Wednesday:
Jennie, Leslie and I show up early to the hotel so we can register, but in someones logic the registration table was taken down (even though we showed up at 6 and it was supposed to be up until 6:45). After figuring out what to do (because I hadn't paid yet and Leslie was going to be our guest and Jennie didn't have her packet proving she paid) we got in line to meet Grand Council. It was pretty cool. Each one asked what chapter you were from and said they were glad you were there. Then it was time for dinner. IMPO, dinner was well not worth 75 bucks but I can't do anything about that.
Dinner carried over (supposed to end around 9pm), then districts had quick meetings and we all assembled to practice for the processional. Jennie was to carry the Eta Psi flag and I was just hanging around. In the end I ended up carrying the Epsilon Beta flag.
A quick side note, to all those who might go to the next convention I would say to watch the processional. I got to watch everyone after me, but my chapter (Delta Gamma) was before I got into the room.
Practice finally ended 11:45-12:00 Jennie and I get to leave, come home and crash.
Thursday:
Well we had to be at the resort by 7:30 so we were up and out by 6:30 (I had to get apples from the store for the children from the Mission that is our service project for convention and we needed coffe (well hot chocolate for me)). We got there at 7:10
We get our flags and get in line.
Processional starts and it was really cool (for me) talking to the collegians around me.
The processional was a lovely "service" (so to speak). Except for not being able to sing the international song (sorry don't know it and didn't have the lyrics) or O Canada (had the lyrics, don't know it though), it was beautiful.
We then headed outside for the picture. Oh yeah that was great fun in 100 degree heat. J/k I'm used to it. Just didn't like the sun in my eyes. I also kept wondering how the photographer was managing to get everyone in the shot.
Jennie and I then worked the registration table (once it was set up) until about noon and then headed out for lunch. We ended up at Walmart (I hadn't brought a change of clothes, business casual, so wanted to get a pair just in case) and had lunch at Subway.
Jennie then headed to the business meeting for voting delegates and I just hung around the resort. Hung out at the pool, went to a seminar about wellness and helped set things up for the Philanthropy dinner. I also chatted with Carrie (EXiADPi).
So that be all. Jennie is getting ready for today. Me going to take her and drop her off cause I don't have to be back until noon (we then are working giftmart from 1:30-3:30).
type more later about the day.
