This week is Pan-Hel Week, the fraternity celebration at Wabash.  What do we do all week?  We play games.  The fraternities play games against each other.  Stuff like tug-o-war.  It’s a lot of fun, I guess.  I wouldn’t know: I’ve been sleeping during the day all week.

            I did go to the bed race yesterday, though.  Every fraternity is supposed to build some sort of cart out of a mattress, and they’re supposed to organize a team of people fast enough, strong enough, and brave enough to push the things around the mall.  It’s exciting.  Most people use shopping carts for their vehicles, and they shove their mattress down inside their cart, and then they put the driver in the cart with the mattress.  We cut the basket portion off our cart, so ours was different.

            I didn’t run in the first two heats because I didn’t want to; I was tired and kind of sick and didn’t want to get hurt.  I ran the third one, though, because Jorge got really tired and couldn’t run another one.  It was a lot of fun.  It was tiring.  We did pretty well, winning the first two heats and losing the third.  I think we would have won the third had we run it relay style, like the other team did.  We’ll do that next year—if we have enough people.
