YAWN...Awakening 2016

AWAKENING IS A PROGRAM AT HARTWICK that has about 60 first-year students form 5 groups and take on diferent challenges (known as intiatives) over its five-day course. Yesterday, I returmed from Awakening 2016 with many new memories and friends.

Saturday, Aug 25

This was move-in day... (guess what I did). After that, we all went over to Pine Lake and started! I was in Group 1, known lovingly as Group Won (thought of by yours truly). Then we went on a camping escapade and it was pretty fly.

Sunday, Aug 26

We came back from the campout mid-morning, and I'm sure we did something else...but what...I really don't remember.

Monday, Aug 27

Again, I don't quite recall... We went swimming in the lake, I remeber that.

Tuesday, Aug 28

This day I do remeber. We did low ropes and I tripped on an element. A few hours and one ER visit name later, I have a hard splint on my wrists (its like the bottom of a cast...like half of one) and a severe sprain! Fun times. On the bright side, I got to watch Paula Deen make diabetes food on TV

This day was high ropes, which I am generally great at. So, the lack of use of most my left hand was the real challenge. Despite this, I was able to complete one element and attempted the other one with valour. Huzzah!
Also, we had the Contra Dance. It was much fun!

Thursday, Aug 30

After waking up and leaving the cabin, we went to put up the Awakening 2016 flag (designed by me!) in the "sacred space" where all the three other classes' flags fly. Then I left!
