Liv, you have to understand that big tents
where students can hang out, eat, and interact do not fit the image of
Bishop’s.

We
Appreciate You
Elke Johnson, your Instagram selfies are
super sick. Thanks for keeping us updated girl. Shred on.
WOPO
Tomorrow at 7:30, your beloved men in
speedos play the La Jolla High Groms in water polo in the CIF Semi Finals.
Their blond-haired bandits have a slight genetic advantage because they were
all conceived in the water at Windansea, but our team showed them who’s better
on Halloween and will do so again tomorrow. Show up and show them that we run
LJ and Rigos, and that our boys are hotter.

Quiz
Some people got the lyrics quiz right, but
only because they looked up “Let Her Go” by Passenger after watching Addie and
Claire slow dance to it.

You all may have noticed the beautiful art installation that was assembled masterfully after a few labor intensive hours on the lawn next to the rec room yesterday. This temple represented the much needed peace around campus. It was erected to be a place for calmness, meditation, salon style gathering, and yoga.
Of course, it was assembled with the purest and
most sincere intentions. I was simply pursuing my entrepreneurial spirit and
progressing America forward.
All day people gawked and questioned- what is
this tent? Aliens? Hippies? A mushroom? An onion? This tent sparked curiosity
and was awe-inspiring. It was such because it was done on a whim.
I thought I had done something great to enrich
the community! I felt that new space would be incredible for people to refuel,
refresh, and then face the day.
Sadly, at around lunchtime, while enjoying my
lunch in the tent with students from all different grades congregating
together, I was told the temple must be taken down at once.
Initially, I thought this was a joke because
why in the hell would anyone want this magical dream boat to be taken down?
It's the most beautiful art installation Bishop's has every seen.
I went to see Mr. Beamer, wanting to chat and
have a little heart to heart. Shut down! I couldn't even get one more day with
the temple of my dreams. Ms. Roche. Shut down as well, even though our chat was
lovely and our time glancing at the temple with my arm around her was
heartfelt.
I felt hopeless. Why? I got these answers.
The temple doesn't fit the image of Bishop's. What
could be going on inside the tent? Oh my.
I started off the day saying that this was the
best day in a long time because the lotus temple was finally up and was
bringing joy and plenty of curiosity, but ended the day crushed that my temple
had to be taken down.
Why didn't I ask before setting it up? I wanted
the temple to shock and awe people. I wanted it to be spontaneous. I knew that
I did not want to wait to get approval or denial from ten different people and
then start an email frenzy and ruffle thousands of perfectly primped feathers.
Maybe asking for forgiveness is easier than
asking for permission?
I am sad to see my dreams crushed so quickly. I
thought Bishop's encouraged the out of the box thinking and spontaneity that I
was delivering. It's not like the temple was doing any damage or causing any
trouble...
