It rained. Hard. We were bringing 35 people back from Midnight Madness at Steak 'n Shake and started seeing bullet-sized drops of rain hitting the windshield. But, Steak 'n Shake was still great; we had some new inductees into the goodness of Steak 'n Shake as well as some veteran Steakburger lovers. It didn't matter in the end though; the noobs and the veterans both sucked down their Hand-Dipped shakes with no problems.
Earlier in the afternoon, we took a group of 20 monkeys to Xtreme Lazer Tag for a couple of games. Some went for the opposing bases, some went for the highest kills honor, and everyone had a blast! At the end, a couple vans went to Taco Bell for a post-game fill up.

Back on campus, people enjoyed a variety of movies and card games (Euchre was ever popular, and Taken, Bourne Ultimatum, and Sex Drive were some of the more popular movies).
The academic part of the day was relatively normal, with the exception of the Effective Technical Communication seminars in the morning. Since Catapult's all about seeing the full spread of Rose-Hulman's courses and activities, we like to show the monkeys what our humanities are like, as well as all the engineering classes. The Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) Department is actually the largest department at Rose because of our philosophy that best-trained engineer still isn't worth much if he can't communicate his ideas effectively.
The projects are coming along very well; everyone I've talked to seems to be having a lot of fun!
