This past quarter, I've sort of hopped onto Joanne's idea of "Restore Core." Core is a place inside our Main Library. Last year, many people of my class studied there a lot and really go to know each other there (myself, not included). Hell, boyfriend/girlfriend relationships started there and those relationships are still going strong!
For whatever reason, once we began sophomores, we stopped going and somehow our class unity died too. So I thought it was a good idea, although going to core everyday might've been too much. So I started the idea of "Core Wednesdays" (most likely because my Thursdays are pretty easy).
No matter how little or how many people come, it's always been great. One time I didn't even go and a bunch of guys ended up at BK all night, then staying up for the sunrise.
Now not to say that it's good to do nothing and not study all the time. That's not the fellowship I want to be a part of, one that is simply just constantly hanging out. However, I do this because I find that there is a lack of it in AAIV (from my end, at least). What's the point of a fellowship when the only time we're "together" is when we're sitting down on Friday nights listening to a speaker?
It's a bit discouraging seeing the Facebook event fail, but I pray I would know that God will work through the event whether many or few people show up. I will stop bothering people. Let those who come, come.
Core Wednesdays has been a large part of my spring quarter.
