Day in the Life

Preview a Typical Schedule

8.30 am I usually get up around 8:30, take a shower and get ready for Current Events, which starts at 9. If I have Kitchen Patrol [KP] I'll wake up at 7:30 and go to that. Everybody's got to do it because if we want to eat we have to clean up after ourselves. If I don't have KP there's no reason to wake up that early. Current Events is basically another gathering where we go and talk about stuff that goes on in the world. I like when we watch little shows and clips and afterwards we have to talk about them.

After Current Events I go to the Roundhouse for my Saturday Seminar. I like that because we get to hang out with little kids from Estes Park. We switch off each Saturday between the Learning Resource Center [LRC ] and Human Performance Center [HPC]. Some people swim and some people play soccer. In the LRC we watch a movie and I like that too because it's laid back. We had a dinner one night for the families so they could get to know us more.

12.00 pm Saturday Seminar ends around lunch time. If I have Kitchen Patrol (KP) I’ll head over to the kitchen. Lunch is at 12.30 pm on Saturday’s

1.30 pm After Lunch I usually sign up for an activity that is posted in the Lodge. I usually go to Kind Coffee. I like the Kind Shakes, it’s an ice cream coffee drink and just getting off campus. It relieves some stress if I have any stress about classes if we just go and hang out and drink coffee. I walk around sometimes and check out some of the other shops they have around there too.

7.00 pm After Kind Coffee I come back and chill and just hang out until dinnertime. Then after dinner there is usually another activity planned like a movie or bowling around 7 o’clock. At the bowling alley I like to get curly fries and a drink. I like to kick it and just bowl, especially when there are some people there that I’m really cool with. I’m not that good at, well kinda good, but I like it.

10.30 pm After bowling I’ll come back to my house [Juniper] and record music or hang out with Steve, the person I talk to the most in this whole school. He's a good guy and he was my mentor after Wilderness last trimester. At curfew I’ll put on my iPod and listen to that. It helps me fall asleep.
