Excitement at Maxwell Field

5010380786 53b32f0a3e m Excitement at Maxwell FieldLast Friday we had our second sports night of the year at Maxwell Family Field! We were joined by the Visiting Scholars Ministry and we split into six teams and played our classic staple of games: Wild Turkey, Ultimate Frisbee, and soccer. It was certainly a relief for us to get some exercise after a busy week of research and coursework. The mental fatigue didn’t show on our faces though, as everyone was going all-out in the games and having a good time with rocking music playing in the background.

After the games, we took a big group picture around the Cal logo on the field and then we enjoyed watermelon and sago pudding up in the parking lot. That was definitely my highlight of the week–I’m already looking forward to the next sports night! Hope you guys had fun too!

Photos & Recap of GSWN #2

It was a packed house at the YWCA as we enjoyed a delicious Korean BBQ dinner to start off. The highlight of the night was an intriguing skit entitled “Life,” in which the main characters attempted to understand the meaning of an abstract painting with that title, only to discover at the end that all of their interpretations were incorrect. Watch the skit to see why.

Afterward, we listened to a message by Chul where he talked “About Life,” evaluating what it means to really live life. What makes it worth living, and where does this desire come from? If you weren’t able to hear the message, check out the podcast. Following the message, we had a fun time of rousing group games. The exciting finish came when we were asked to build the tallest possible tower with all of the items we had on us, including shoes, backpacks, paper and anything else we could find.
