SRUPE mini convention
Today I attended the mini convention here on campus. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up having a blast. I learned quite a bit about some things that I knew nothing about. First I attended "The Simplified Tai Chi" put on by Professor Lui and Professor Bian. Professor Lui showed us a routine of Tai Chi and then they had us get up and taught us a few moves. It was neat to learn about it. Next I attended the "Synch or Swim" which was put on by the Butler High Aquaettes. I had only seen synchronized swimming done on tv during the Olympic games. I was amazed at how those girls could move like that in the water. They did all kinds of moves even underwater. Then I headed over to "Upgrade Yourself", which was presented by Lou Slatterback. He spoke about how we need to be the best that we can be as professionals and that we need to be positve as others are looking up to us. My favorite part of this session was when we got to dance with the young kids he invited from an elementary school in Oil City. We did two folk dances with the kids and then they showed us their moves in some other folk dances. It was so much fun and the kids were so exited to be here at the university. I wish I could of attended more sessions. I do however look forward to attending the state convention in Pittsburgh next fall.

hey try not drown in that steeple this weekend. and remember theres a right way a wrong way and a geddis way to run. you may be thinkin "aren't the wrong way and the geddis way the same thing?" you're right they are they same, only the geddis way has a funny accent.
I didn't want to expect either. I worked the hospitality area. We made 140 sandwiches!! PB and J everywhere! But we got it done! I didn't get a chance to go to any of the speakers because we were constantly waiting for more bread to come and make more sandwiches. I did catch a little of Mr. Slautterback and I loved his kids doing the songs on teh floor! I have him for class... it was cute.
I attended the mini convention and also helped set up food for everyone who attended the convention as well. I'm in PETE club and I was in the hospitality group so we were in charge of the food!!! I also attended three sessions as well. I went to Mr. Slaugtterback's keynote, Mrs. Ruiz's session on coaching, and TC's session where we learned jazz! I'm really glad I helped out with the mini convention. I'm also glad I had the opportunity to catch a few sessions as well.
