DLA Day 5 by Morgan

I'm not a sports person. And by "I'm not a sports person," I don't mean that I'm not that good, but I'll play if needed. I mean that I don't play sports. I tend to hurt the team rather than help them. But, today against my will, I was forced to play Quidditch. Our seventh player couldn't play, so I had to step in. Despite complaining more than necessary, I actually had a lot of fun. The main goal is to catch the Snitch, which my team managed to do, but we still lost. In any event, it was really fun.

The rest of the day was just as amazing, albeit less physically strenuous. It started with my morning class, Philosophy. It's really interesting and made all the better because we watch episodes of "Doctor Who?" to help explain the theories. Today, we talked about Occam's Razor, the theory that the simplest answer is often the correct one. We also watched some "Doctor Who?" dealing with utilitarianism, the theory that the majority's needs overrule the minority's needs.

In my second class, Sociology, we put together our "Society is..." Powerpoints. Yesterday, the class went downtown and took photos of how we perceive society. It was really fun to do, and what we're doing now is putting the picture into a Powerpoint with captions to show how we captured what society is.

A small but amazing part of the day was the ice cream sundaes that were available. There was caramel, and I just had a bowl of caramel and ate it with a spoon. It was wonderful.

After my (very healthy) dinner, we headed to The Skinny Improv, the improv show downtown reminiscent of "Who's Line Is It Anyway?". The tiny, hole-in-the-wall theater was very warm with all 91 of the DLAers and RAs. But, it was very much worth it. The show was hilarious.

The night ended with a mini-dance party in the second floor lobby. The rest of DLA is guaranteed to be as amazing as tonight was.
