Thursday, March 22nd:
Life and Teachings. Plenary. Nap. Independent study. Exchange of life stories with Ian. Homework...and finally: MIDNIGHT PREMIER OF THE HUNGER GAMES! Let me just tell you this was such a good movie...they did an excellent job of adapting the book! Contrary to popular belief..there are benefits to living in a small mountain town...no huge crowds to get into the theater! (minus a group of high schoolers) We all loved it! A few people here decided to dress up as some of the characters (see picture)...hilarious! We got home at around 2 am and time for bed!

Friday, March 23rd:
Chapel. Lunch. Hanging out. And at night...Trek team reunion! We went to a campsite down the road had a bonfire, s'mores, and IBC root beer (in the glass bottles and all!) It was so fun to be reunited with my team (even though we see each other every day!) I can't wait to go on 2nd Trek with these people...the rumor is that 2nd Trek= Twice as far, twice as hard, and twice as fun? We'll see!
Saturday, March 24th:
A bunch of people went skiing today...I was supposed to go but woke up feeling oh so sick so I opted out. I spent most of the day in bed and then went outside and read for a good chunk of the day. Ian decided to steal my phone last night and take a bunch of obnoxious pictures and videos on it. So...conveniently he was gone skiing so I stole all the pillows off his bed...so great. However, he decided to get me back upon his return and stole all of my bedding...rude. Tonight we headed to Sky Walk: aka Fresno's indoor trampoline arena! It was so fun! We went from 10pm-midnight and they had laser lights and music playing while we were there. After we were all sweaty and gross...we made a late night run to In and Out...another night not getting home till 2 am...and this time I had to make my bed at 2 in the morning...not fun!

Sunday, March 25th:
Church. After church several families adopted all of us students. We went in groups of 2 to 4 and got to go home with a family and they served us lunch! It was so great having a home cooked meal! I went with Amanda, Drew, and Arielle, and the nicest people had us over! We ate fried chicken, mashed potatoes, veggies, and drank from iced tea in mason jars while listening to their record player (ummm...my life?!) They even had 2 girls who decided to first dress Drew up and then dress us all up! (See pictures!) Upon return to campus I did homework, napped, and then we had a Q&A session with our professors. Here at good old High Sierra we read a lot of tough stuff...tough in the sense of it's sometimes hard to understand...but more tough in that challenging topics are brought up (some examples: predestination, evolution, mythology in the Bible, etc.) so many of us were feeling discouraged and exhausted of reading all this material that truly challenges your faith. However this impromptu Q&A session was great and we were encouraged to "take up our yolk" and keeping working hard in this time of our lives as students and scholars. Next...we had a community meeting...we talked over some stuff and took communion together...greatness! Time for bed!
