Way back at the beginning of the semester a bunch of us
brought tickets to go to a Spurs game. Then a little while later all us girls
decided to start planning the boy’s appreciation night and all of this fell on
Easter weekend. By far the busiest weekend all year. With all that some of our
teachers put a lot of homework due for this past week and this coming week.
Free time is something not very common around here lately.
Even though it has been super busy for most of us, it has also
been the funniest weekend this semester by far. We went from one activity to
the next one and most of the time running around trying to make the boys wonder
what they will be doing.
On Friday night most of the student body got onto the Cool
Bus and we went into San Antonio to the AT&T Center for a Spurs vs. Clippers
game. It was such a blast! I have never really been into basketball but some of
my really good friends here are in love with it so I have learned lots this
year about it and also learned I am not going to ever play because I am not
good at all. But that’s beside the point, the game was so crazy, back and forth
and down to the last second it could have went either way. In the last five minutes I made a bet with
one of the boys who was cheering for the Clippers that the Spurs would win. At
that point they were winning and in the end they did win. However, that was the
longest five minutes of my life. All of a sudden the Clippers were winning and
then the Spurs and then back to the Clippers. In like the last second of the
game the Spurs got ahead and won! This means I will not be buying myself ice
cream on the next ice cream run!
On Saturday most girls were going crazy making sure
everything was perfect for the boy’s day. We first sent them on a little walk
to find a staff member who would have more information about the first activity
for them. In one of the more treed area of the grounds we had them play sling
shot paint ball for like two hours. None of us girls got to go down and watch
but the boys said they had a lot of fun and that was way better than anything
they had imagined. For supper we went over to this ranch that was totally the
way anyone would picture a small Texan ranch. It was by far one of the cutest
places I have ever visited. We all ate supper together there and then played
games outside, played pool in the house game room and just sat around talking
together. We thought the sun would set sooner than it did because we were going
to leave the boys there so that they could watch a movie outside at the ranch.
However, it took a lot longer to set that day, which wasn’t bad just set up
back on our time line. They were still able to watch the whole movie and get
more time to hang out with us girls. Overall, I think it went over very well
and the boys really enjoyed it.
On Sunday, we all had to be up, nice looking and at the
chapel for sunrise service at eight am sharp. Plus, my new daily duty is
cleaning one of the public bathrooms so I had to clean that before the service
started because people not from the Hill were coming. One of the earliest
morning yet for me. The second year students put on the service and did a
wonderful job. Then everyone went over to the Fish House for breakfast together
at nine. So much food and so many people I had never seen before. I ate breakfast, took a few pictures and then
went back to bed.
Most of Sunday I sleep since there wasn’t much of it the
days before hand. It was a wonderful weekend! Just much busier than any of us
would have thought or wanted to plan.
Love,
a.m
