning things for other student ambassadors, um, setting schedules and whatnot.
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:11.919
So, yeah, definitely a learning curve, but a welcome one.
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:13.679
Yeah, and what do you think the hardest part is?
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:15.759
Because you know, you give it tours and everything.
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:19.360
I I kind of don't like giving tours because my job's different.
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:25.120
My job's obviously meeting with families after the tours and talking to them about Franklier and everything like that, but walking them around.
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:28.559
I know sometimes there's like could be awkward silences where you're walking.
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:28.960
I don't know.
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:34.399
I don't I don't know how I feel about that, but uh what do you think your least favorite part of uh giving tours at least is?
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.840
My least favorite part.
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:36.960
You get nervous?
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.440
Um, I don't think I get nervous anymore.
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.679
Honestly, it's also helped with like public speaking.
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:42.399
Oh 100%.
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:46.799
I really don't feel uncomfortable talking to like a random group of people anymore.
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:47.279
Yeah.
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:53.120
Um, but I'd say my least favorite part is like if the students aren't engaged.
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:59.600
I've taken a couple tours where um the students just aren't super involved in the process.
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:08.080
And even if they want to go to college and they want to do whatever career they want to do, if they're not like, oh, what are the dorms looking like?
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:12.000
What are um like the activities you have on campus?
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.120
If they're not engaged, the tour isn't gonna go as well.
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:15.519
Right.
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:26.399
So um I mean, even if the parents are engaged, which it's always welcome that they are engaged, but the students kind of being at the forefront, it always makes it the best.
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.519
And so you like you like the tours, you like the public speaking sport.
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:32.480
Yeah, I am definitely a people person.
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:38.639
I like kind of putting myself out there, getting all the um information and seeming personable to people.
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.519
So yeah, I like giving tours.
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:49.360
You mentioned talking uh working now, starting out a direct role with Nick Fish, a buddy of a very good buddy of mine, as you might be able to tell.
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:50.799
You're making a face already.
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:52.480
Um I mean he's been on this podcast.
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.480
Nick Fish was the one who took the photo earlier of Ryan laying on the floor.
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:58.159
Yes, that's my buddy Nick.
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.600
Um what was your like we're pretty loud in the office.
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:03.279
We we like to talk a lot.
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.359
Um what's your what's your initial um what's the word I'm looking for?
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.960
What was your initial like uh reaction?
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:11.599
Perspective?
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.200
Perspective, maybe uh opinion on us, like in the office.
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:17.119
Right when you met us right away.
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:19.440
Um hmm.
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:21.039
That's interesting.
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:22.079
I'm not sure.
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:23.680
Honestly, I just thought you were loud.
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:24.240
That's it.
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:36.160
Um no, you weren't annoying just because like it wasn't um an unwelcome distraction.
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.920
It was always quite entertaining.
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:38.319
Okay.
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.119
Um, so I'll give you that.
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:46.480
Also, I feel like admissions has always been a very communicative place.
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:51.039
Um you know, we're all tour guides and or counselors.
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:52.319
We all like talking to each other.
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.920
Yes, we're all a very social bunch.
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:04.079
Um so I more thought it was interesting that you had that dynamic in the office, but not that you had that dynamic.
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:09.920
Yeah, I was there before all of them, but I stayed on my side of the office for a while, which was like where the you know the adults stay.
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:20.240
Yeah, where the like real people, but ever since like now Nick got a job, Cole got a job in there, I was like, I have to just go over there and work.
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:21.599
Because I hate sitting in my office.
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:23.519
I mean, come on, what like what do you like better?
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:29.599
You taking people out, talking to families, or sitting in the office, sitting there and maybe doing some work on the computer.
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.880
No, I will say for sure, like being able to talk to everyone is much nicer.
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:44.319
Some of like the best office days have been like when you and Madsy and everyone else is in there and we're all just kind of screwing around, yeah.
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:46.880
I miss Lily so much.
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:51.359
I saw her walking to class earlier, I ran out of admissions and I went, Lily.
