Assassin

It's the second week in January term and it's so cold outside. Everyone is in their warmest clothes; you'd be amazed how many layers I wore this morning! Anyway, I'm having a good time so far and I really had a really exciting weekend. J-term has truly lived up to its name with all the fun events, games and activities going on.

On Friday night, my floor - third floor - had forth floor cook for us. They prepared beef and vegetables, which we ate with Tacos. There was enough for everyone to eat and it actually tasted really good. On Saturday, I signed up for the game assassin. Assassin It was played among members of my floor and everyone was assigned a target to 'assassinate' with a 'knife' [ruler or hanger] or a 'grenade' [ping pong ball].

Still playing the game, I had the option of going for the dance party in Americana or going to swim and watch a movie in Regents. My friends and I chose to swim and I really had a good time. We swam, played some cool games and everyone won gifts (I won M&M's and a T-shirt). After having spent about 2 hours at the pool, we set out to return to the dorm. It was on our way back that I got 'stabbed' in the back with a ruler by a close friend with whom I went to the pool! Isn't that sad? I had not even played the game for long enough to get eliminated.

This morning, I had my first shift working at the Technology Help Desk. I'm so glad I applied for the job because I've found it so exciting. Although there's plenty of work to do of different varieties, I've also learned a lot in this short time so it's certainly worth it. My J-term philosophy class is still going as well as it started. The class discussions are quite interesting and I'm convinced I chose the right class.

That's all I've got for now. Have a fun week!
