If there’s a theme I can think of to define this weekend, it would be memory.

So many of us, staff and students alike can get wrapped up in the busy week and sometimes perform the incredible feat of forgetting how to have fun. It happens to everyone. We get so busy with work that when someone tells us it’s time to relax, we hardly know what to do with ourselves.

Below, our boy Maximilian has all the enthusiasm to make it to the gym, but can be seen here doing what can only be watching an instructional video on the machine he is about to use.  But working out and exercise are a good way of getting ones mind off the present moment in a productive way.

Others are a little more experienced with their pass-times and look to practise things they are already familiar with in order to relax. Below, Richard and David can be seen at the cooking club, producing cupcakes.

Despite some heavy rain, the greens were open for business, and Kirill, Boris and Azamat took to the driving range to find some solace in sending some balls down range.

And above, Nihad revived efforts from last year in cycling to Geneva and back, while taking us along for the ride this Sunday!

It can be difficult to let go of the momentum of the week. So sometimes it takes some effort to relax. A slight paradox, but the truth none the same. And we at Olympus are revitalised for another wonderful week on campus.

All the best from Olympus Boarding House
