Phew! I am so happy to be back on capmus. This past weekend was the debut of the Leadership Consultants positioanl leaders’ retreat L.A.T.T.E. (stands for Leadership and Teamwork Training Experience). It went SO well — a lot better than I expected. (It’s not that I had been expecting it to go badly, but I figured having lower expectations for the first time around would make it easier to deal if we had failed…) Anyway, we had a good number of participants who were great people really trying to make a difference in their student orgs. I have to admit that the whole weekend was rather stressful… Keep in mind that I get stressed out easily. I was facilitating/leading 5 sessions (most people only did 2 or 3). I am really grateful to the Office of Student Life, the other LCs, and all the participants for making this happen. Facilitating my first retreat was a really awesome experiene. I cannot wait till next year!
In other news, on Friday I discoverd one of the funniest things at UMBC (probably any college, actually). The Commons (giant buiding that houses student orgs, the bookstore, food, Office of Student Life, etc.) Gameroom now has a [(brace yourslef)] HOT DOG VENDING MACHINE! Who would have ever thought that a hot dog vending machine woulf make the list of inventions. Ice cream vending machines are absurd (fantastic, but absurd all the same) enough… hot dog vending machines are plain ridiculous.
