Ok so I realize my last blog post was in September. I
officially stink at blog posts.
Instead of trying to update you on everything since then (so
sorry), I will just tell you about an event that happened this past Monday.
This past Monday, February 11, we held our dorm’s annual
event, Famous Couples. For some reason though, this year the girls decided the
past years’ events had been too ‘couply’ or something and wanted to change some
things up and then call it Non-Famous Couples. So this past Monday, we held
Non-Famous Couples at our dorm.
This year’s Non-Famous Couples looked like this:
The theme: Kid’s Birthday Party.
Who: 38 high schoolers, 19 girls, 19 boys.
Where: Wittlingen Dorm.
Decorations: Loads of streamers, balloons, and kid drawings.
Food: Popcorn, pigs in a blanket, veggies and dip, cupcakes,
and soda floats.
Here’s out it went down: Each of our 19 girls had a guy
invited over suggested by one of their friends. Neither girl nor guy knew who
was going with whom. The guy was just
told to bring a certain article, like a teddy bear, and when he arrived, he
would need to look for a girl who likewise had that article, say, a teddy bear;
and wah-la—the two with the teddy bears would be a pair for the day.
The day was filled with fun activities! Our 8 senior girls
got to plan most of the event. And going
with along with the desired theme of a Kid’s Birthday Party, our Non-Famous
Couples was filled with musical chairs, pin the tail on the donkey, party hat
making, and a piñata!! (The piñata being outside pretty much translated into a
giant snowball fight). Needless to say,
it was a lot of fun (besides the fact that the stick we were using to hit the piñata
broke in half, flew across the yard and stabbed me in the stomach. J haha).
