Well my day was sort of short, as I ended up sleeping until 4:30. We finished up the Halo Tournaments tonight. Our team won them all. The last game ended up being 50-48 in Team Slayer and I had 3 of the last 4 kills to finish it for us. It felt pretty good.
When TfT started on Wednesday the sun was out and it was warm: shorts weather. Thursday it began to rain, the ground turned to mud as the rain drained into the tent. It continued to rain. Friday a brief tornado warning made the Dux boys rush the electronics into the Wellness Center. As Saturday ticked by the snow came down. 100 Hours of Teetering and Tottering under the worst possible circumstances.
All of our electronic stuff is muddy to some degree. I, personally, only tottered for 1.5 hours. A very small and almost shameful amount. But I did dedicate my weekend to being in the Tent. If they needed me, I tottered. Hence the 1.5 hours. Overall there was generally a crowd except for in the mornings. I left tonight with 5 Dux Boys and 1 Guest still in the tent. 2 of the above were getting ready to leave. Who knows how long of a shift they will be on. Do I feel bad leaving? Yes, I do. But 15 other members of the Club weren't there either. I almost feel that it should be a 50 Hour Marathon because we could still raise the same amount of money and do it all in one weekend. It's a ton of work-not that I did much work, but the 7-10 guys who did, really worked hard.
TfT was on the Front page of the Herald Bulletin a couple of days ago. Overall we raised around $5,000, I think. I'm hoping to win a Futon. We'll see if that pans out.
