I worked up field day to be something annoying that "I didn't agree to" by starting this program with ASU Local, but I did have a somewhat good time.
Basically, field day is a few physical activities and a healthy bit of competition between cohorts. The event took place at Los Angeles State Historic Park...its about 15 minutes from campus in Chinatown. We had lunch from Alonti Catering Kitchen (various sandwiches to pick from, cup of fresh fruit, a big cookie and a bag of chips...plus lots and lots of water).
Games that were played were relay race (walking with an egg on a spoon and then potato sack race), water balloon toss, another relay race (this time with cohort leaders and they did a 3 legged race with 1 student and then the potato sack race) and a tie breaker game of capture the flag.
My cohort was the smallest group present (6 students 1 leader) and we came in 2 place after participating in the tie breaker game.
I am sufficiently tired and this was the most active I've been since high school! Like, no joke!
Pictures to come! Waiting for them to be shared in our slack groups.
Next Monday is the end of the semester. There's going to be a graduation luncheon where about 10 students from the ASU Local program are graduating. I'm looking forward to this as it will give me some idea of what to expect when it's my time to graduate in a few years.
11 days until the end of the semester!
