Just to
change things up a little bit, this blog entry is going to be about THON, as I’m
sure about 96% of the class will also be writing about it. I’m a Moraler on Mike Uhas’ committee,
Sharkbaits UHAS-HA. It’s been a crazy 46
sleep-less hours. Back cramps, swollen
ankles, smelly clothes, and about six homework assignments on top of it. My dancer, a member of Gammacaia, was phenomenal
and did not complain the whole time.
Aside from this, she had a huge support group which also made things
easier on me and my fellow committee members.
How it flew by ! I cannot grasp the fact that the weekend we have been
working towards has just come and went.
It seems like yesterday when I last minute decided to put in a resume
for a committee. Yellow shirt
orientation, our first gathering as a committee, and 100 Days Til’ Thon still
feel so recent. THON was amazing and I
loved the energy of the committees, dancers, families, and children. One of my favorite moments from the weekend
was letting a little boy borrow my super-soaker. Since it was a gift for my dancer I couldn’t
let him keep it and asked for it back, but instead of giving it back, his
friends continued to tell him to run away with my gun. From there his three friends continued to
squirt water in my eyes while yelling for him to run away with my gun. I also had a lot of fun getting into fights
with strangers, friends from ROTC, and my committee members. I can see why people want to be Moralers−
because we get to hang out and dance instead of cleaning, working security, or
anything like that. Overall, it was an
absolutely amazing experience, and I look forward to being a Moraler again next
year, and one day maybe a dancer or Morale Captain.
That's really great that you were part of that committee, and I can tell you really enjoyed your experience. It's remarkable how you found time to be a part of THON while still keeping up with all your ROTC responsibilities.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome that you were a moraler this year! I don't think the dancers would make it without you guys. I was just in the stand, but still THON was an incredible experience! I can't believe it has already come and gone either, just like the rest of freshman year! Before we know it, it is going to be THON 2013! I really want to do a committee next year, I was thinking either to be a moraler or on hos. A lot of my friends were on hos and really liked it! My friends that were on morale committees said they absolutely loved it but it was really long shifts and it was hard to stay peppy for so long, what did you think? Also, I've heard the dancer start to hallucinate around Sunday morning, did that happen to you dancer?
