"Incomplete"
*sigh* NO ONE has posted since I left?? This is depressing!!
Anyway, Atlanta rocked! Despite my heart problems and Hurricane Dennis, we had a great time. On the way down, the AC on our tour bus broke, so we had to cross back over the state line to get to where the company was stationed and reload all our suitcases onto another bus. We left around noon and pulled up into the Atlanta Hilton at 1:30 the next morning. Can you say 13 hours on one bus?? AHHHHH!
The next day, we met up with some of the Caribbean District's Key Clubbers before heading out to the Atlanta Underground. Yeah. We went through the entire underground shopping plaza in 25 minutes, bored out of our minds, and then walked over to the Coke factory/museum. It rocked!!!! Half the stuff in there was of Japanese origin. I even tried a Japanese apricot drink, some Chinese citrus juice thing, and a German raspberry drink in the "Tastes of the World" area. (I'll have pics developed soon!)
Then we met up with some of the New Englanders before lunch and went back to our hotel rooms to change for the Atlanta Braves game. Well, as it's done the past two years during ICON (in Indy and in St. Louis), it poured. They hadn't even put down the chalk all the way yet!! Grrr... But yeah, we were motioning to all the other groups of Key Clubbers to do our cheer: "Hey, PNW (Pacific Northwest)!" or "Hey, Michigan!" or "Hey, I-I (Illinois-Eastern Iowa)!" Ahhh... SO MUCH FUN! PNW has some crazy Asians, just like Cali-Nev-Ha and Cali-Nev-Ha KIWINS. I <3 crazy Asians.
So we all went back, all 32 of us, to the suite (rather, it was a parlor with a bed that our governor broke) to eat pizza and hang out as a district.
My roomies... Let's just say that we couldn't have had a weirder combination. There was me, the Cancer; there was Pike's new club pres, the Taurus; and there were two LTG's, a Libra and an Aquarius. Can you say FUN TIMES??? And what's great is that I guessed the Taurus and the Aquarius off the bat. My astrosense is strengthening. YAY!
The next day, we just attended workshops and hung out with people. I think I introduced myself to over 100 people while I was in Atlanta. Working the social circle was amazing. Turns out that in my effective communication 101 workshop, the bulletin editor from PNW came up to talk to me. (She is the sweetest thing!!) So now I have to develop my pics to get the one of her and me in the UNICEF's new campaign workshop.
The rest of the week is really a blur. Bunches of workshops, caucusing (I helped Megan organize her speech at midnight the night before she would speak in front of all 1700-or-so people), a dance, House of Delegates, buying tons of KC merchandise, Clarke being hypnotized onstage, being picked for sergeant-at-arms, Megan and Nick BOTH elected as international trustees for next year (so we're the first district in 17 years to have had 2 trustees in one board for two consecutive years), spending our last night with about 50 people in the suite from Montana and Wi-Um (Wisconsin-Upper Michigan), playing "Mafia" and flirting with a Montana boy (HAHA! I am evil!), watching people puke after going on the DejaVu ride at Six Flags, getting to know the upstate kids at Cracker Barrel on the way home, hugging every person before I left and being included in mall plans with Alex from HSE, waving from the car...
As I said, Atlanta was awesome.
Amaris: William! The best part of prom is to be a hot, single girl where the guys can't get you because they already have dates.
William: You're an incurable tease.
