DLA Day 4 by Tommy

In the morning session at "Living the College Life," we discussed the correct eating habits and how much of each food group we should eat. We filled out charts that had fast food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and we had to keep the calories from 1600-2200. I learned that some fast food restaurants had much more or less calories than I expected. For example, Arby's has some of the highest calorie food. After the morning session, we went to lunch. We were all very excited because today was Bastille Day! My class had to leave early from lunch because we were going to downtown Springfield to tour the YMCA and climb the rock wall. I tried to climb the "medium" rock wall at first, but I didn't make it very far. However, I managed to climb to the top of the "easy" rock wall! We had some time to kill after climbing the rock walls, so we decided to go into the gym and play basketball. After I destroyed everyone at Knock Out, we went back to Drury and signed up for stations. My house, Frozen Tundra, played Quidditch today. Unfortunately, we were outmatched and lost the game. I was exhausted from running back and forth and almost fell asleep during dinner! After a hearty meal, we participated in Trivia Night in our house groups. There were many hard questions, but the most difficult topic was definitely "History of the Printed Book," chosen by Chad. A party was held on the second floor immediately following Trivia Night, complete with dancing, music, and card games. This Bastille Day was exhausting, but a lot of fun!
