Queen Pin...or something like that

I am not a bowler, I just play one on Thursday nights.

But I'm not alone. In fact, there is a whole league of us wannabe bowlers...though some of my classmates are actually really good! And because we play with handicaps, everyone is on somewhat equal playing lanes, keeping the fun in the game all night long. The JGSM Bowling League is quickly becoming of the best social programs I've participated in at the Johnson School - who would have thunk it?! It must be in my blood my mom says. She and my aunt used to play in a more traditional and probably way more competitive league "back in the day". Well, I guess that could explain how I finally made the top 10 list of sharp shooting females last week!

Thursdays have become quite the social day for the Johnson school this year. Already, we had the new tradition of Sage Socials on Thursdays from 4:15-5:45pm, a happy hour of sorts where the entire Johnson community comes out to mix it up over drinks and appetizers. We also already do guest bartending on Thursday evenings. The student clubs have arranged with a local bar in Collegetown to host bar for two hours on Thursdays as a fundraiser. Essentially, the club that is hosting bar that evening will keep 50% of the tips from 9-11pm. So now that we have bowling on Thursdays from 7:15-9:30pm, our entire social calendar for the evening is complete! I like it that way.

So every Thursday evening, my fellow JGSM Bowlers and I put on our team bowling shirts (oh yes folks, we have official regalia for the occasion!), check for our singles - how else are we supposed to load up the juke box with some of the latest and greatest tunes - and practice our trash talking because every round is anyone's game. With some individual handicaps as high as 100, even some of Johnson's best bowlers can get a run for their money. I'll keep you posted on who makes it to this year's playoffs!

Cheers!
