I neglected to write about two of the big events that I attended on the SMC campus during the past few weeks. In addition to the Wyclef concert last weekend, I participated in an event called Midnight Madness (check it out at themidnightmadness.com), which was a scavenger hunt to raise money for Best Buddies International, which is a program that has a chapter at SMC. I was on a team with the majority of the girls from my Kentucky trip, and we had a great time - we got a person in a suit to do a handstand, threw a snowball at a person in a costume and many other ridiculous things - check out a few of our photos (we had to use them as evidence that we completed the tasks!!)
Our whole team in a pyramid
Team members using their tongues to make a clover, a taco, turned over completed and touching their nose!
Fitting our entire team into a single sized bed!
The other event that I attended was called Friday Knight Dry, which was an event hosted by the entire campus. The point of the event was to promote staying sober on a Friday night by offering tons of activities around campus and earning play money to use at an auction at midnight. I attended a carnival in one of the residence halls, SMC jeopardy in the Hoehl Welcome Center, regular jeopardy in my building, karaoke in Alliot, a fly fishing demo in the dining hall and then the auction at midnight. Overall it was an incredibly successful event and I ended up winning a Vera Bradley bag at the auction!
There's never a shortage of things to do at St. Mike's - this weekend my time will be mostly taken up by LEAP, but there are plenty of other events going on too - there's definitely more than just sitting around watching movies going on here!
