Dani here! It’s day one for classes. Today started with a 7:15 wake-up call (or 7:30 for some of us with sleepier RAs). Then was breakfast and off to class. I’m in Bio-ethics. Today we started with the basic rules, then transitioned to “The History of Suicide” and got an idea on the different philosophies from various (mainly Western) cultures. After that we discussed the morality of suicide. Everyone was very open-minded. The conversation was very insightful.
My afternoon class is Sociology. We began with a slideshow, asking us about individuality, cultural and social influences, and other things. Then for introduction purposes, we made “All About Me” posters. That was great. Who doesn’t love coloring? After that, we began puzzles detailing the impacts and influences in our lives, which included people, places, events, things, and books, to name a few. I’m really excited for tomorrow, since I’m providing the playlist – mostly soundtracks, like “Pride and Prejudice,” some Broadway stuff, and some Haley Westerna.
In the evening, everyone participated in a massive art project. Everyone was given a 6x10-inch piece of posterboard, a few markers, and water to fight the heat index. We passed every piece around to the left every 60 seconds until we got our original paper back, covered in doodles. They are all different and so lovely. Mine is going on my bedroom wall when I get home. It was a little hot, kind of scratchy in the grass, and my legs ache from sitting cross-legged for over an hour (leading me to marvel at all those who seriously meditate, because they can do it for hours on end). But whatever. That’s nothing in comparison to how fun it was.
