My Wheaton Weekend

Hello world!I thought that for this post, I’d share my weekend!

Thus far, my weekends have been pretty action-packed! I like to keep my weekends busy at in the beginning of the year while homework and exams are manageable and while the weather is pleasant.

On Saturday, my friend Shannon and I went to see our friend Maya play in a match against Clark. Maya is in her 3rd year of playing tennis for Wheaton, and with every year my friends and I attend more and more of her matches. I find it quite interesting to watch the matches because I’m not too familiar with the rules of the game. I wasn’t ever really into watching sporting events, but being friends with people on the tennis team is a great incentive!
Anyways, the weather was beautiful and I was impressed with the turnout of fans. A lot of people came to watch, including professors, administrators and the like. Naturally, Maya kicked butt and we cheered her on readily!

After the tennis match, my friend and I lazied around campus, basically sitting on any bench we could find and chatting with any passers-by. We figured that we should probably make the most of what would probably be the last day of summer, and sure enough the brisk air has already moved in.

When the sun finally fell, I went to go help set up for the bonfire, which the lower campus hall staff cheekily named the “Lower Campus Inferno.” It was a great time as people conversed and the jokes about Triple E flowed freely! We provided s’mores for everyone to make and enjoy, and the people mingling and playing music created a really friendly ambiance…not to mention the huge fire! I’m an RA and I happened to be on-call that night and I was glad to see that the bonfire brought people to the Meadows vicinity! I am happy to report that roughly 100 or so people showed up to the Lower Campus Inferno which is a great turnout to anything here at Wheaton since we are so small. The rest of my on-call was relatively uneventful, which is always a good thing for an RA.

Sunday was a typical Sunday, always filled with anticipation of the coming week, which happened to be our first full week of school. People strolled in and out of Chase for brunch then went back to their rooms to do homework (or so I’d like to think)!

Anyway, that’s all from me for now! I’ll make sure to keep everyone updated on my life at Wheaton! Stay tuned!
