Some would wake up earlier than 7:30 to shower and get ready for the day, even as early as 6 AM, leading to the enforcement of a "no showering before 7 (in the house)" policy that sleepier kids are happy to oblige to.		*In the beginning, we woke participants up with a CD of bagpipe music and a strategically-placed stereo.

	Friday is the most lax of all the days, and tends to be the most harried and busy. It's crucial at this point that leaders pay attention to the energy and mood of the kids. If they need naps, they nap. If they need to get outside for air and get energy out, games are scheduled for free time. Typically, most groups will be right in the middle of group projects and many girls will be finishing up their personal projects. Friday night is jokingly called the "Friday Night Scramble," or FNS, amongst leaders who are working to edit and cut projects so they are ready to be presented to the parents Saturday morning. Because the leaders tend to be busier with editing work and helping out with all the participants, Friday night entertainment tends to be an easy campfire - it may be a quick skit competition or just a loose game of soccer. Several years have seen a movie night on Friday, as a way to get girls settled down. Dessert and Compline still follow the scheduled times, though Lights Out may be adjusted to fit the entertainment or the group work.

	**The schedule is very much different on Saturday. Breakfast is usually a buffet style from 8:00 to 9:00, depending on what time Mass is so the ~~girls~~ can still make the fast. ~~Girls wash~~ their own dishes,and then there is a free period where ~~girls~~ should pack up all their belongings and bedding and bring everything outside to be loaded into their parents' cars when the families arrive. Lauds may either follow breakfast or precede Mass. Mass is usually about 10:00 or 10:30, though may be different depending on the availability of the priest. Families are welcome for Lauds and Mass, and are expected to arrive before presentations begin.		*The schedule is very much different on Saturday.

	*7:30 ~~Rise~~		'''7:30 RISE'''
	**In the beginning, we woke ~~them~~ up with a CD of bagpipe music and a strategically-placed stereo. It has since evolved as technology has evolved, and the ~~girls are woken~~ up by a Pandora playlist on an iPad.

	*8:15 ~~Lauds~~		'''8:15 LAUDS'''
	**The mornings always begin with Morning Prayer, usually chanted. Whichever group is scheduled for the Liturgy of the Hours rotation will handle ~~the reading~~ and ~~the presiding~~.

	**Usually breads ~~and bagels~~ and cold cereal~~, though sometimes~~ pancakes and sausage ~~on a morning or two~~, breakfast is our way of getting the ~~girls~~ excited for the day - it's the only meal we eat indoors besides snack and the occasional dessert, and we try to show cool or inspirational videos to get their creativity going before we jump into work (~~the videos range from~~ funny, touching, dramatic~~, musical~~, or cats).		*From breads and cold cereal to pancakes and sausage, breakfast is our way of getting the kids excited for the day - it's the only meal we eat indoors besides snack and the occasional dessert, and we try to show cool or inspirational videos to get their creativity going before we jump into work.

	*9:00 ~~Tasks~~		'''9:00 TASKS'''
	**Our version of "ora et labora" has everyone doing light clean-up in the morning after breakfast. After arrival, people sign up for a task, which may be dumping trash, vacuuming the church, watering plants, or straightening up bathrooms. Every person has a job, one which never takes more than 15 minutes, to keep the space clean and efficient for the week.		*Our version of "ora et labora" has everyone doing light clean-up in the morning after breakfast.
