Fun(d) Fest was my first actual event in NOLA. To be honest I had never gone to Fun(d) Fest and did not know what to expect at all. I was on the Baking Committee( if you want to call it that). It was a fun process deciding different foods we could bake along with trying to think of fun games and activities. I think one of the bigger experiences I had with this event was at two separate times. Those events being as cliché as it might sound were being able to bound with some new people in NOLA. This event allowed me to make new friends with Laura. Although I have had classes before with her I have never really known her. However, the Friday before Fun(d) Fest Sam, Laura, and I went to Sam's to bake an assortment of bake goods. We were all able to not only bake together but, I also got to know each of them much more. I learned that Laura does not cook or bake often, however that changed by the end of the day as she helped us and she learned to make different pies and breads. I also got to bond with Liz Marie and Sam again on the day of the actual event. I don't think I have laughed that much with someone like I did with Liz. The whole time we were trying to get people to come and get their cars washed, I was entertained. It is experiences like these, that last a lifetime. Although it is more then wonderful to help others, doing so should not be a burden. It should be enjoyable but, it also should be done along with friends that make us happy and laugh. I am excited to see what the rest of the year has in store for not only me but for us as a whole group.
