February 11- Today I biked to Amsterdamse Bos, a park near where I live, with Dan, Ian, Andrew, Canada, Tyler, and Jacob. We biked there in order to participate in the “Sem Pond Jump” which is an annual tradition every February at Calvin. Since we didn’t have a frozen pond to jump in, we found the next best thing, an unfrozen pond! Don’t get me wrong, the water was still really cold, just not as cold. But we all recited the Sem Pond dedication and proceeded to jump in.
(There is also a video of us jumping in on my facebook page.) The water first seemed really cold but once we got out and dried off it was not that cold, but we still had to bike 15 minutes back to home.
The experience made me feel like I was partly back at home as all the Calvin students back at home were jumping in the Seminary Pond the same day.
