Wow! Time has flown by these past few days. I have completely neglected my blog and haven't updated my wonderful followers in a while! I am so sorry everyone.
At least now I have some things to talk about. Where should I begin? Tonight is Tuesday January 25th and as a tent we decided to take the night off from sleeping outside and use our one free night of grace we received when the boys won the volleyball tournament. We figured tonight was the best night to do this because tomorrow night we will start camping out for the Boston College game on Thursday and Thursday night is a game night so we will have grace for 2 hours after the game and then Friday we don't have to be back until 2:30. Once Friday is over we start White Tenting and only 2 people have to be in the tent at night. Tonight seemed like the most practical night to take off. Eric was on duty from 10-11 and he picked up Only Burger for everyone while Gabby and I went on a Cookout milkshake run. Such a healthy, scrumptious night in Bassett away from the rain and the cold.
Another important update about Tent 8: We received our first missed tent check because of the warnings we were given about plugging in electronics inside the tent. The line monitors have warned us numerous times not to do it and the rule recently changed that extension cords are no longer allowed in Kville. You must sit beside the wall to charge electronics. However, some members of our tent were unaware of this new rule and used the extension cord during their tent shift. John, the head line monitor, noticed this and gave our tent it's first missed check. We have to be on top of things now. One more mess up and we are bumped to the end! And right now there are currently 60 tents in Kville. I am not trying to get bumped to the back of that line!! No sireee. After pre-tenting and everything we have been through, tent 8 is staying right where it is. Therefore, we have cracked down and created schedules the tent must follow in order to ensure the tent is occupied at all times. No missed checks allowed!! The good news is, come Saturday we move into White Tenting and we are given another warning to work with as well. We just have to be extra careful until the weekend. We can do this!
Some unfortunate news to share with everyone, I am not a sorority girl and went through the rush process only to fail in the end. So unfortunate. But it's whatever because I am going to be the best darn cameron crazy there is!!
I must say, I am relieved to not have to be sleeping outside in the pouring rain right now. I am currently in my steaming hot room prepared for bed with all of my homework done ready to wake up and eat breakfast at the Marketplace, something I have been restrained from doing for a while. Anyways, I must head to bed to wake up at 7:30. With love, Sam
