Relay for Life part 2

The event started when the cancer survivor of our group Brent told us about his experience. Then, all the cancer survivors attending walked a lap around the track. Then we all joined them. After that lap, one person from each team stayed on the track at a time. We walked in half hour increments. I walked at 11, 2, and 5:30. There was free food, and some on site fund-raising as well. We played The Great Dalmuti (like Scum but better), and the M&M game. And randomly at 2:30, our whole team did the Bunny Hop around the track. It took us 20 minutes to make it all the way around. But every time we did the hops, we all yelled "Cancer Sucks." It was pretty fun. By the way, our team's name was "Krebs Saugt" which means "cancer sucks" in German. At about 10, we put electric candles in luminaries that people had made in remembrance of cancer victims. We all took a lap of silence together. It was pretty neat. At the end of the event, they handed out some prizes. Our team got the prize for the most money raised. We also had the top two fund raisers in the whole event as members of our team. We all got a T-shirt from the event, and a water bottle for winning the top fund-raising team. It was a neat experience, and they asked our team to return next year.

Relay for Life part 1

I am participating in Relay for Life this year. It is a huge fundraiser to raise money for cancer research. Stephanie Maxwell, my roommate is our team captain. Our team has raised over $1100 dollars. Tonight we are going to pull an all-nighter and stay up walking around the track in our field house. The idea is that the track represents the suffering of a cancer victim. And the suffering (walking) doesn't end until we find a cure for cancer. It's really cool. And this is titled part one because I'm going to take pictures and let you know how it goes next week. I'm really excited to participate in this event.

St. Patty's Party

I had a great time at the party on Sunday. It was so nice to see all of my family. I had a great time showing Lexi around and telling her how we are all related. I also had a good time playing with Cory. It's so much fun to be around the little ones. I miss them so much while up in Logan. The food was really good. I love the Irish soda bread. The mug also had a great time, though he did get pinched because he forgot to wear green.

Testing

I just completed my third test in two days. I really want to find out how I did on all of them. I studied so hard for my Chemistry test. But when I got to it, I couldn't remember everything. I ended up doing some (very educated) guessing. Then, I had an easy Creative Arts test, and I just took an online test. It was open notes, and I only missed one question. I'm so nervous about finding out the results of my Chemistry test. It was such a hard test. So much material was covered. I wish we had homework assignments in that class. The grade is calculated purely off the tests. I don't like that very much.
