Semester 2: Back with A Vengeance


History, Bible, Economics, Physical Education, Weight Training, Student Council, Worship leader, and accompaniment for the winter musical. I think it's fair to say that this semester is kicking off with a vengeance. Economics (the class I picked up) has been a blast. Finally teaching in my majored in college definitely helps too! But I need to tell you all this story. Have you ever heard of the game "Bigger or Better"? It's a fairly simple ice-breaker game where teams are given a paperclip and sent out around a public area to trade for something bigger or better using no money and playing for keeps. Well we were covering exchange in economics and I thought "What a great game to play?" Now, I didn't exactly ask the powers-that-be in the school if this would be alright, I just simply chose to live by the saying it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. So out they go, 4 groups of 4 students each out to scavenge the school for things bigger and better. Now students did come back with some interesting things (phones, boxes of tea, aloe vera) but bar-none, the winner goes to the group that brought back a computer monitor! A real-life, working monitor. It was unbelievable and, I thought, a great start to a crazy semester!
