Hey there, Prospectives!

Hope you all enjoyed the past week and aren’t too bogged down by schoolwork.  Thankfully, this has been another week with a light workload for me, so I have definitely enjoyed it.

Last weekend actually set the tone for my week.  Friday night was our Ngoma bonding activity, which I know we all enjoyed.  Some of our members cooked and other food was bought, and we just hung out and had a good time together.  After that was Spider Mayhem, which is the annual event where the men and women’s basketball teams are introduced and provide entertainment for the UR students in attendance.  There were contests, prizes, food, and performances, all in the name of school spirit.

Saturday morning I helped out with Trick or Treat Street, a daytime event for children to enjoy on Halloween with games, food, and fun.  That night, I had a phenomenal time at the Spirit Lounge, which is an open mic event for a Christian community.  There was standing room only and an abundance of talent.  I am very much looking forward to the next one.

This weekend will be lots of fun as well because it is homecoming.  I don’t even know which events I will be attending because there are so many going on, but I will be sure to let you all know in my next post.  Until then, relax, release, breathe.

And GO SPIDERS!!!
