WEPO came and went so fast. I can't believe that it was as fast as it was. I had a blast and I know my mentees did too. I hope I was a good mentor and that they know I'm here for them. Here's a summary of the events.
It was weird being there and not seeing all of my friends who graduated last year. I got to see some of them at the end of WEPO though.
The table theme this year was TV channels and my team was Discovery Channel. We set up or table with a shark poster, hard hat, and some other odds and ends to represent Discovery Channel.
A big exciting thing was all of my girls were really good at responding to me this summer. I was expecting to have one or two who didn't answer anything, but they were all really good about it.
One of our ice breakers was the human pretzel (knot). We tried to do it with all 14 of us and quickly realize that would not work so we split into two groups of 7. My group somehow linked hands so that there was no possible way to untangle. Three of us were around one of the others and her arms were on either side of our chain so it would have been a never ending circle. I guess a good way to describe it is as linked rings. At one point I had told them that I am a little crazy and weird and a few responded "We know!" I introduced myself to the whole group and forgot I was junior ("I'm a junior...I think.") and everyone laughed at me.
One of the other mentors was in my group freshman year and we had signed the bridge at the park together with someone else. When we were both rovers last year, we both signed the bridge and had someone else sign it with us. This year we had one of the other girls who was in our original group sign it with us. Its sort of a silly little tradition, but kind of cool to go the next year and see where we had signed it.
At broomball the first night, the entire team decided to have a dance party at the top of the bleachers. It was totally awesome and I had so much fun with it. I'm so glad I ended up with an energetic group. There were two other mentors from my original group and all three of our teams were together on one broomball team. It was just like freshman year all over again.
There's a lot more, but I don't really feel like typing it all because it's not exciting.
I moved into my apartment Friday night and then realized I couldn't find my camera with all of my WEPO pictures on it. I tore apart my car and all of my stuff in my apartment and couldn't find it. I called my mom and was on the phone with her for about an hour or so crying the entire time. I finally found it wrapped around hangers in my closet. I was so happy when I found it!!!!!
