who else thought that this past week was completely awesome? (this is Christine from South Carolina, in the Lejeune group) omg, im so glad to be home, but this past week was so awesome! how are yall doing? everyone get home ok?

hey all of us from the feb 7-12 wants to know about the rules after socials?? also roughly how much did you spend!!! thanks

hey people this is Katie from Lejeune group!!! got home around 7:30 western time...forver and a day plane ride...

for all you feb 7-12 people...after socials u have to go to bed cuz u have to be in bed by 11...socials are about 45 mins-1 1/2 hrs it depends on the day

byee!!!! miss everyone already!!! ♥

Really you have to go to bed. that's weak, what time do socials end, like there's not time for negotiation or anything like that, are the rooms joined together by any chance.

the last night was awesome, i can still feel it in my legs! and my feet still hurt!

i think i spent about a hundred dollars, then fourty for the shuttle. but, i didnt buy any souveniers, and i dont eat a load of food.


on the up side... Katie! how are you my dear?

Hey it's Michelle from the awesome Bunche group!!! this week was AWESOME I had so mcuh fun!!!
Well the socials ended around 10;45 because you had to be in your room by 11. and belive me you will want to go to bed!! the rooms are connected like there is a door to other rooms. I spent around 150 dollars.
Well you will have a blast believe me and if you get Abdul Bala as your leader you are extra lucky because he is the best. "there is no **** question" and 'politics is like sex it's all dirty"- Abdul the cool Bala.

im still packing my basketball tho..

hey this is Caleb from the MacAurthur group. This past week was SO FREAKING AWESOME that i didn't want to go home. It was so much fun and I didn't want to leave any of my new friends. In fact I never wanted the week to end. I hope we get to see each other again sometime. I'm a little tired from the jet lag but that is okay. I guess it is okay to be home. I miss everyone very very much. And to all the kids going to the upcoming forums i just hope you have as much fun as I did.

anything you guys should share with us that could come in handy while being out there??

That plane trip took forever... Didn't actually get home until 9 pm pacific....

But yea, the socials are good, but they have bedroom checks around 11 pm every night, so you can't be asleep or in the shower or anything at that time 'cause they need to check name tags. But they have like different food and drinks and stuff. Everyone was pretty nice and easy to make friends, even if you were in different groups. The prices weren't to bad except for the museums, the smithsonian food prices were nuts... But whatever, it's vacation.

1) we did a bunch of stuff..its a lot of fun...but some of the speakers were boring, but thats why u bring a pen and paper..so u can doodle!
2)idk how much i spent on food...they serve u breakfast and dinner...only thing is that museum food is outrageously priced.
3)there were prolly close to 400 (?) there was about 20 ppl to a group and a lot of groups so yaa
4)the simultion was confusing at first but by the time we started, everyone was pretty clear on what we were supposed to be doing...it was so fun, and some people got really into it which was kinda funny...remember to relax people
5)i barely did any background research but make sure you read the book they give you...its not that bad. u dont need a lot of background info..just know where Nigeria is and stuff lol that would help

hey this is david and im goin on the 14-19 and i was wondering what all u guys did during the socials?

socials... my gosh. well, the first few nights, we had some food, and everyone was in PJs and just hung out. we might play cards, or we might talk, or do homework... jsut a time to be cool.

the last night, as is rumoured, is a dance, and curfew is extended one hour. It is a totally awesome night, and you will all love it... i did.

and just a warning, there was a whole lot more boys than girls on our thing, so if yall are all into the NYLF boyfriend/girlfriend thing, boys, get them the first day, or you might be sol.

anywho, i suggest just be prepared to have fun, and dont expect for anything... when it happens, it happens, and it will be awesome
