Day 2 at Shad Dalhousie 2011! It seems like it has been so much longer than that and we have already become great friends with each other. The weather today started off very miserable: looking very cloudy and seemed like a low chance of being sunny like day 1. Nevertheless we started off with a Camera Ready: a scavenger hunt in which pictures were taken in groups doing certain poses at certain locations around campus to help us get better with our surroundings. Due to Dalhousie being a very large campus no one managed to complete all the pictures but everyone still had a swell time. A challenge to Camera Ready was that we always got extra points for every “stranger” involved in the picture so we went outside some of our boundaries to be able to win. It also got us familiar with the campus to ensure we don’t get lost throughout the month.
We had our first seminar today: a speech by Tim Little about creative thinking and solutions to problems. Co-director Jeremy finished off the seminar talking to us about how to work in a group and getting to know everyone. Lastly we got organized into our Shad houses. I love everyone in our group and I expect we will do a great job in whatever the topic this year is.
We did the first Shad Speaks today and they were amazing! Anyway, I am heading to bed now thanks for reading.