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:58.079
Yeah, she's she's back down at uh Student Financial Services, but uh yeah, it it's a nice spot over there.
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:02.079
So um all right, going outside of that, we talked a little bit about you being from Pinkerton.
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.720
Obviously the pe a lot of people aspect over there, right?
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:07.519
And um what's it like growing up there in general?
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:15.119
I mean, you're on the what east very east side of of not too much of the east side of uh New Hampshire, southeast, but um what's it like growing up there?
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.799
Is it um little too like spread out, you think?
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:20.000
Like what what's it like?
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:28.000
I I think the um landscape is a lot better than here.
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:35.279
Not as far as like of course here we have the mountain and the lake, um, but there's a lot more like people and things to do.
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:37.759
The town I live in is kind of closer to Keene.
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:40.400
Um or like closer to the setup of Keene.
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:43.119
Um where there's like more shops.
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:43.599
I don't know.
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:45.359
I end up going to the beach a lot in the summer.
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:46.720
There's beaches over there.
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:48.799
Uh it's about half an hour from my house.
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:49.359
Okay.
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.079
Um as opposed to two hours from here.
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:53.279
Yes.
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:53.759
Oh, okay.
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:57.599
I also live in a town with a lake, so I'll end up going to the lake a lot too.
00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.400
A lot of lake time.
00:19:58.720 --> 00:19:58.880
Yes.
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.440
Um, yeah, I grew up swimming a lot, so um.
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:06.400
But yeah, I don't know.
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:07.359
I like it a lot.
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.480
There's um still a lot of woods.
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:11.839
I mean, it's still New Hampshire.
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:17.359
Um the general scenery doesn't change much, it's just a bit more populated than Ringe.
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:22.160
So um, but I mean that was part of what drew me to Ringe too for school.
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.440
Just because you know, I love being at home and seeing all of my high school friends and whatnot.
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:34.160
But kind of being able to be here and be in a more isolated space where I could focus was definitely important to me.
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:34.799
For sure.
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:37.680
Yeah, you probably met some of your good friends from here as well, right?
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:39.519
Like very important people to you.
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:40.720
Um same thing with me.
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:42.720
Um yeah, it's good to have that switch up.
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:45.359
But um being from pain, do you have any siblings at all?
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:46.000
I do.
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:51.279
I have a um brother who's about to turn thirteen and a sister who's four.
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:52.640
So you're nineteen, right?
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:53.039
Yes.
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:54.319
Whoa, that's a big spread.
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:55.759
That's uh wide spread.
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:56.400
You're the oldest?
00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:57.200
I am the oldest.
00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:57.920
Of three.
00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:58.240
Mm-hmm.
00:20:58.400 --> 00:20:59.279
I'm the youngest of three.
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:04.160
And I have a brother that's nine years older, and a sister that's five years older, so it's a little different.
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:07.599
What's it like being older, especially for 15 years older?
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:10.319
Yes, fifteen years between me and my sister.
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:14.160
Um it's definitely an adjustment.
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:16.640
Um when she was born.
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:19.680
Yes, I was a junior uh sophomore in high school.
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:26.960
Um I mean with my brother, I kind of don't really remember a time before him.
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:28.400
I had just turned seven when he was born.
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:30.559
Right, so it's like one sibling.
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:31.119
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:51.440
So like I in psychology, um in my in my pivotal childhood um moments, I guess I was an only child, but um then he was born, and then when I was fifteen, my sister was born, and um she kind of just feels like a like a mini child to me.
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:57.279
Every time I go home, my mom goes, Here, take your baby, and she um my sister comes over.
00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:59.759
So I mean she's she's up and walking and everything.
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:03.279
Yes, older than my niece.
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:03.839
That's crazy.
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:05.519
I mean, I'm the youngest, so it's a lot different.
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.039
What's it like being the oldest?
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:08.640
It's gotta be like a power trip.
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:13.359
You definitely have a power trip, especially being six years older than your closest sibling.
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:15.519
I d I rage bait a lot.
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.240
You're still worse than I okay.
