Murray See Murray Do: New Friends

It's been a whirlwind of activity these last two weeks. From meeting tons of new freshmen girls, to karoake, to baking brownies with friends, to jenga and connect four, we are definitely having fun. We've met so many girls and have loved it! We've been told by the staff here that if girls come off campus to do anything with you, it is a small victory! Last week, I spent time with Honey, Taylor and Hannah and we did everything from walking around campus to meet freshmen, to teaching girls that we met earlier how to play spoons and kemps. It was so exciting because each day a new groups of girls met us somewhere to hang out. We baked cookies with Friendly and her friends, and sang Karoake with Aw-Air and 2 of her friends. That was such a sight, especially because their were only about 5 English songs that worked on the screen. We sang How Do I Live, Hero and Killing Me Softly (we scored an 88 by the way). (The girls were way impressed with Hannah's voice, since she's a real life Von Trapp :) It's been awesome to teach English to girls--most of us have had the chance to meet one on one with some girls and help with their conversational English. It's been a great way to get face time with girls and meet their needs in a different way. We've eaten lots of different thai dishes, some really good, some not so good. I never thought I would love rice so much--mostly because its about the only thing I consistently want to eat. Haha.
