July 24 - Day 22

Inspired by: the Shads who performed a parody of this at Lakehead’s Talent Show, and of course, Rebecca Black:

10 AM waking up in the morning,
Gotta remember room keys, gotta get to the caf,
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have Fruit Loops,
Seein’ all the Shads, the time is goin’
Tickin’ on and on, everybody’s rushin’,
Gotta get down to the Hangar
Gotta be there for role call, I see my Firm

Sleep or finish business plan?
No debate: finish business plan
Already got my mind made up
Just another 20 hour working day

Shad Valley, Valley
July 24th blog entry
Everybody’s taking advantage of “Shad Nap”, “Shad Nap”
Valley, Shad Valley,
July 24th blog entry,
Everybody’s attempting dives into the pool

Partyin', partyin' (Yeah)
Just kidding , Just kidding (Yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin' forward every single day

Today at Lakehead’s Shad program, all of us started the day off with a well-deserved chunk of free-time…to put some finishing touches on our business plans, of course.

To wash away some of the stress, we headed down to the Hangar (the main athletics center) to swim! After several brave attempts (and successes!) in climbing the rope hanging from the ceiling, and a ferocious, water variation of basketball (the rules would be a separate blog entry), we headed to the ATAC building to work on our Shad Cup projects.

If the duration of time spent in a place is any indication, the ATAC building has become our second home. With a quick break for dinner, all six Shad Cup groups have been working diligently for the past few hours. Our business plans are due in T-minus 10 minutes. Good luck, everyone!

I’ll leave the enormous task of summarizing the Shad Valley experience to the folks writing on July 29, but this excerpt is just that: an excerpt out of the most amazing, indescribable, amazingly indescribable July that I’ve had.

“…the time is goin’/ Tickin’ on and on, everybody’s rushin’”. Truer words have ne’er been said.
