Out of the blue the other morning I woke up thinking about Cougar Camp... I haven't thought about that in probably 8 or 9 years, which is just sooo long ago!!!
It's actually hard to believe I'm not a freshman in High School anymore or as I grew up calling in; grade 9! Anyways unless you're Carrie or my brother you probably are wondering what is Cougar Camp? Or if you know me from SAU, you are probably thinking; you were a Cougar in University, where you really a Cougar in high school too!? If you know me well then you know the reason why I initially decided to attend SAU, and that was the Cougar correlation!
CCI - also know as Chatham Collegiate Institute is the High School I choose to attend instead of the High School that was down the street and around the corner from my home growing up. I had to get up really early (7:10 was too early for a morning person), and ride the city buses to the other side of town. But it was worth it! My friendship grew with Carrie into something life-long! AND the experience I got there, the green and white that coursed through our veins, then poured out of our tear ducts. But that's not what I'm supposed to be writing about....
Cougar Camp, very similar to Cedar Bend. A weekend at the beginning of the school year. Senior students there to assist and make the transition smooth. Crazy fun activities. There we sang a crazy fun song,using rhythm's with our hands.... I can't explain it, but I have it on one of our band CD's. Camp food.
That's all - such good memories!

Ode to Move-In Day
I started blogging post University, so I need to blog on here about some of the memories I don't want to forget - so here are a few pictures from the Move-In Days of past.....
This is me leaving my house for the first time! This is the outfit (with Jean variations) that I wore on the first move in day and every move-in and move-out day whilst at SAU and I even wore it when I moved into the Pollak household.... I might have worn it one of the days that I moved into the house that Nick and I moved into our house...
These are pictures of my stuff moved into my room of Junior Year!!!
Mel's stuff was moved in a few days after mine... I got to move in like a week early because I was an RA. I spent the week decorating the floor and learning out to be an RA:
This is technically "move-in day" and these are pictures of my girls moving in:
Kate and her mom
Our room again with Mel's stuff... we wanted it to look homey- so that the girls would feel welcome to come in have a seat, and take a cookie off our table!
Our next door neighbours: Kaitlyn & Anna (and Anna's mom)
That guy in the hallway is the President of Admissions... on our floor!

Even though it's actually of Mel.... and it might even be of the 2nd day.

I was the Director of Communications for the Student Government so I was documenting the move-in day Parting at the Plaza ceremony!
All those green people up front are the student leaders for the year, I was supposed to be there, but I got to be on the roof instead, filming the event!
Yep my brother was participating in the events because he had enrolled at SAU - as well as Elise (Kevin's cousin) soo I got to take this sweet picture!
This is the Parting at the Plaza part... The new students are given a piece of the blue ribbon as a souvenir and then are separated from their parents to begin their new lives as college students!
