If any of you have plans already for the summer, leave a comment. :)

Hello. :) This past Friday CPB had their first social of the spring semester. I am social chair so i have to come up with fun ways for all of the members to hang out and get to know each other better. I had a long list of ideas and one of them was a pajama party here in the ATC. The plan was to watch movies eat popcorn and pizza and a bunch of other yummy snacks! We were also going to play games like Twister, Taboo, hide and seek, and Catch Phrase! It started at 5:00 and ended at 10. there was only one rule- you had to be in your pajamas.

---

There were tons of chips and candy and we got like 6 pizzas (there were even three whole pizzas left over)! We played the Couples Retreat movie while a group played Taboo and the other group played Catch Phrase. My group was playing Taboo and my team was winning! but then the other group wanted to play taboo too so we had this Taboo circle of like 15 people!  IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! The two teams were neck and neck for some time but when the pizza arrived we took a break and ate yummy pizza and bread sticks.

---

Then after we ate the Taboo game died...sooooo we went in the hallway and took off our shoes and ran and slid down the halls! We tried taking pictures but it didn't really work. haha. Then after a while we went back in the ATC and watched youtube videos as a bunch of the members played hide and go seek-tag! All you do is hide, but if you know the seeker is going to find you you RUN FOR IT and hope they don't catch you! :) well i just wanted to tell you all what fun stuff CPB does and I hope you will want to join. I will try and get pics up next week. The next social is this Saturday, we are going to the Field Museum! And next month there is going to be a Beach Party! so get involved and come hang out with some great people as you have a great time at one of the socials.

Every one have a great week(end)!

Hi all!

So last Friday CPB had its retreat and we had a lot of fun! But it wasn't all fun and games we also worked on our events for the rest of the year and figured out what we need to do to make CPB better. It was nice to get everything out on the table and work through any issues we were having.

---

So here are some pics from the retreat. ENJOY!

This is a pick (i know its kinda fuzzy) of all of us making a pyramid. It helped build our relationships and also have a blast! i am on the bottom (not fun) but it was really funny with people screaming to hurry up. :)

This is Yayo showing off his mad breakdancing skills!

Hi everyone! so as i said yesterday there is Coffee House tonight at 7pm. I will be reading one of my short story type things...ok to be honest i'm not really sure what i am going to do with it but i really like it and think it can become great. I wrote it in like 10-15 min and have not changed anything, so i hope that people like it...maybe i should revise it? Well i hope to see some of you there, remember FREE PIZZA AND COFFEE (and i think cookies)!!
