Poisoned in West Virginia

I got a good taste of poison ivy this week that my face bears the evidence of. We had a great retreat in Hedgesville, WV for fall outreach planning. We pumped our student leaders up with dazzling and exciting events on the docket for the first week of next semester. Kyle Ludvik, '09-'10 team director for FOCUS UMD, was present at the retreat to meet and help plan. Fr. Kyle Ingels, our chaplain, also brought great vision and ideas to our discussions, leading us to harmony with programming at the CSC. We discussed a lot of great ideas and sifted through experiences of the past year, but the retreat also presented an opportunity to come together in fellowship off campus. We stayed in one of our student leaders family vacation home. The ladies slept inside on nice warm beds, the guys camped outside in the rain. Both parties were very content with their accommodations. We men like rough living. We also had fun climbing some trees. And now I have poison ivy on my face. Last night I rubbed bleach all over it. This morning I did it again. I'm pretty sure it's toast.
