This weekend was a fun filled weekend. On Friday, after my class, went to the rendevous point at the PAC house to meet up with the rest of the 16 people. 3 people owed a dollar (they had to be there at 11 am) who were late and I was the only one that was excused for the day cause they knew I had a test.  They were late and add to our money jar which will be used as a reward system.

We started off spliting into four groups, deemed 4 cars that went up there and went on a scavenger hunt. One: go to 5 restaurants and get signatures on napkins and some sort of picture, Two: Go to Live Bait, which WAS the old hangout spot for Cal. St. Long Beach Students, and Three: End at Makeout Park at Signal Hill, a beautiful view of the city overlooking the ocean. The reasons that we help make friends by going to places that we eat together, have favorite hangout spots and then the last one, imagine a big circular area, and three murals along the perimeter, evenly spaced, and one statue in the middle. In this, it represented PAC in the middle and the fraternities and sororities that were made off of it. It was really a great speech from our PAC president and very motivating. Then we were off to Lake Arrowhead.  The damn 91 east freeway took way too long and I'm never ever using that freeway again to go to either vegas or to the mountain resorts.

Yeah, we got there we were barely able to fit 4 cars into the area in front of the house. The house, address 749, was a three story house, previously homed by VIETNAMESE! The front door took us right to the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living room, dining room. Well call this the second (main) floor. We went downstairs first. It was creepy cause it was really dark when the stairs had no lights, but when we turned them on, the walls were bending like it was being squished. It was quite frightening. At the bottom of the stairs came a game room, but it was just a 3/4 length pool table along with a medium sized living room. and two other rooms (a 4 bed, and a 2 bed), a bathroom, and a laundry room.

The top floor included a bathroom with a shower and two bedrooms. We figured that the first night everyone can split up evenly, but it was quite spooky with cobwebs on the main floor, the walls were crooked, and an eerie feeling to it. At night was just chilling and relaxing and cooking our own food, bbq was great, and running around just trying to get used to it. We slept too early, like 12 midnight, and apparently, 14/17 of us went to the main floor's living room cause we were just that scared. haha.

We started off the second day when we made some breakfast of champions, spam, eggs, and rice, with a whole load of ketchup, hehe, then it went on to our stategic cabinet workshops. The workshops included how to recruit new people, setting up events, and getting to know a person on cabinet that we didnt' get to talk to normally.  And that ended with the initiation to officially become PAC cabinet. A shot of Jack Daniels Whiskey in one hand blindfolded (which represented the hardships that the year will bring) and the other hand some pineapple juice (for all the fun times that we are going to have) It was great comparisons.

Then we headed for the lake, but it wasn't such a successful journey. We first got lost in the roads, in which they were sharp twists and turns, but ended up at the outlets which led to access to the beach. Apparently you need some kind of residental permit to get into the lake and the beach was across the way. How do you have a beach at the lake, it confuses me, but anyways, went back to the house, and just took naps cause we were super duper hot in the woods. But there were pranks going around, like putting lotion on top of peoples heads and taking pictures of them, calling them money shots, haha. It was a pretty curious cabinet and it went on to talks about sex, and then played some who's line is it anyways games.

The third day, we had clogged the main floor's bathroom. And left a surprise there for the people that are going to come and fix that. All in all, we ended up cleaning the house and leaving it as it was when we came in, spooky. It wasn't that bad of a drive coming back, 1 hr, 30 min, from 18 west, 215 south, 60 west, 57 south, 22 west, 405 north, exit Palo Verde and back to the home base.
