We Cheered.
We Lost.
Our heads are still high.
This Saturday a huge group of our RA's met with RA's from five or six other schools from around the central area of California to talk about RA-related things. We went to each other's programs, bounced ideas off each other, and met new people. But most of all we all were competed for the coveted spirit stick. *cue the glorious choir music* The spirit stick was given to the school whose RA's had the most spirit.
WE ARE DYNOMITE! YES WE ARE DYNOMITE! AND WHEN YOU MESS WITH DYNOMITE, IT GOES tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic BOOM DYNOMITE!
Spirit. We got it.
However we evidenlty did not have enough.
However we evidenlty did not have enough.
Spirit was divided into four catagories: The Banner, The Roll Call Video, Philanthropy (CD's collected for a CD drive--whoever got the most got the award for best philanthropy), and actually spirit that day. It fairly unanimous that we had the best video ever. And as for spirit that day? Well it's like the video said--it was reckless. We were cheering, dancing, screaming, gyrating, and embarassing ourselves ALL DAY. We didn't stop; most of us lost our voices. Still it looks like the politics of "philanthropy" outweigh the ability to spell CSUN three-demensionally using people.
Still, the impression has been made. Our spirit on them, their ideas on us. I networked with a few RA's from other campuses and we're planning a multi-campus awareness program for the geonocide in Darfur. You can't get that without getting out and meeting new RA's. No we didn't win but when you leave with other schools saying you SHOULD have won, you know you've done your job. Next year that stick is ours.
