Community Day!

My community day post is late, but here it is...Wednesday was Community Day at LCC, which means we had an opening assembly (where I sat on stage with staff/faculty, so weird!) and then a Mugė which means carnival or fair in Lithuanian. It was outside on the Michaelsen lawn where there were 'booths' from each department offering various carnivalish games and information on clubs, etc. There was a staff vs student tugowar which I participated in to the best of my weakie ability, and they beat us 2 out of 3 rounds. Then due to popular demand, more burgers were served like at Serve Day! This time there were no pickles, just cucumbers and 'marinated onions' for topping - but I wasn't in charge so I was glad I didn't have to worry about food for 600 people! I was on the decoration committee, so I bought tons of balloons and ribbon and put them up so the area looked fair-like. There are some photos posted of the event in my photo album.

Other than that, my week has been busy as ever - pairing up student volunteers and faculty members as assistants, placing students into orphanages to spend time with children and so on. I'm so proud to be able to be helping the LCC community and the community of Klaipeda by providing helping hands where there are needs. I am glad it is Friday though, as the weekend will be a welcome break...
