7. Homecoming

Ok, so this weekend has been all about homecoming. Homecoming activities, homecoming court, follies, etc. For anyone who is reading this and does not know what follies is, I'm very sorry. Follies is a huge intertribal competition between all clubs and tribes. They each put on a skit of some sort and perform it for whoever was fortunate enough to buy one of the tickets. Being part of Nenamoosha, I was in the follies skit and had so much fun! Every tribe and club put on a really good show!

Preparing for these skits was an on going task for the past several weeks. Long practices till late in the night... or technically early in the morning, made for a very tiresome week. I have never felt this sort of exhaustion before. Exhaustion in the way that not only my body is tired, but also my mind and emotions. I am just simply worn out, but in the good way (if there is one)! But all of this work and practice has definitely paid off because we had fun!

But now, I am facing a week's worth of exhaustion combined into a weekend. Crammed packed into a homecoming weekend, my exhaustion culminated. But I soon realized that the being tired and lack of sleep is all part of the college experience. And MC as a whole wants the students to get the most out of this college experience that we can. And that is what this weekend has taught me! :)
