high on life.

SPOP 7 could not have gone any more perfect. SPOP 2 (OTERO::cp phil, stacy, sonia, claire, belinda, ben, and michelle) , 3 (PUENTE::cp nick!!!, jeff, angie, esther, and sarah b.) and 4 (OTERO::cp brett, mo, jeremy, cat, and belen) were all amazing but i was a little concerned going into SPOP 7 because it was MTLO (maybe the last one) so i just decided to just go for it and make the best out of it. i staffed with cp brett, andy chung, ben kaska, leslie akizuki, and anthony thai. our spoppers weren't the loudest but really who cares. it was the first time i had more fun chilling with them rather than playing games and getting them riled up. at cha i can usually be found playing "little susie walker" or "dance off" but this time i just hung out with julia and alex from the (805), boy-crazy melissa and michelle from palos verde, and the lere TWINS just to name the few i can remember. it was just refreshing to get more one-on-one time with the spoppers rather than just games in big groups. i loved it.

SPolympics was absolutely epic. we did a little mixer with CUESTA (cp jesse, emily, belinda, paulo, angie m., and jason kim) and the spoppers were so creative with every task we gave them. i will NEVER EVER EVER forget shay's proposal. i remember my first encounter with shay was during lunch and it was probably just the usual awkward casualties of first encounters but he was terribly shy and didn't say much. to see his proposal and how into it he got was incredible. the beast truly came out in him. patrick from cuesta was pretty legit too. his proposal to jason kim was HILARIOUS! fashion show and impersonations were ridiculous. i was starting to die off waiting for the spoppers to finish their tasks but their energy seriously kept me up til 4AM.

the talent show for SPOP 7 was just AMAZING. the feedback we received was really good. SPok go! was so so so good. their facials and choreo..aaahhh!!! this talent show was also the debut of SPo YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE! and it went pretty well for the first time. props to harry, yoon, and wes. they stole the show and made it so worth doing! just overall, alot of the staff was saying that SPOP 7 was the most entertaining of the talent shows and to be a part of it was so much fun!

most of the hall ended up checking out early but listening to their comments about the program and about coming to UCI in the fall during hall closing was very uplifting. i feel like i could go on and on about this experience but some i'll save for my brain.

tomorrow is disneyland for my brother's birthday and i can't wait because i haven't been in YEARRSSS!! :)
