Tuesday is dorm meeting night, and we like to ask our dorm leaders, Helen and Jane, to start us off with a little activity. Tonight, we got silly in the parking lot with a game I like to call "WAAAHHHH." I don't think that's the official, technical name. I'm pretty sure it's not, actually. Basically, one person gets to be a tree, and the two people next to that person get to cut down the tree by performing a fancy lumberjack move coupled with yelling "WAAAHHHHH!" It's a fairly complicated game. In any case, there was lots of laughing, and in the end, Julia and Da Hae were declared the winners. Clearly they have superior powers of focus and reflexes. Way to go, girls!Other highlights of the dorm meeting included signing up for weekend activities (like the upcoming Six Flags trip!) and how to sign guests in, and how to sign yourself out for the weekend (it requires a special form and several phone calls, and must be turned in to the dean's office by 1 pm on Friday...so we all learn to PLAN AHEAD!)
We talked about elections for boarding life committee (which addresses policy and quality of life issues in the residential community) and the dorm board (which acts as a dorm disciplinary committee). Both are excellent leadership opportunities, and by this time next week, we'll have Barn representatives for these positions!
We also talked about our cherished tradition--dorm sweatshirts! Each year, the Barn acknowledges the talented artists within by having a contest to design our dorm sweatshirt. Anyone in the dorm can enter (as many times as they want) and we will all vote on the final design and try to order them before it gets too cold out. We'll be collecting submissions for the next two weeks, and will vote the first Sunday in October. Stay tuned...
WAAAAHHHHHHHH!
