The Cannon Activities Center is sort of the hub of campus- we have weekly devotionals where speakers come from around the world, talent shows and Culture Nights, concerts and all the big school events, along with my favorite, basketball games.

Previous to coming out here, I didn't really care much for basketball. I went to a couple of games in high school to shoot for a class assignment, then to a couple more because the coach/my health teacher asked me to keep taking pictures, but it wasn't a big deal.

It's different here. It probably has something to do with the fact that we're a small school- 2,400 students, and there isn't usually very much happening. That's at least the reason I went to the first game, but then I caught the bug and didn't miss a home game until the end of the season. It was an awesome season, the Seasiders made it to the Sweet 16 before losing the game 58-59 with three seconds left on the clock. That was a rough lose, but I felt a little bit better when the team that beat us lost the final 53-56 in over time. Our final record was 27-2, and the only other game lost was the very first one.

(And the half head you can see at the bottom of the picture? He's my favorite kid on campus.)
