So,
Here I am in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for the Kappa Kappa Psi Leadership Symposium. We took off from Kingsville at around 7 o' clock, made the trip across Texas, and got into our hotel here at the Sheraton at 5ish. I kept the car on a odometer and timer, so I drove 606 miles and for bout 9 and a half hours. Sheesh. That was kinda long. Along the trip, I saw the movie Jumper and some comedy stuff. Other than that, we listened to a lot of metal. Hahaha.
After we checked in, all of us just crashed out since registration wasn't until 7. Once we registered, we went with some brothers from LSU and Arkansas to the downtown Hooters. The food was good, but we waited a really, really long time for it. They had the LSU vs. N. Carolina baseball game, so we all watched that. On the way back, there was this random guy that came up to Artie and asked for a cigarette, and then all of a sudden this van w/ police lights pulls over right next to us and calls out that guy. Then another police car comes and backs up the other police. That was pretty awkward, but kinda funny.
Okay, so Saturday went very well. The workshop had a lot of information that will be of much good use for our chapter, and for everyone else that went there. While there, I met much more people from different chapters and different districts. I met people from Arkansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Arizona, Oklahoma (obviously), and some other states. It was pretty enjoyable. At the conclusion of the symposium, we, along w/ some of the brothers from other chapters, went to the Oklahoma City Memorial site, and then went to Stillwater, Oklahoma to visit the National Headquarters. That was good to see again. I'll write more tomorrow. I have a very long drive ahead of me, and then the dreadful move into the dorms again.
So, now I'm back in Kingsville, in the dorms, doing the band camp stuff. The trip back was fun. For the sake of time, I'll just say that there was a lot of funny moments and reminiscing of the last few days. I had a good time being at the symposium, and I'm looking forward to continuing in the process of what we learned there.
Other than this, I have found myself to be in a slump. A slump that I alone can get myself out of. It is easy figuring out what is the problem - I already know what it is as well as the situation. What's hard is going to be what I'm leaving behind. Moving on is a simple thing, what it leaves behind is hard. *Sigh* Oh well. Maybe this is why I don't attach myself to others so closely, because I end up being screwed. Oh. Well.
