I was extremely looking forward to this! (The retreat, not the blog.) I was excited to get to know the BLFers better since there aren't that many opportunities for some of us to cross paths outside of BLF what with the diverse group of majors and everyone being involved in so many different things. I was glad to have had the chance to get to know my junior class and all the seniors because I remember during orientation, reading everyone's bios, I was blown away. I was like 0_0 how did I get here?? I am just so inspired by my fellow...err fellows, and the retreat just brought us closer together.
I loved all the group activities we did that were wonderfully facilitated by Mike. Everything was done in a fun, informal, open and comfortable environment and the deeper meanings of the activities were effectively conveyed. I think my favorite was the blind-fold activity where all the juniors were blindfolded and the seniors were to guide us without talking. This was the first activity were I felt we were a united group (a vision similar to the power rangers uniting...or something like that) because most of the time we are broken into small groups, but it was all of us this time and it was a very good feeling to have. Just got the chills just thinking about it, but that could have been from someone opening the door just now.
Having everyone working in different groups, this gives us a better understanding on how each of us works and more importantly, how we all work together.
Overall I had a fabulous time at the retreat in Hawking Hills (Shout out to the Gerbers for your hospitality and wonderful home!) I had a lot of laughs.. and a lot of exercise walking up those hills.
