We work hard here at Middlebury. We work very very hard.
I will start out by saying that, unfortunately, I took zero pictures this week/weekend.
That is just a small insight at how busy and stressful everything has gotten, and so quickly.
The week went by so slowly, it's getting harder to get up on time, and our first 6-page research paper was due Tuesday evening where we were promptly informed that she was going to annihilate the paper when correcting because it is our very first paper and we need to learn from it, no worries it is 15% of our grade. No problem. Plus it seems like the work load has tripled. Every night kids are running to and fro trying to figure out what exactly is going on, working on late night math, spanish, chemistry, everyone is trying to help everyone just simply get by. It is highly unusual on B1N to be able to go to sleep before midnight and even then that is almost getting to sleep early. Followed by 8 am classes by the majority of the hall. No problem.
I finally was cleared to go back to soccer and have joined orchestra as well to add to an already time-consuming schedule. Let's just say that Tuesdays and Thursdays suck.... a lot.
We had a couple recruits in the dorm this weekend, Peter had a track recruit, Will had a squash recruit, and Morgan was supposed to have a track recruit as well but there was a mix up and apparently she was supposed to be with Morgan's twin sister, Missy, instead. No problems there. Recruits are interesting though. For sure. Also, Jared's girlfriend visited. I forgot to mention, on the social spectrum, last weekend Chris's ex-girlfriend came and stayed the weekend and Scarlett had a recruit as well.
The weekend was long, a lot was done, none of it really documented, there was a black-light rave and perhaps a late-night luau as well as some other "exciting" elements.
On Friday night, some genius thought it would be a great idea to set off the fire extinguisher up in B2C (Second Floor, Battell Center) leading to the evacuation of the entire building at 2 am for approximately 45 minutes. Thank goodness it was such a beautiful night. But a long one. A very very long night.
Saturday was sports day again!
Middlebury Soccer, both Women's Varsity and Men's beat Bowdoin. The women won 2-1 in OT (Scarlett made the assist!) and the men won 2-0. We also made it down to the football game until half time when we promptly returned to the dorm to nap, but the men beat Wesleyan 24-21. I don't know too much about football but it was exciting to know that both Jared and InvisaWill were playing out there! Jared did really well! (Not sure about InvisaWill, I will ask if I ever get the chance!)
Another picture of a MiddKid, Dave and I, and the majority of B1N, did homework from 6 until 9:30 on Saturday night.
Nuff said.
Either way, even though the weeks are long, the work is hard, and the weather is questionable, I love it here at Middlebury and wouldn't have it any other way. :)
Miss you all.
love,
