Quelf

Who knew the girl who hates public speaking would love the game Quelf?! Quelf is a board game where each player does crazy, random things. Just the other night, I had to shove the box the game came in up my shirt, draw a picture of a parachuting frog, and someone I know had to run up and down the halls yelling "Wahwahwahwahwah!!". The game Quelf opens up a whole new side of people. Take my friend Heather for example. She was a very quiet, shy girl. We MADE her play Quelf. I never knew she would yell 'Abracadabra' every time a person drew a card. It just shows that everyone has a different side than they let you first see.

Weekend

This weekend was pretty crazy. My friend, Heather, came up and visited me all weekend. It was great to have someone here that I have known for more than a month. But Heather is really interested in Wartburg, so I also wanted to show her what they don't show you on the tours: actual student life! We caught up with each other on Friday (the usual gossip from Highland), and then Saturday we did a girls day down at the Cedar Falls Mall (the one on University Ave). We then came back up to Wartburg and hung out with a lot of people. I even had to be introduced to people! But one main event we did this weekend was go to Rashomon.

Rashomon was an interesting play about a murder that was committed. It gave 3 different sides to what happened (including the man who was murdered). They had a medium speak for him. It was soo creepy! I know I say this alot, but I feel like she was staring at me the whole time! It's always interesting to see how an action can happen, but different people take different experiences from it. They all told very different stories on the one main event that happened. It showed how unreliable people can be, but also how we need to trust people and their opinions/views on things.
