On Campus

I wonder how I got anything done this week. I wonder how any of us got anything done. I can only speak for myself, and I had a blast staying on campus!

Okay, the food was not my favorite. I guess I can't complain because our dorm's cafeteria is being remodeled, so the food selection wasn't as varied as it would've been. I'd have to stay I enjoyed breakfast more than any other meal, though.

The R.A.'s were so cool. One taught me to play pool...well, lets just say I'll never be a pool champ! A few went on frequent runs to the Juice Stop around the corner. But the coolest thing they did was dance with us on the last night when they extended our curfew.

You'd think that when you get 4 girls together in a house that there would be drama. It wasn't like that in my suite. I think that our late night talk (which was usually about boys) really made us bond, and I was more than sad to come home at the end of the week.

The best part of the week actually made us sore. I never thought that I'd rock climb, complete obstacles 50 feet in the air, and go down a zip-line. Camp Carol Joy Holling is a place I never knew existed, and I'd love to go again. It'd be fun to work there, but it's much too far away for my taste and gas.

Even though the HPER building is being constructed, I still enjoyed myself. It was the first time I've worked out all summer. Ha. So, I pushed myself to keep going, and I was active for the two hours we were there.

The staff gave us ice cream which I love. And while watching a movie (I chose The Great Debaters, which I had never seen), we had ice popcorn and candy. No, they don't exactly promote healthy eating, but I won't complain!

So, I suppose we actually had to work while we were there...English became difficult to keep up with. I became really bored with my reading, or maybe it was just the environment. I didn't want to miss anything, so I admit I'd rush through the reading, so I could join everyone in the lounge or where they were located.

My partner and I had to meet with our Service Learning kid from the Boys And Girls Club. We helped her make a collage of her dream careers. She wants to be a teacher, an accountant, an artist, a veterinarian, or a doctor. And my job is to later help her figure out what it takes to reach those dreams.

What wasn't so helpful was our library tour. It was probably just me, and the group that I sat with. I couldn't focus and frankly I didn't care. I'm sure that information would have been helpful if I actually did though.

The Mojo Hunt was too helpful either. That was probably because I came a little late from my Service Learning project. It just shocked me that my peers knew so much about the campus, so it probably wasn't helpful because I almost felt left out.

I guess I've learned how to manage my time better, which I honestly never had problem with before my stay on campus. I've always had pride in the way that I manage my time and multi task. But I wouldn't change a thing. I enjoyed almost every minute of my stay.
