Grace Bae (11), a
Jackson Dorm student, opened her eyes on one unusually quiet Friday morning, 30
April. When she checked her clock, she noticed that the time was well past
10:00 A.M. Although alarmed at the thought of being late to school at first,
upon realizing that it was a day off, she happily went back to her bed.
The long weekend in
the dorm started with breakfast at the Ziemer Dorm. After sleeping in, students
from all three dorms–Jackson, Jaffray, and Ziemer– went down to Ziemer, located
on the first floor of the building, for their first meal of the day. Ziemer
dorm provided students with glazed donuts, various fruits such as watermelons,
bananas, passion fruits, and grapes, and drinks including milo and juice. As
students ate, some talked with each other, watched sports shows on television,
and played board games. This marked a restful beginning of students’ long
weekend.
During the afternoon,
each dorm student spent their time diversely. Many students went out to hang
out with their friends or study for their upcoming AP exams. Those who stayed
at the dorms took a break from their schoolwork to nap, catch up on their
Netflix shows, and bake.
“I enjoyed the long
weekend because it gave me time to bake for my bake sales and spend time with
my dorm friends,” said Saidah Ly (10).
Not only that, but
dorm students also played indoor soccer on Friday night from 8:30 P.M. to 10:00
P.M. Ziemer Dorm students played against Jackson and Jaffray Dorm students.
Although somewhat competitive, each student who participated had an enjoyable
time exercising.
“After a relaxing
Friday, I was excited to realize that there still was a whole weekend ahead of
me,” commented Haeon Park (11).
Having one extra day
off of school allowed students to have time to pause for a while amid the
possibly busiest time of the year. Through this, students were refreshed and
once again motivated to work harder to finish the year well with Patricia,
the fish, in Busan.
