Bed, Bath, and WAY Beyond Triumphs!

So here is an update on the infamous Bed, Bath, and WAY Beyond dodge ball team. The last game we played we came with hostility in hand and a competitive spirit. The warm up in which we usually just toss the balls back and forth became quite violent, complete with yelling and taunting. If you were listening from the surrounding track above, you would of thought a bunch of kindergartners were about to go to war in our very own EMU gymnasium. But in fact it was just a bunch of rowdy college kids trying to pelt each other with every-color-of-the-rainbow balls.

With the fog of defeat still lingering over us, we brought out our best for the first game. We beat them fairly fast causing our team morale to double. After beating them fairly quickly the second game, our morale tripled to its peak where we suddenly felt the Mennonite sympathy set in. The third game became a sympathy round where all of our guys threw left handed. It was a knee-slapper to say the very, very least. After they won that round, although not by much, we finally ended their agony and beat them in the forth game.

After our team huddle which the other team joined in on because they had lost their team spirit and wanted to steal ours, my roomy and I headed back to the room full of pride for our team. The whole match took approximately 15 minutes rather than the usual 30-40.It was AmAzInG! Our next game is this coming Thursday night. I hope our team will keep up the winning streak so wish us luck! But I will keep you updated on our progress in the dodge ball intramurals.

As people fill the Quad with picnic blankets and laughter, spring time is finally starting to show its fragrant face. Although it abandoned us for a few days with blustery, nipping-at-your-nose winds and winter jacket worthy temperatures, it has decided to grace us with its presence once again. The long sunshine hours are welcomed by the smiling faces in the Woods as we congregate to debrief at the end of the day and take a deep breath.

This weblog will be short and sweet insuring more time to go outside and enjoy this wonderful weather. I hope you are all having a good week and remember it's almost over! A small piece of advice and wisdom before you go: Live simply so others can simply live. Think about that. Have an awesome evening! Peace.
