Oh my goodness! Such a crazy busy day! Me and Jeff got to sleep in (the only 2...hehe) and then me, him, Robert, & O'neil headed into town (aka Oakhurst...aka definition of a mountain town). We went to McDonald's for breakfast (well...actually...the boys did....after watching Super Size Me twice...I declined). Then we went to Dollar Tree to shop for hall decorations! Each hall (boys & girls) were given $50 budgets! The boys are doing "Unlikely Heroes" aka Super Hero theme! (obvi) Ours is a little more obscure but I'm SUPER pumped about it. We chose our theme as (re)defined. As we thought about this word, optical illusions came to mind. And then we thought about distorted mirrors. And then we thought of a fair/carnival! Now, we didn't want it to be a creepy carnival so we stuck with "vintage carnival/fair" Basically, you walk into our lobby and are under a huge canopy, we strung fair lights all the way down the hall in a zig zag fashion, are putting giant optical illusions everywhere, vintage posters, stringing tickets, and a hall of distorted mirrors...I will post pictures after we finish for the final result! Basically...our idea is to choose 4 topics to (re)define this semester. We've thought of 2! Beauty (because of the mirrors)...hero (to coordinate with the boys) & we're still working on the other two! Ok...I just got wayyyy ahead of myself! Anyhooo....we then went to a thrift/antique shop but couldn't really find anything good. The rest of the afternoon we spent tracing, making decorations, & prepping our hall decorations! We were told we have to do a very good job...so we're all working very hard on them!
We took a short dinner break (lasagna...hey oh!) and then we had to experience "role play" situations....aka students breaking the rules and us pretending to respond to the situation. I got one of the scariest situations....a girl in a room with 2 knives and pills spilled everywhere. Talk about FRIGHTENING. My boss acted as the girl and she did such a phenomenal job acting...it really took an emotional toll on us all. However, I think I learned a lot and feel much more prepared. For the rest of the night....HALL DECORATIONS. They have become my life the past 2 days. Me and Caity (the only girl leaders) have a HUGE hall and have a ton to do! (We're both type A & perfectionists!...oh no!...but it's so GREAT!) so we stayed up until 4AM decking our hall. I pulled out my crafty nature and built a single horse 3D carousel out of...get this: a music stand, a cardboard tube, & fabric. Talk about proud. I'll post pics of course later! Make sure to check into old posts as I will be adding pictures! (whenever I get the time!) peace out.