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:21.359
In fairness, my brother is a lot worse than me.
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:23.039
That gets possible.
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:24.319
He's a brother.
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:24.640
Okay.
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:27.359
I promise you you are worse than your sister.
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:28.400
Sure.
00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:29.440
I I promise you.
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.359
Kate, if you're listening, don't listen.
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:35.359
She's in Japan, she's far.
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.160
I don't think I don't think the radio reaches that far.
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.079
Um podcast platform does.
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:40.960
Oh, that's true.
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:42.079
Plug, plug.
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:44.640
But um, yeah, I don't know.
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:49.680
I feel like I have a very maternal relationship with my sister where I want to take care of her.
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.880
Um she had a lot of health issues when she was born.
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:53.200
Okay.
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.359
Um that were, you know, very complicated.
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:02.160
So I definitely view her as like, like, oh, that's my little girl.
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:05.519
And then I view my brother as he's a brat.
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:05.759
Yeah.
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:06.160
Yeah.
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.880
Yeah, that's just a good thing.
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:12.240
So um I have a very different relationship with the two of them.
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:12.720
Yeah.
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:14.000
You have like I I don't know.
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:23.440
Uh being the youngest, I feel like I just got picked on growing up, and then but uh when I got time to where I was like old enough to have my own thing, I was like, alright, I'm I'm the man now.
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:24.400
Screw what you guys.
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:25.839
Um man, I got it.
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:27.599
That's how um that's how my boyfriend feels.
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:28.799
He's the youngest of six.
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:29.359
Whoa.
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:34.640
Uh so he's 22, but his oldest sibling is almost forty.
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:46.799
Um, so he didn't get picked on a bunch as a child, and he almost wishes he did, but um there's kind of a little bit of like you have to get picked on.
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:47.519
I know.
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:51.119
It's it's it's definitely uh important event.
00:23:51.359 --> 00:24:01.519
Well, because his siblings are so protective of him, and he'll try to shoot the shit, and th they'll be like, No, Daniel, you need to get a job.
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:05.039
Like they're they they want him to be so prepared, which is lovely.
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:09.119
Yeah um because they do care that much about like you know his future.
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:09.599
Yeah.
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:19.119
Um, but he never he didn't get bullied, I think, as much as um at least you did, it sounds like it's important.
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:20.240
But um, I don't know.
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:24.319
My favorite memory being young was getting over that hump and being like, Alright, you know what?
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:26.000
I'm not too bad of myself.
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:27.279
I'm a grown-up.
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:28.079
I'm an adult.
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:29.839
What's your favorite part about being the oldest part?
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.400
What what's like a favorite memory of being like, yeah, I'm the oldest?
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:35.359
And I don't know, like obviously your sister being so young.
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:39.519
I mean, what was the point where you're like, Yeah, screw you, little brother.
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:50.079
Well, so I was there when my brother was born, um, which was definitely I mean I was only seven, but I was like, oh my god, like I feel like a person, even though I was nowhere close.
00:24:50.400 --> 00:25:02.400
Um, but I think right before coming to college, I we went up to um my stepdad's boss's lake house for the week.
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.559
Um, and I kind of freaked out one night.
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:08.720
I was like, oh my god, I'm so scared to go to college.
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:10.160
I don't know what I'm doing.
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:14.799
I'm a very like high anxiety person, so I think it all got to me.
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:21.920
Um, and I kind of had a good cry it out with my brother, and we were able to talk things out.
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:28.799
Um, I mean, we never had any issues before, but kind of just saying, like, oh, we're gonna miss each other, but it'll be okay.
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:39.119
Like, I'm a very family-oriented person, so really being able to um feel comfortable leaving kind of made me feel like a grown-up.
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:43.200
Um and like I like I had a solid footing in myself, yeah.
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:43.839
100%.
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:51.359
I mean, do do you think like you're more family-oriented because you're from like the place where you're from or the type of way you got raised?
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:54.000
Um, I think it's both.
