Beloved|Victory: Day Four at CLI

Monday 5.29.09

Woke up to a plain morning prayer and the deliciousness of french toast and orange juice!
The workshop was about the different positions in a group such as facilitator and recorder and reporter. The second workshop with the grads was to build a tower out of marshmallows and raw spagetti. My team pretty much lost haha.
Lunch was sandwiches on a bulky roll, either ham salad, chicken salad or tuna. I had tuna. The theme was the beach because it incorperates each theme so far: water, light and todays theme of oil (sunscreen).
The afternoon workshop was the best! Each member of the group was either gagged, as in they couldn't speak, blinded or had their legs and arms tied together. I was the immobile one haha I had to hobble everywhere, Kevin was muted and Audrey was blinded. First we had to solve a puzzle, one that was just a piece of paper cut into odd shapes. The problem was that ONLY Audrey could touch the paper and tape. That seriously took us like twenty minutes. When that was done we had to all write our signatures on a piece of paper and stand in order of age before going outside to complete the obstical course. This included things like making Audrey bat a ball thrown by kevin, tossing a water balloon back and forth via a cloth and walking through a mine field of plasitc ball pit balls. We came practically in last but it was still fun as hell!
Break=texting and reading as usual. I almost went swimming but I found a nasty bug in my bathing suit and changed my mind.
Dinner was lasagnia along with an Italian themed environment. "Hey mombo, mombo Italiano" planning and setting up for the liturgy, which my group along with group 5 again was assigned, was very stressful. This bitchy girl Rachel was just being an irritating pain and Zoë was completely overboard with stress. The survice turned out perfectly though, aside from Kevin's near fainting spell when he went up to do a reading. Even I did just fine reading in front of the group, but I guess they said he was dehydrated.
Town meeting consisted of waste talk again, fire in the hole issues, unflushed toilets, spit in the pond.
The talent show was a blast. Anna has such an amazing voice, her accapella rendition of The Climb was incredable. The Portugese Woman act was hysterical as was Nolan and Toms juggling act. Anna came in second, this girl KJ came in first for performing an original song with both guitar and vocals, and I came in third for my fantastic artwork!
We meditated for evening prayer which was relaxing and before bed I actually hung out with people. My report card may have sucked, but all in all not a bad day.
