So today was the first day of a new adventure. For a good number of us, the day started at the Cathedral with a send off performed by my very own mother. Yes for those of you who don't know, I am a PK. My mother is our current Canon for the Ordinary. She said few lovely things, and then proceeded to bless us with bubbles. That was very enjoyable.
We picked every one else up in Douglassville, and prayed again. Took more group photos and then continued on our way. We all talked, got to know one another, and for those of us who already knew each other caught up. This quickly ate up the rest of our bus ride.
Once we had arrived at Villanova, we found out that we were early, and had to wait like an hour to check in. I think this was a first for all of us. But we found a lovely and air conditioned spot to relax and eat our lunch. We also got to talk some more and get to know each other better.
Once we actually had checked in, we all got to unpack and relax before having our first real group pow-wow. We in fact had to wait even longer for this, because the dorm that the boys are staying in wasn't ready for them. Once we had all actually gotten into our rooms, we pow-wowed and then got a chance to explore and hang out. Basically, we played the lets make friends game, and then proceeded to play cards for a few hours. At least that's what I did, other people explored more, and hung out, and took naps etc.
We have the latest meal time and met for dinner at 6:30. After dinner, we went to this big field and played giant bowling, giant croquet, dorky dancing, soccer, played with bubbles, and got a chance to meet and hang with some amazing people from across the world. It was amazing. We ended our day with a glowstick evening prayer without glow sticks, and then got milk and cookies. It was awesome.
