Leadership Letdown: Water park style.

So, my last weekend was interesting to say the least. I signed up to go to the leadership conference through Tri Sigma with the school. I was really excited because it was going to be held at Wet 'n Wild. Little did I know it would turn out to be Wet, Cold, and miserable.

On the trip out to Orlando, we watched August Rush, which was the highlight of the trip for me because it was a great movie. We arrived at Wet 'n Wild at about 11:00 and got all set up for the speaker on the waterfront. The speaker was good, she had some interesting things to say as well as perform. Between sessions, we ate lunch and goofed around. After the last session, we all excitedly entered the park for great fun. The downsides were: 1) it was already 3:00 2) lockers had to be purchased and 3) the line was long at the lockers and they were expensive (way to cheat others out of money- FOR SHAME).

I really wanted to ride this:

By 3:30, I had changed into my suit, bought a locker, suntanned up, and had made it into the wave pool. I was excited because a tube floated my way, so I claimed it for my own. I made it down the the end of the pool and relaxed in the waves... well for about five minutes. We were told to exit the pool because of lightning in the area. NO!!!!!

The rest of the day consisted of waiting out the cold rain and lightning under buildings FREEZING. The school ended up wanting to leave early- so my day was shot.

As I looked back at the park when we pulled out of the parking lot... I gazed upon the reopening of rides and others enjoying them. I was overcome with sadness.

Oh well. I got out of the house right?
