We are three weeks into the basketball season so far, and it’s somehow felt a lot longer. During tryouts, there were a lot of nerves going around, surrounded by the question of who will be on what teams. Chika Tsumagari (12) said she was “a bit anxious because I haven’t been in an official team in so long and none of us really have.”
Now that it has started up a bit more, it has given players a chance to grow personally, despite having played for such a short time so far. Arielle McIver (11) said, “It has helped me to keep persevering and to not give up.” This basketball season continues to grow girls from different grades closer and bond over the common interest in the sport.
Tsumagari (12) also said, “There’s so much chemistry, and I already see progress and our teamwork improving!”
Although tiresome, I think the season has been fun, or as Haylee Douglas said, “It’s been slayful,” and something to look forward to playing in and watching.
Along with basketball season, it is also Thanksgiving soon. During this time, the dorm puts on a big Thanksgiving dinner. In preparation for this, all the dorm kids sign up to make one dish, appetizer, or dessert that is on the menu.
Amy Park (11) said, “My favorite part is cooking in the dorms with my dorm mates because it is a good bonding experience.”
In some cases, like preparing the roast turkey, we have to start cooking a week in advance. Kyuhwi Han (12) is making our roast turkey this year and defrosts it a week and a half in advance so she can start preparing it on the day everyone else will be in the kitchen preparing their own meals or desserts. It is a day full of a lot of bonding and chaos.
