Freestyle On-The-Fly Poem: Frozen

It's... cold in here.

Cold... A choice I understand.

I can stand...

But would I rather to sit?

Maybe... It's a decision I know too well of.

This or That...

One or Two...

Yes or No...

Can't I just be... cold...?

Can't I just... stand...?

Can't I just... understand...?

Can't I... decide...?

Why...?

Why can't I...?

Decide...

Decisions...

Choices...

Answers...

It's what I understand...

What I experience...

What I... decide...

Do you...?

Do you understand...?

Do you answer...?

Do you... choose...?

Do you feel... cold...?

EGX Committee is looking for volunteers for their Harry Potter themed Yule Ball!

 The Epically Geeky Committee is looking for volunteers to help them with games and activities. I cannot be there that evening, but I told them I would pass along the information. If you decide to go to the event, you will have to email Barbara Merlo and coordinate with her on the details. If you do end up going, please let me know. Also take pictures so we can post them in Discord, the blog and website. Thanks for considering it! 

Here's the information that was sent:

We will be hosting our second EGX series event on Saturday, December 4 from 5:30-10 pm and need volunteers to run some of the activities. Clubs will not have to purchase any supplies—we will handle that—we just need help running activities that evening! Since we will have a Harry Potter-style Yule Ball, all the activities will have HP themes. Harry Potter cosplay is encouraged but not required!

A list of activities will be available soon, so please email Barb Merlo (bmerlo@ctcd.edu) to let her know if you and your members would want to assist by Wednesday, November 10.

Thanks in advance!

Barb
