College students do the strangest things...

For Matt's birthday, about a dozen BCOM students assembled on the front lawn. After sharing some delicious chocolate cake, a game of Duck, Duck, Goose ensued. Two rounds went by fairly quickly before people began to question the rules of the game. They discussed for a long time, trying out a few different methods before settling on one and demonstrating it for the sake of clarity. A few more rounds were completed successfully before someone would get confused, panic, then (essentially) cheat by either sitting back down without completing a full circuit or by grabbing their opponent and pulling them backward. These people play dirty, but no one seemed to mind. The game lasted for about an hour - as the Dean of Academics looked on in horror from a nearby window.

That's not even the half of it! The next night, eight people skipped to the Back 4 (formerly known as the Back 40) with a small package that somewhat resembled a burger. Curious to know how and why seven people would be sharing a burger, I followed them at a safe distance. The band stopped at the peak of the highest hill, and Allyson held the package above her head. "Ladies and gentleman, this is a cheese wheel. In a few moments, we will roll this cheese down this hill and chase after it. Normally, the person who catches it would win the cheese wheel, but since we are Christians, we will share."

Someone in the back piped up, "Why are we doing this again? I mean, what was the inspiration behind this?" A smile spread across Allyson's face as she explained: "Six years ago, a friend of mine returned from college and told me about the cheese run. Ever since, it has been my goal to do one. This is on my list of top 50 dreams, and you are about to help make my dream come true. We're going to give the cheese a bit of a head start. On my mark, we run!"

Facing the east slope, she drew her hand back and flinging the cheese forward, she yelled, "Go!" Everybody took off, but Cheyanne intercepted the wheel by a landslide (quite literally). Deciding the chase  had been too easy, they agreed on a re-roll on the southern slope. This time, Tim threw. As the cheese wheel bounced across the grass, the wrapper flew off, exposing several shades of mould spores. Most people stopped short, but three kept running, and Kayla emerged the victor.
