Homecoming at SEGL!

HOMECOMING AT SEGL

Friday night we had a super chill night at the house making pumpkin cookies and listening to chill music...and interpretive dancing! We needed a chill night because we had PSAT's early on Saturday. The PSAT's were ehhh...not horrible but not good. After that, we hung out in Dupont Circle for a while then went to the school to see everyone there for homecoming. It was kind of overwhelming because of all the new people but it was so fun. We met alot of kids from last years' semesters which was cool and they're all pretty chill :) Noah did the mini chocolate case study and then strangely enough we went to a chocolate tasting after. The chocolate was SO good and I don't even like chocolate that much! Then we went back to the school and listened to 4 past students talk about their organizations (which we're in the process of making now). Some have started and some are still getting there, but they're all really cool. One that's similar to the one I want to start is: http://www.teenocracy.net/ made by Markus Batchelor. Then we (the current students) went back to the house to get ready for the Gala!
     The Gala at night was awesome. It was at our school. My Mom and I were both there and we met alot of people. It was really cool to see how much bigger the school is than just "us," the ones who are here now. There's so many supporters of the school and so many friends and past students. The School started just as a vision by Noah and now it's reality and it's amazing to be a part of. I can't even describe the feeling. Everyone in the same room was 1) crowded and 2) really cool because we got to talk to so many different people. P.S. there were really really good cookies! Before we met the students from last year, Robbie (Our Residential Dean/my advisor/coolest guy ever) kind of told us who he thinks we're most like. I think he may have gotten mine right....maybe...a little....But I'm still an individual! :)
     After the Gala my Mom and I went to potbellys and I slept over at her hotel. We had breakfast at a crepe place in the morning which was really good and then she went off back to Boston. Adios Mom! See you for Thanksgiving!
    So ya....the weekend was really cool :)
