another late blog lolol | 4/11

      yaaay ! so this week is finally orientation week . all this preparation was for this ! so we are in charge of music , and i didn't have to pass out any forms , so i could finally work , but people kept saying we were replaying songs , so they kept making fun of us , or they kept yelling at us , messing with the speakers , and talking crap about how we keep replaying songs . i hate when people do that because everyone replays songs . like I'm sorry if we are replaying songs , but we don't always do that , they just need to picture themselves in our position , if you want us to stop replaying songs , you might as well do our job and we'll stay outside while we're trying to help you guys . they don't know how much things we do for them . anyways , on monday , hope , dayna , and i had to talk to ms . sky about the field trip we were having on tuesday because we weren't able to go on the field trip because we had orientation . she got mad at us for telling her too late , was like , "its not our fault . we didn't know that we had orientation because no one told us until today because we never knew what days we had for orientation ." she's irritating , i hate that teacher . Ok so also on monday we were going over the dress rehearsal for orientation , it took us about an hour after school just to finish it . Tuesday was the first orientation it was crazy because the flats that i had for my costume were tight and they were killing me , but orientation was funny . the group that i had for my tour was funny , one of the questions the kids asked me was , "What is that ?" my response ? "A trash can ." lol it was funny . We also didn't have practice during lunch which is a good thing because i really wanted to hang out with some people . Wednesday we had practice though . Thursday was the 2nd orientation . That one was crazy because the music for period 3 started late , so we messed up , but its ok . And lol the group that i had for the tour took so long , they asked SO many questions , dude . it was irritating .  We also had orientation night for the parents . Friday was pretty good . i think lol , idk i don't remember .

      Highlight of my week . Thursday , after orientation night . I was just so glad orientation was over . i was so happy it was over because i was dying . like i was so tired when i got home because of orientation . I was just happy it was over . i couldn't do anymore orientation . i was just so tired of it . the same routine , the same clothes , the same everything . but ayye , I'm just glad its over . the lowlight of my week , nothing really . i actually had a really good week lol .

       lesson learned , hard work pays off . I was wondering why we needed so many days of practice , but after orientation , i learned why we needed so many days of practice . hard work ALWAYS pays off .

late blog lol | 4/4

       So this is a REALLY late blog lol . I'm sorry , so anyways this week was a really crazy week . Period 3 was in charge of ID's , but lori snd i were working on passing out 7th grade class day forms and 8th grade banquet forms . Monday i have no idea what happened , but we still had practice for orientation and like , our banner wasn't ready yet . lol . because taylor them needed the projector so we didn't finish the banner . but we finished it thank god . it looks really nice . Tuesday , we practiced again , I'm really proud of lori , she memorized her speech very well . like idk how people can memorize such long speeches , it came to her easily . Good job lori lol . Wednesday , i have no idea what happened , but i was working on my costume for orientation . it os actually working out pretty well . It looks really nice lol , but i don't look italian in it . Thursday we were working on everything we needed to work on . we finally finished our banner thank goodness because that was like the last day we had to finish our banner , and then friday we didn't have school :( which is bad because i wanted to see my favorite person on friday . lol , its ok .

      Highlight of the week , would be finally finishing the banner , like we had to finish it last minute . without having period 3 as the last day , i thin that would've killed us because we probably wouldn't have finished it . its a good thing we did finish though . Lowlight would be friday , like we didn't have school , which is usually a good thing for certain people , but for me , it was a bad [thing because i wanted to see certain people , so i couldn't see the people that i wanted to , especially because i couldn't go out of the classroom because i had to pass out 7th grade class day forms and 8th grade banquet forms . And i can't see those people after school because they always leave before i can finally see them .

      Lesson learned don't complain , complaining just makes things worse . like complaining won't really help anyone in life . like , seriously , what is complaining going to do for you , nothing , exactly , so why would want to complain ? It just makes no sense at all . lol . its stupid if you complain . I learned that the hard way . trust me , i should know . I would complain and complain about stupid things that i don't like , and it didn't even help at all .

Laaari :)

3 orientations down !

       Tuesday was crazy . it was fun , but boring . tiring , yet awakening . just overall crazy . there were many things we had to do just for the upcoming 7th graders to know what they're allowed to wear , where they're allowed to go during school , and all the information needed to know about isa , uplink , and id's , fees , yearbook , and other things . Thursday was exactly the same . the same costumes , the same procedures , everything the same . the only things that were different was that we messed up during our dance on Thursday . the music started late , so we weren't able to start early enough , and we all got mixed up . and my tour took waaay longer than it was on tuesday . my group asked so many questions, everyone we stopped, skmeone had a question . especially at the end of the tour , they asked alllll the questions . that was basically the difference .
       things we could've done different was putting the music on time . technology isn't alway smart , even though it's like the biggest part of this world . that's basically all we could've done , because the music didn't go off on time , so period 3 messed up a little bit , but ayye , it's ok . we also could've made the music a little bit louder because I could not hear anything .
        things I liked about the orientation were seeing some of my friends from when I went to that school . it was nice to finally get to see them . and also to see everyone so embarrassed when we all were on stage dancing . lol its was funny . the thing I didn't like was that everyone was making fun of our dance .

1 orientation down , 2 to go

       ok , so 6th grade orientatpasses ,  when 6th graders from elementary schools come to ilima so that we can give them a tour of the school , give them an idea of what we're allowed to wear and what we're not allowed to wear , give them information on isa , uplink , id's , fees , yearbook , and all that stuff . overall , for out first orientation , I think we did pretty good . we didn't mess up , or stutter , we didn't fidget , and we did pretty good . I'm proud of us :) . even though they were laughing at us doing the dances , which was kinda rude , but funny , we did awesome . there were only a small amount of people that said thank you to us for doing all that for them , but it's ok ... overall , we were awesome , good job team :) , and even though we had a little but of miscommunication , we were able to fix it .

       highlight of orientation . I think it would be the whole rush of knowing what it was to be like in their shoes . and by "their" i mean last year's leadership group . I never knew they did all of these preparations and practices . they did a lot just for us to understand the dress code , sports , fees , and all that . It was fun being up on stage , just knowing that next year , there are going to be different people up on stage in my shoes . lowlight would be having them laugh at us ... our dance was funny , but that was kinda mean ... like I know they're 6th graders and all , but ehh whatever ...

       lesson learned , always remember that communication is always important when it comes to leadership . if we don't communicate with each other , some things aren't going to end up so well.

glo 1 // self directed learner ; we asked mr . ing what we were supposed to do , and he said to find out our selves , therefore being self directed learners .

glo 2 // community contributor ; by being able to work together as a group , a team , and a period , we all earned the glo of being able to know that it is essential for human beings to work together .

glo 3 // complex thinker ; we had to find ways to swiftly change , get on stage , and be ready . by doing that , we all learned how to get arundel obstacles quickly and easily .

glo 4 // quality producer ; leadership produced a lot of information for the 6th graders to know about ilima . they learned about the dress code , fees , id's , yearbook , lunch payment , bus passes , isa , uplink , bell schedule , and schedule pick up .

glo 5 // effective communicator ; we all listened to what tiana , jahlyssa , lori , kaylyn , Jayde , and Emma were saying , making sure we heard our queue .

glo 6 // we use microphones , speakers , laptops , switches , and all that technology for this performance .
