Intramurals

Well today began the annual intramural competition here at Cor Jesu College which will take place the rest of the week. I am really happy that I am here to experience this event that has been apart of the tradition here at the school. Like all big events, the day started off with a Mass with the College. Br. Roger's brother who is a Missionary of the Sacred Heart was the celebrant of the Mass. My hopes was that the music was going to be the same as it has been at all the past Masses because I was going to record the music, but unfortunately it wasn't. So the music they usually sing will just have to be a memory in my head.

After Mass there was a ceremonial torch lightning as well as a race of the different divisions to hang there flags by the torch. Br. Roger, myself, and the president of the student government raced ourselves. I was really trying to race and I was running really fast too and holding on to Br. Roger, by the way we were both in our cassocks racing. At the very end I trip and tumble and slide on the grass and when I got up my first reaction was, oh no my cassock. Let's just say there was a pretty grass and mud stain on it. Lucky enough the lady that washes clothes here was around and took care of it for me.

My next project was to get pictures developed as a remembrance for some people. I have been getting asked to leave something for people or they ask me for a remembrance, so I decided to give them pictures that we are in together. I went and had them developed and have already begun passing them out.

There was also a parade through Digos that was put on by the college. I got to sit on the back of the truck that last years king and queen of the intramurals rode on. It was cool. Really cool street performances by the students of the college and the different divisions and unfortunately my camera batteries died so everything else that went on I missed it.

Also had my last meeting with the Campus Ministry Office staff and it was very positive. I am truly thankful for the opportunity I have had with them and the lessons that they taught me, which I am truly thankful. I am going to miss them, but they have really helped me grow.

Tonight was the cheer-dance competition and was it amazing. I really got to see the creativity of the students hard work put into action. I wish I was able to take pictures of it, but there were some incredible performances.

As you can see a lot went on today!
