So this is my first blog ever! (I've been an avid facebook cree- I mean user for a long time but this is my first time as a blogger, so here we go!
To start off, I'll tell ya a bit about myself. I'm a third year fine arts major, in OTT. I work for Leave the Pack Behind on campus. I am the VP External for the Nipissing and Canadore Dance Club. I am also a frosh leader and usually attempt to be in any and all intramural sports and tournaments...so as you can see I am one involved Laker!
So this weekend was Winter Classics weekend at Nipissing, which is one of THE BEST weekends all year. For anyone who doesn't know Winter Classics is an event run by NUSAC (the athletic people) and its fun winter games played mostly outdoors, and some indoors. I've been on the same team since my first year, and we usually do pretty well for the most part. Winter Classics is kinda like frosh week (with alcohol for everyone!), there are points for actually winning events and there are also spirit points. My team is much better at spirit than actually winning, but this year we did ok in both! Its pretty exhausting doing all those events from 9-3, running around and singing cheers all day. Our team is only 14 people, compared to some who have 20-25 so we do what we can! This year my friend Dani broke her ankle in a dodgeball toury, so instead of replacing her on the team, we bought a sled and pulled her from event to event! What can I say? We're dedicated!
Dancing at the wall in the middle of the day is definately the best part. Everyone is dressed from head to toe in winter gear: boots, hats, snow pants, and we're all crammed on the stage singing our hearts out with a drink in one hand and a slice of pizza in the other! Did I mention its about 2 in the afternoon? Over all it makes for a fabulous weekend.
I was too tired after the awards ceremony I went to sleep before ever making it to the victory pub at the wall...I hear it was outrageusly fun though! Even if I missed out on the bar, there was no way I was missing out on Burger World!
Well thats all for today I think, more to come soon I am sure!
Keep on Dancin'!
