Music Video!

Here is the Orange team's awesome Barn music video:

The green team did one also, but they were a little shy about posting it. =)

It's been busy around here!

It's been a BUSY few weeks here in the Barn!

Let's see where we left off...we had just celebrated some birthdays and half-birthdays and also serenaded the other dorms for Valentine's Day!

Continuing the love theme, our dorm leaders and dorm parents got together and made little handmade valentine bags o' treats for each of the girls:

The dorm leaders snuck around delivering them at night so the girls would find them first thing in the morning!

Then, there was the birthday song to be sung to Paloma:

Then, it was time to start our annual ADVENTURE CHALLENGE. Which is sort of like a scavenger hunt and sort of like the Amazing Race. We split the girls into five teams and gave them a list of challenges to conquer. Here are some of the fun submissions as part of the scavenger hunt:

The purple team found this "face within an inanimate object":

And this was our favorite face found by the green team:

And here's the purple team posing as superheroes:

Here's the purple and green team working together to try to form a human pyramid:

This is the orange team posing with Jane to spell out "I *heart* CSW"

And the Green team getting CSW staff and faculty to spell out "The Barn":

The purple team made this Barn logo:

And the green team made this one:

One of the challenges asked students to spell out CSW from "found letters" around campus. We thought they did an amazing job. Check out this submission from the purple team:

And this one from the green team:

Clever, huh? =)

This is the orange team's barn-related music video!


Anyway, there were sonnets and haikus and riddles and math problems and logic problems. And, in the end, it was NECK AND NECK. I'm talking mere points decided the final winners. The orange team came in third place, the purple team came in second place, and the green team placed first. They're negotiating their prize now...it will likely involve dinner/movies/ice cream or some variation on that theme. They are considering trying to share their prize with the purple team. =)

After THAT was over, it was time for the Open Mic night. Denisha and Briana read awesome poems, Ronghao did some cool magic for us, and Victoria F. and Jordan performed an awesome song.

And after THAT, Shari gave her capstone presentation!
And then Rowan went to France. And came back.

Whoa. Like I said, it's been busy around here!
