Hey Hawkeyes!

So yesterday was the first day of On Iowa! leader training. It was so awesome to see my squad again! We played some ice breakers to test our memory of names. Just so we’re clear, Maddie’s name is not “Darn it!” The game we played involved having to remember the other person’s name at the drop of a hat, or should I say blanket? Our captains held up a blanket and each team sent someone to the blanket wall, when the blanket dropped you had to say the name of the person you were facing before they said yours in order to get them on your team. It made for some pretty funny moment and some introductions when neither one could think of the others name.

We also ran through what Friday will be like obtaining our small groups. It was very entertaining with a lot of enthusiasm. Next was dinner. We were told we would be having pizza in the IMU. Well, after our practice they took us to the IMU and put us on buses. We were really confused. The bus load of confused Code Red and Dancing Lobsters (our two sections of Red Squad), arrived at the Coral Ridge Mall with the other confused colors. We were then informed we would have pizza, pop, and popcorn at a movie. It was a huge surprise! The movie was called  “Hundred Foot Journey” and it was a fantastic movie. We had so much fun watching it together. It was so cool that a group of 200 people could have a movie night together! I love my squad and I’m so excited for what this week will bring!

I’m off to another day of training and fun! Good luck to all those moving into today for Iowa Edge or Honors Primetime!
