Frosh Frenzy

I went to frosh frenzy again this year. If you don't know what that is, InterVarsity hosts this all nighter event for new students from Friday night at 8pm to Saturday morning at 7am. Yup, thats eleven hours of fun, games, competition, eating, and no sleeping.

I was wearily impressed by this year's freshmen. By 3am last year, the game room was filled with people knocked out on the couches. Besides a few people in the sleeping rooms, this year, the only person that was knocked out was the girl Justin ran over during "Do you love your neighbor."

3am this year, in the game room people were still playing signs. I left to play some basketball then came back after three games or so and the same signs game was still happening.

Amy Hu's karaoke hour was also a surprising hit-- 4am in the morning and a room full of freshman are singing "A Whole New World"

No magic carpet here.

I spent my whole frosh frenzy last year playing volleyball. I vowed this year not to fall victim to that addiction. But after hours of signs and ninja, I found myself back in the gym in a circle of people focused on not letting a ball touch the ground.

I spent the rest of the night/morning resting in a tiny chair discussing catching leaves as they fall from trees and watching the sun rise. And so the night was over and day had come.
My parents picked me up from school and we drove to my grandpa's birthday party where I spent half my time sleeping.
