Blueberry Piecake

Tonight was the first Blueberry Piecake of the semester- basically an open mic night for Franklin students.  It was in one of the common areas up the hill and was surprisingly packed! There were about 100 people there, which is officially 1/4 of the college population and it was actually really enjoyable! The idea of blueberry piecake is it is a place to do whatever you want without judgement and it started in Portland, Oregon and is now in a couple places around the states. To give you an idea of how free it is, 2 boys got up and had a pushup competition.. literally anything passed as acceptable! My favorite act was when one person sang, and another person rapped at the same time and it was so off and original that it was actually amazing! I have never seen anything like it before.

Bad news though: I think the Franklin plague is quickly approaching. Apparently since the school is so small everyone gets sick at the same time so they call it the Franklin plague. Tomorrow Shelayne and I are setting out to the grocery store to buy as many kiwis as we can and just nom them all so we don't get sick! Apparently kiwis have twice the vitamin c of an orange and twice the fiber of an apple! So excited.
Hopefully I will get out of town and to Italy this weekend without getting sick!
