In some dorms, students barely say hi to their fellow hall mates. That is not that case in Calvert! Here on the second floor we are all very close and go on several outings together. Every night at six we go to Mabee Dining Hall for dinner and eat as a “family.” On some nights, we will go out for dinner or go get some ice cream. Recently we went to “Demo’s,” a delicious Greek restaurant on St. Mary’s Street. The nephew of the famous Demo is a resident on our floor!
Birthdays on Calvert are also a special event. For Becca’s birthday we made her a cake and sang happy birthday. After cake, we held the Trinity tradition by taking her to the fountain. The entire hall decided to partake in throwing her in and we all enjoyed our evening dip.
This past Thursday night we all went to the midnight showing of the new scary movie, Paranormal Activity. Our hall took up almost an entire row and by the end of the movie we were all clinging to each other in fright. We thought it was a great movie even if none of us were able to sleep that night. The original plan was to go ghost hunting after the movie by visiting the old railroad tracks. The story behind the railroad tracks is that years ago a school bus was hit by a train and several of the kids on board were killed. Legend has it that if you cover your windows with flour and park your car next to the tracks you can see the handprints of the children as they push you safely across the tracks. Needless to say, after the movie we were all too scared to go visit any ghosts so we went on a 2 a.m. Whataburger run instead. While the visit to the tracks was postponed it was still a great night on Calvert 2nd!
