It was amazing getting to know my fellow dancers and learning more about hawaiian culture and dance.

Went back to the sun room to clean all the glitter from the lava lamps. There was so much glitter I swept for like 25 minutes to try and get it all off the ground. Then we went into all the rooms in sloan and fixed the chairs that were moved. In rooms in sloan 163, 166, 169, 150 as well as putting the tables that were borrowed from dana hall away according.

For this hour I was switched to make the lava lamps with the kids. It was really fun they really enjoyed decorating them and make it their own, I like the control chaos that was going on during the process. The parents were also surprised that we knew what lava lamps were, as I learned they were most popular in the 70s! There was another volunteer that came in towards the end of my shift and I helped teach her what I was doing to ensure that the children get the most out of their experience at KSED.

I was in the Sun Room, I think, the one with the lava lamps! We prepped a lot of them in the beginning which was really fun. Then I was switched over to teach the kids about tension with this cool off brand lego set. So of them even built the structure from scratch super fast, I was really impressed. They were very sweet and I had a great time.

This is my second time cleaning the stream, surprisingly there was a lot more trash than I was expecting. This time around we took several things out of the stream. My favorite part was of my time cleaning was grabbing a plastic plate that was hanging in a branch above the stream. Also the sign went up and it made us so very proud of how far we have come as a sorority!

It was really nice to give back to the community and keeping our stream clean. There were way more trash and random objects found than I initially expected. Some of the highlight items that stuck out was a traffic cone and hammer!
