Today we had the chance to sleep in until 10, which we took full advantage of. We then got ready to go to the laundromat and Shag was nice enough to take our clothes down in his car so we did not have to carry them all the way there. Going to the laundromat was an interesting experience as we played cards and read while we were waiting for our clothes to wash and dry. When we got back from the laundromat, we played an interesting game of charades, and we hope to play another game later tonight. Team Cold then made linner as Team Hot went to get stuff to make sandwiches for the Pride Parade tomorrow. We had a delicious meal of home fries, scrambled eggs, and toast. We then had a longer reflection where we discussed how we were doing on the four tenets of immersion: simple living, community, social justice, and spirituality. We decided as a group that we were living too easily and to cut back on some of the luxuries we have had this first week. For the next week none of us will eat snacks, some of us will shower every 3 days, and some will wear only 4 shirts in this next week. We are now journaling and will maybe watch a video later tonight. We are excited to see you all next Saturday for the potluck, and parents our invited to come to mass at 4:00.

P.S. Mr. Dineen, we were able to give up snacks next week because all the chocolate crinkles were gone, and we hope to see them next Saturday.

Hello SF Immersion,
It's hard to believe you have been on immersion for a week. Have you gotten used to living simply? Your dedication to live that principle to the fullest is evidenced by your new goal. I'm sure you will come back with a different perspective on life. Hope you enjoy yourselves at the parade. You deserve some fun after all the hard work you have been doing.
Love,
Laura Fowler
P.S. Cristina, sorry you missed #749. You were there in spirit.