00:25:54.720 --> 00:26:00.240
Um, I'm the oldest daughter from an oldest daughter from an oldest daughter.
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.079
So kind of just throughout my family.
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:07.920
I mean, my mom is very responsible, my grandmother is the same way.
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:08.640
Gotcha.
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:17.680
Um, so really just having that dynamic, but also the my mom's side of my family is pretty big.
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:23.440
My uh grandparents on my dad's side, my grandmother's one of twelve, and my grandfather's one of nine.
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.279
So I we were always surrounded in a bunch of family.
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:30.000
Um family reunions went crazy.
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:31.279
So I don't know.
00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:39.759
I feel like being able to grow up surrounded by family, but also like being the oldest daughter, kind of just having that space.
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:41.039
That's good stuff.
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:41.599
Yeah.
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:44.480
And uh kucarachas, all the kucarachas.
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:46.799
Am I saying that right?
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:51.200
Um, are you trying to say my last name or are you trying to say kochiara or uh kucaracha?
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:52.160
Is it cuchiaro?
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:54.400
Cuchiaro.
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:54.720
Okay.
00:26:54.880 --> 00:27:00.000
Well, I introduced Mia as cucaracha, but um I I I don't know if that's her last name or not.
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:02.000
I actually I don't mind it.
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:08.240
I've had enough I I've had you and uh Cole call me kukaracha enough across campus.
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:08.720
True.
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:14.240
During the um high school tours last week, yeah, I think it was Koning that came down.
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:21.279
I was giving a tour and I saw Cole and he goes, Kukaracha! And all of the kids went, Why did he say that to you?
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:27.440
And I was like, Oh, it's because there was one time he couldn't pronounce my name, and he goes, No, your name is Cucaracha.
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:28.160
Yeah, it is.
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:30.480
Um so I've just I've accepted it.
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:32.880
And we're gonna keep working towards getting Linda to say it.
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:35.920
Yeah, the the end goal is to get Linda to say it.
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:36.799
That's it right there.
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:38.799
Um that's what you gotta do.
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:41.119
You've already gotten Jordan to say it.
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:43.119
I don't think you're gonna get Bree to say it.
00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:44.319
It'll it'll don't worry.
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:48.640
I think I think Brie might be a tougher sell than Linda just because I talk to Bree more.
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:49.200
True.
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:51.759
But you could for sure get Heather.
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:52.319
Yeah.
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:53.680
And probably Rich.
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:54.960
I don't know.
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:56.000
Rich is too old school.
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:56.480
I don't even know.
00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:57.599
But what about Paul?
00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.640
Paul would say it.
00:27:58.880 --> 00:27:59.039
Yeah.
00:27:59.279 --> 00:27:59.759
Paul would say it.
00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:00.079
Yeah.
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:01.440
I think you could get Paul.
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:03.599
Um, he's probably your next step.
00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:06.640
Um yeah.
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:07.440
Yeah.
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:09.039
Well, we're gonna keep working on that.
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:12.960
We got a little bit of a scoop of the admissions office on the student side of things, which I really liked.
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:17.279
And uh you know, I'm I'm looking forward to really working with you still with me, yeah, for the next, you know, whatever.
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:17.680
Whatever.
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:19.039
Whatever, whatever.
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:20.400
Yeah, whatever we're working.
00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:22.960
So um thanks for joining me today, Kuka Dacha.
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.920
I really appreciate your time.
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:24.960
Of course, Fitz.
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:26.720
I'm glad we got this talk about this.
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:29.200
I asked you today to do this, and you were all up in arms.
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:30.720
You were a little late, but we'll get over that.
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:32.960
It was not my fault that I was late.
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:38.000
But I'm glad we did this, and uh I'm glad all of you joined us as well.

00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:42.000
Any last remarks you'd like to say to the people?
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:44.079
Um no.
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:47.279
I I don't think I have any last remarks.
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:50.880
Well, you'll be hearing from us at Franco Pierce University.
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:55.920
We're part of the admissions office, but we're here up in the Marlon Fitzwater Center recording this.
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:56.880
