HAHA, WOW. OMG, the Team Leader retreat was AMAZING! I definitely now know I made the right choice in applying to be a team leader–I’m gonna love this group and the whole experience. I can’t really say much more–it was awesome! And I met some terrific friends! Aside from staying in a VERY nice hotel (the JW Marriott Grande Lakes Orlando) and enjoying all of its amenities (gym, pool, lazy river, restaurants, GLASS shower), there were just SO many fun activities planned for all of us and I learned a whole lot. I’m probably way too excited about this semester and my group and can’t wait to do this again next year and the year after that (if given the chance). Some of my favorite quotes from the past three days:

This activity is going to involve handling balls.

Alvin, Alvin!!!! (Theodore, Simon!)

Mmrrrmm, roofies

EYES, THROAT, GROIN

And so much more–I gotta talk to Brenna because I’m pretty sure she was writing down quotes all retreat long as they happened. TLs who happen to read/see this–what was your favorite part? Any good quotes I forgot? And see if you can match the above quote to who said it!

So I’m up here in Orlando for ONE NIGHT and ONE NIGHT ONLY, basically just to make sure that my apartment is clean and bare and ready for me to check out tomorrow morning. And since I’m still here for the nightttime (and everything’s packed), I had nothing to do tonight, so I figured I’d grab my friends and hang out with them for a bit…we go to Jimmy John’s for dinner, cause raucousness there for a bit, then head back to my room in Tower 3…and while en route, we notice that there’s a spot in the corner of our lobby for “donations”: basically anything still in slightly good, usable, working condition that people don’t want anymore. And what a buinch of things people threw out! We found a ton of useful items in Tower 3 alone and afterward, content with our pickings, headed back to my room.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! We decide to make a night out of it and visit the rest of the Towers (1-4) and loot the rest of them as well–I mean, you’d never know what you find, right? So we head off to Towers 1 and 2 and finally 4 to pick up a bunch of other things. And we certainly did get a whole bunch of items. Here’s just a short list of some of what we acquired:

• Cabinets
• Shelving units
• Beanbag chair
• Three printers
• A fan
• Dart board
• Mini-popcorn machine
• TONS of frisbees
• and, Lauren’s best score: A LAZY-BOY OTTOMAN! Yes, that’s right,a FULL RECLINER, complete with leg rest. THAT was amazing.

So now we’ve got a TON of awesome loot, and a new tradition I’m certainly gonna look forward to in years to come…you can pick up some great deals indeed; even if I don’t end up using everything (like with the printers), I can always sell them for some extra cash!

So go out there, UCF! Find some stuff and partake in social equity!

Hooray!

Some pretty big Internet communities are all suffering from massive outages and slowdowns this morning…I don’t know if they’re in any way related or connected, but it’s kinda frustrating that I can’t get my tweets in! And I don’t have a Livejournal, but surely someone out there does and is crying right now.
