Welcome to another day in Sun Devil Town, where the warmth of the Sun matches the warmth in our hearts. I am so excited to share with all of you a day full of touching moments; from the fear and stress of completing our multimedia projects to the joy that brought tears of happiness. Morning on CampusWith a cup of Ice White Chocolate Mocha in hand, tooth bag over my shoulder, and dressed in a fancy outfit with glasses, I walked confidently from the dorm to the classroom, enjoying my own little "main character" moment (Crazy In Love by Beyonce playing in the background). Alright, let's refocus. I am constantly amazed by the breathtaking view of the ASU Downtown campus, with palm trees and tall buildings surrounding the school. Question: Do you have any tricks or tips to bring some of them to Bosnia? #AskingForAFriend It is summer break so the campus is relatively quiet with few people around but the best group of students is hidden in the classroom 430. Spilling the Tea with AndrewAndrew if you are reading this, WE MISS YOU! The first activity was a meeting with Andrew where we mutually reflected on the previous period of the program. We shared our impressions as well as general thoughts about the activities. Kristy says: The clock is ticking The second part of the day was reserved for the Lab day - a time that we used to work on our projects or, for some of us, at least start with them (Mirza and Stephanie have left the chat). As you could see from the pictures, we are PROs in video editing/taping, writing, and interviewing. Spreading Love and Support
It was an emotional and enjoyable experience at the same time. I was very happy that I could help bring light to those we met, but the whole scenario brought tears to my eyes, reminding me to appreciate everything. A Night to RememberIn ASU Gordon Commons, around midnight, it wasn't that quiet! WE APOLOGIZE FOR THAT! The excuse is: You wouldn't normally be in the USA celebrating your 22nd birthday. Saška, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! After we finished our volunteering, we had some time to rest and prepare for another day. However, a couple of us went to buy cake, balloons, and stuff for Saška's surprise. We decided to gather in the common room of our dorm where we would set up everything and bring Saška at 12:00 am. BUT, let's raise a glass or two to all the stress we went through! BECAUSE Saška decided to spend her evening on the main terrace that is between rooms and common space, which basically blocked our way to prepare everything for her. It was 11:45 pm, so we came up with plan B: “FAKE IT UNTIL MAKE IT”. Téa suddenly got the strongest headache #LOL, so she pulled Saška to her room to find a painkiller. We used those 5 minutes and 43 seconds to run with the cake, balloons, and confetti. In the end, we managed to set up everything without her knowing. Guinness World Records, contact me! Honestly, I am just wondering how we didn’t break that cake while running. #GodBlessSUSI23 But in the end, everything went perfectly. The cherry on top was the moment when Saška's boyfriend sent me a video to play for her (Indeed, she found her Prince on White Horse!). It brought another wave of tears and emotions for all of us. Most of my fellows are in relationships, so they miss their partners too. Lucky me, I'm single, so I don't have anyone to share my popcorn on this rollercoaster ride of emotions! #MorePopCornsForMe Until next time, LIVE YOUR MOMENT!
