August is here which means kids will be heading back to school very shortly! Start the year off right by welcoming back teachers, students, and staff with a small gift and welcome celebration. We’ve compiled our top ten choices for back to school gifts to make your planning easier! 

Thursday, we got let out of our “cage” a little early so Baudville could migrate to the zoo! Family and friends joined the roaring company picnic for a night at John Ball Park Zoo. The zoo closed to the public at 5 o’clock, allowing us to roam around free of crowds.

Upon arrival we were greeted by some familiar faces taking pictures, handing out our itinerary, gift cards for food at the Monkey Cafe, and a scavenger hunt filled with questions about the animals we would be encountering that night! If we were feeling adventurous enough we could sign up for camel and zip line rides. Then we were off, free to prowl around in the wild.
    

As our days are becoming shorter and the air crisper, nature is telling us back to school is around the corner. My first day back to school is the 29th, which is less than a week away. Yikes! Back to school for me means, last year of classes, running my advertising club, volunteering for a professor, and of course, enjoying my friends. Oh but wait, best of all I will still be here at Baudville writing blog posts for you to enjoy!

I just attended a couple of creative writing workshops in one of my favorite places to visit: New York City! When I enrolled, I wasn’t totally sure what I would get out of the experience. I had done my research and found that the school had a great reputation; but it also seemed from the reviews that overall student satisfaction had more to do with the individual instructors than anything. Of course, I hoped I would get good ones.  

Despite a little hesitation, I was excited about the workshops and, like a big nerd, actually giddy about being given a homework assignment to complete before one of the workshops started.

Happy about homework? Crazy talk!
