It was another day at DLA -- Monday! (And now I have the song "Monday Monday Monday" stuck in my head...) Several activities took place today. One was the service project. The Senior Experience (my class) was responsible for planning it. Originally we were going to put on a carnival for kindergartners, but we ended up performing a musical entitled Poverty: The Musical, a presentation of the Springfield-Greene County Community Focus Report. Senior Experience students sang, danced, and I even rapped. (It was actually decent, if I do say so myself.) After the musical, campers wrote inspirational messages for children receiving backpacks of food.
Later that night, campers participated in a mass game of Sardines. I got to be a sardine, so I can cross that off my bucket list. Even though I had to crouch over a toilet for 45 minutes and my legs burned after I got to leave the bathroom, it was totally worth it. The prize for "Best Hiding Place," however, goes to Nick and Kyle. I won't spoil the location in case any future DLAers are reading this blog, but apparently it is so legendary that it can only be used every five years. After Sardines, everybody got Andy's Frozen Custard. It was great ending to a fantastic day!
Even though this blog entry is supposed to be about Monday, I also want to write about something that took place this afternoon. After our first Mayhem, Senior Experience decided to plan Mayhem for the RAs -- RA-hem! It took place during afternoon classes, and RAs had to complete a variety of tasks. There were word puzzles, codes, Rubik's cubes, human pyramids, and so much more. The RAs were heard saying, "This is so cool!" numerous times. The seniors got a first-hand look at planning a Mayhem, and we also got to experience how the RAs feel watching campers complete the activities.
(Hint: they feel amazing.)
