Friday Night Fun

Sadly, the rain came and washed away our Fun Fest and Bouncy Castles. Instead, we played games and watched movies...we had dodgeball in the gym (always a crowd pleaser), DDR and air hockey in the student lounge (counts as exercise, doesn't it?), board games in the dining hall (with snacks, of course), Finding Nemo in Trapelo, and Benjamin Button in the Mugar Theater. I was impressed with how our Barnies continually take risks, putting themselves out there to try new things...which always leads to lots of laughter. Now we're about to go plan our Fractured Fairytale...we're determined to win this year!!

(For those of you that aren't familiar with our tradition, students are given a list of rules that must be followed, and they use them to adapt a well-known fairy tale. This year, everyone in the dorm has to have a speaking part, there has to be a "wanna get away?" moment like in the Southwest airline commercials, there has to be a ninja move, singing AND dancing, mention 3 building or residential life adults, someone in the play needs to update their facebook status, and it must include a piece of trivia about a non-US country. After the performances, the dorm parents vote on a winner based mostly on creativity.)

We'll try to get a video of the Barnie Performance!
