You know, you learn a lot about some people on an eight hour bus trip. I so enjoyed living vicariously through the Orientation Leaders today. I am one of the "has beens" on the bus, but it was fun to listen to the aimless chatter, road trip games, and secret-telling that ensued during our journey. It got me wondering what chaperones have thought about me and my behavior or actions in the past when I was where they are now. Gone are the days when I can host dance parties in the back of the bus or read embarrassing Cosmo articles aloud in hopes of making people squirm. Oh how I will miss the days of playing "Catchphrase"(this game got super competitive amongst the Alumni Delegates. Good times. Good times.)

At the age of twenty-four, I am thankful for the opportunities that have been given to me lately. This trip is one of them. This marks my first time to help chaperone a student organization anywhere outside of Starkville. The hard part is over now that we've made it through the drive. I will continue to post updates here for your viewing pleasure. Tomorrow's schedule is as follows:
10:00 am: Board the Bus to Outlet Mall
2:00 pm: Check into the SROW conference
3:00 pm: Sticker Swap (yes, they actually run around and stick stickers on each other and on members of other university teams. It's hilarious.)
5:00 pm: Song, Dance, and Skit Competition (WE BETTER WIN)
Sometime after that: Dinner at the Conference
Later in the evening: Pizza at the hotel (fourth meal, as Taco Bell would call it)

So there's what you have to look forward to reading about. I'm interested to see how I function tomorrow after only about 5 hours of sleep tonight. Prayers are welcome.
Ok, I'm off to bed. I know all of you are already there. Congratulations. I'm supremely jealous.
