HBR continues to roll along and it’s crazy to think it’s already February.
Highlights from the week/weekend:Our week in HBR and at school was marked predominantly by the news the students received on Monday morning at school. The students were informed of two students being removed from BFA due to sexual misconduct. Neither of the students was from HBR, but they were both seniors and well loved by a majority of the school, so it was a shock to everyone. I have been impressed by how our guys have handled the situation; there hasn’t been too much anger aimed at the school or the administration. Most of the seniors were sad, but felt the school was fair and felt that the two students involved could get the best possible care with their parents.
Saturday was jam packed! Brandon and I took 11 guys up to Feldberg to ski. It’s about an hour exactly from the dorm and the day was beautiful. I’m pretty sure it has been cloudy and foggy in Germany since about October 17th, but yesterday there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the temperature hovered right at about 0 Celsius, the perfect ski day. We left at 8:30 in the morning and when we got there it was really crowded, but the sun was shining and there were snow drifts taller than the van. It was a bit of a nightmare trying to get rental equipment and tickets bought, but by 10:45 everyone was on the hill having a good time. Some guys were experienced on the slopes and a number of them were first timers. By the end of the day everyone was exhausted and glad they had come. The only bummer on the day was when we got back and I realized that I had lost my wallet. We are still trying to locate it, but the thought of canceling bank cards, getting new ones, getting a new license, etc. really scares me. We got home at 5:30, just in time for me to start grilling for dinner (Italian marinated Chicken).
Today was another long day. We went to church this morning and we let the guys stay up, if they would like, to watch the Super Bowl tonight at midnight (IT'S CURRENTLY 2 AM AND I'M TOO NERVOUS TOO WATCH WITH THE STUDENTS, COLTS JUST LOST THE ONSIDE! ARRRGGH!)
In honor of the Super Bowl tonight we had a very special dorm fellowship at 11:30 pm. It is our first ever “Super Bowl Snack Extravaganza” (great name I know). All of the guys were broken into teams of 4 and they had to create a Super Bowl snack. Friday they turned in their recipes and Danielle and Anna went out and shopped for everything and tonight after dinner they made their snack. I’m pretty sure some of our guys have no idea that a Super Bowl snack is something equal to chips and dip or pigs in a blanket. Three of the recipes that I have saw were . . . Bruschetta, Smoothies, and Korean pancakes! Quite the international flair to the superbowl this year!! We have about 50 people watching upstairs right now, (COLTS JUST SCORED 17-13! GO HORSE!)
THE SKIERS!
