Adventure 5

The flash mob was a BLAST! I know, surprising to hear from the girl who was apprehensive at first. We had decided that we would meet up at the library before and after the flash mob. When everyone was at the library, we had a pep talk and addressed any last minute concerns. We then sporadically started heading over to the REC in small groups. Being one of the first persons in there, I now had a half a hour to kill. I found it extremely difficult to act like I was just "hanging" out at the REC. I never go to the REC, so I was unfamiliar with what the appropriate behavior was. The music started roughly around 4:30. Because I was one of the first people to start the dance, I was able to see the expression change of the bystanders which was a lot of fun. When we had practiced it previously I had always been exhausted and out of breath but surprisingly this time I had lots of energy, there wasn't one moment in the dance were I felt tired. Someone from the schools news paper came out and took pictures and our professor was able to video tape it which was great. I am very glad that we were able to capture the moment. Once the dance ended we dispersed as if nothing had happened. We all met back at the library as planned for some processing and debriefing. Since this was part of a class we spilt up into our small groups and answered some questions about what we had learned from this experience. I can say for myself that I learned that compromising is very important when you work with others and that the activity does not always go as planned and that is okay. I also learned that sometimes it’s also okay to let my guard down and really enjoy an activity.
