Waterloo Black and Gold Day

Here are a few more pics from Waterloo's Black and Gold Day. (Black and Gold are our school colours.) This was the last day of Frosh Week and it was awesome, got lots of food (Pizza again, sweet) and face painting etc. Then lots of people went to the football game and Waterloo won! In the evening we had the Toga party which was amazing as usual. Good times.

Waterloo Frosh Week: Day 3-6

Frosh week is awesome!! I am having a great time and meeting some awesome people too. It has been very busy so here is another post about the last few days.

Monday was great and I did Kit Reg at V1 on Monday. That was fun and then Monday night was Opening Ceremonies and as usual I was breakdancing on stage and acting crazy and cheering lots and getting everyone excited. Lots of fun (except for breakdancing when my foot is hurt, hehe I was careful I promise!!) My group is amazing, I am a leader in the South Region and it is great to see how much fun all of the first year students are having and how excited they are to be at University!!

Tuesday was Village Variety Night and I went to the concert and bonfire first which was amazing, followed by the dance at Fed Hall which was also nuts. We went to yet another party after that night and stayed there until about 4am, super fun times!! I love hanging out with the VOC people since they are all really nice and friendly.

Wednesday we didn't have any official activities, but some of us were hanging out anyway. I met up with Andrew, Darren and Mark to practice for the leader band as we are playing guitar on stage for Friday's carnival day.

Thursday was also cool and most of the day I played guitar with Andrew and Mark. In the evening we got dressed up in fancy clothes and we had a leader dinner which was really fancy and soooo good. I loved it and from there we went to Monte Carlo night which was great, I danced a lot and talked to some leaders and then went outside for some live jazz music and then danced some more before heading home. It was a great time and I am really excited for the rest of the week too. Tomorrow we are playing guitar on stage for about 1 or 2 hours, I am totally psyched for that and I think it is going to go very well.


Moving day is tiring

Waterloo Frosh Week: Day 2

Oh man Frosh Week kicked off today and it roooockkkkkkss!!!!!!!!!!!!

We started off with a super early meeting at 6:45am (ouch) but then quickly moved onto breakfast and getting started with move-in and kit registration. My foot is getting better but is still is reasonably bad shape so I got to do Kit Registration at Ron Eydt Village today and stay off my foot which was really really good.

Kit Reg rocked and it is super awesome to see all the first years and how excited they are to be at University. Hehe it is a good time when people come up to get their Frosh Kits and they are so excited and you can tell right away that they are going to be on VOC next year. :)

Melanie and I did Kit Reg for a while and it was super awesome with help from Anna and some of the other VOC homeys. Good times all around. Here's some pics from today!

Waterloo Frosh Orientation Week: Day 1

Frosh week started today! For those of you who don't know, Frosh week is the week long orientation that we run at the University of Waterloo for all the new first year students. There are 2 different frosh week sections, VOC (or Village Orientation Committee) and Faculty frosh week. The first years have a bunch of activities planned for them by both of these groups and I am once again a leader for VOC, meaning that my frosh leading partner and I are the "floor leaders" for one house in Waterloo residence. It is going to be super awesome and I found out which floor I will be leading today. Sweeeeeeeeet!!

Today was Frosh Kit stuffing, so we went to Village 1 (the main residence) and put together all of the kits that the first years will be getting. This has stuff in it like maps of the campus, fridge magnets, pens, food, coupons for businesses around campus and stuff like that. After this I made a poster for my floor and then went to meet the Don (RA) that will be on the floor where I will be frosh leading. After this we went to one of our group member's houses and made banners and posters and got together some ideas for our opening ceremonies skit. This is always a good time and I think they want me to be the mascot for our team this year which is awesome. That means I get to dress up in a Cyclops costume (the theme of Frosh week this year is Monsters) and do crazy stuff on stage in front of about 5000 people. Good times!! I think they want me to breakdance again so we'll see how it goes. I picked out some good music for the dancing part so that'll be super fun.

Tomorrow is move in day and we help people move into their new residences. Also we give out the frosh kits, talk to the parents, and generally welcome people to the University. It'll be lots of fun.
