our attempt to make friends...

...resulted in my loss in a board game. And no new friends. Single tear...


It's all good though! Last night, Aaron and I thought we'd initiate some social interactions by heading to the Waybright Center (a student center/dining hall building), foreign board game in tow. Whenever we have taken evening walks around campus, we would notice students in the center studying, playing games, and generally chatting it up with each other. So we figured--let's have an impromptu board game session with some prospective friends!

The problem? No college people were in the main area of the building--just a bunch of 11ish-year-old boys. Why? I'm not entirely sure... we think they were participating in some kind of sports camp. All we were certain of was that they ate a ton of pizza, and that we were jealous.

(Pardon the picture quality--courtesy of my cell phone.)

And even though we didn't leave the building with the satisfaction that our mission had been accomplished, we at least know that if we ever needed to escape the heat in our apartment at 9pm, there's a magical place on Trinity's campus where the AC is always running and children are eating pizza. Attempt #2 will be tomorrow morning, as we "beautify the campus" at 10am! Because really, what else would we rather be doing on a Friday morning?
