TMoney42006: I'm too fat to do any runningLOL Shinnick, you crack me up............

So, this week has been pretty much uneventful.............
WAIT, LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE, ahhh yeah. alotta people have been askin about that so i'll write about it in here......

ok, Me, Ben Eastman, Andy Wiech, and Anna Hering were chosen by the seniors and officers to go to this "Freshmen Transition/Leadership Seminar" for student council. So, Tuesday, the four of us and Dean Hughes went to the Sheraton in Brookfield. This whole seminar was about transitioning frosh from 8th grade to high schoool. the conference was put on by Wilmont High School. So, we entered what they (Wilmont Link Crew) calls, "The Gauntlet" and they were on each side of the door hooping and hollaring, treating us like freshmen, so that was pretty scary lol. ha ha.......then we had a lil intro and played this icebreaker ballooon game, and i had to hug this guy Joe, and pop a balloon between our stomachs, so that was ackward. lol...........but my team won, so we got waterbottles ha ha. then we had break-out groups where we did more ice breakers with Link Crew Leaders. that was cool except that i was with a bunch of teachers lol. then dinner, then comedy sports. funny stuff. :)

Wednesday, I got to school at 7 AM. WAY TOO EARLY. we headed off again, and we wer 20 min early for breakfast, so we walked around Brookfield Square with all the old people lol. good times ha ha. then breakfast, and we did this cool thing in our books we got, this square with our bodies, i'll put a pic on. it was awesome. then Andy and I went to the session by Wilmont's Link Crew, and Adlai Stevenson High school's Frosh Mentoring Program (FMP's). that was interesting. got some cool ideas from there. Then we had a "Student Sharing Session" and we did more activities/games with the Wilmont kids. that was fun. THEN, i did the most random thing ever- i rode the pony. lol. its this dance where you all go into a circle, and 4 people are in the middle, and everyone sings:
Here we go, ride the pony
ride, ride, ride the pony
here we go, ride the pony
this is how we do it......
and they ride around like rodeo kinda, and stop at one person and they dance with them and everyone sings:
Front, Front, Front, my baby
Back, Back, Back my baby
Side, Side, Side, my baby
This is how we do it
and then they switch spots and 4 dif people are in the middle, and you just keep going. so at first we were real embarassed and stuff but we got over it and it was way fun. the kids from Wilmont are awesome, they were so fun and funny. i wish i went to school with them.
then lunch, and a session by Bob Orvis, the head guy from comedy sports, that was fun. then closing, and we left. it was a really fun time, and i'm glad i went. (i'll post pics)

thursday, i helped kirsten with her jr. staff application, and talked to mr. moeller. he wants to switch my position a lil bit. which, im not sure if i like his idea yet or not. he wants to make me a "striking midfielder" because normally i'm a forward, and he thinks because of last year, that i'll have a target on my back the whole time, and if i touch the ball, i'll be double marked, and i HATE that more than anything. oh well, we'll see.
SOCCER STARTS IN 3 DAYS!!!

SO, i'm definatley excited for our student council retreat next weekend. its at the Osthoff- the most amazing resort ever, k maybe not, but its AWESOME, and beautiful, and humongous. so, steph and i decided we're goin all out for this one- food like crazy, games, DDR, movies, pictures, lol, everthing. its going to be a blast, especially if its- me, steph, kirsten, and kristin pape. i'm SO pumped. definatley taking modeling pictures outside by the pond and waterfall lol. ha ha ha.......
