Field Day Reflection

I really really loved the field day. I thought it was so fun to see the University campus and experience a little piece of college life. The lectures were interesting and the student panel was cool. My favorite part was our lunch break! Collin, Kristen and I walked to Dinkytown with Collin's brother and ate at this super cool pizza place called La Mesa. They have all these weird and crazy pizzas like macaroni pizza and pizza with french fries on it and potatoes and honey mustard and all these weird things that sound really gross at first, but are insanely good! At first Kristen and I wanted just like peperoni, but then we decided to just point at a random slice of pizza that looked good and just eat it and it turned out to be so good! After that we walked down to this cool frozen yogurt place and got that and walked round a bit and went back to the lecture.


I had a very..interesting...experience in the lecture after lunch! I was sitting in the lecture and about ten minutes into it I heard Claire and Sydney and everyone behind me like whispering and talking and I turned around and they were all looking at me like super funny and I was so confused so I turned back around, but they kept whispering so I turned around to them again and was like what are you all looking at? And then they proceeded to be like "Brooke don't freak out and don't move, but there's a bee in your hair" and was like oh my goodness...! Bees totally freak me out and Kari was right behind me and she's allergic to bees and I didn't want to get stung so I didn't know what to do about the situation. Kristen and I ended up leaving lecture and went walking outside where Kristen wanted to try and hit/kill the bee on my head by hitting it with my zip-up I was wearing. I was not at all okay with that idea because it probably would have stung me. I tried like running around to see if the movement would cause it to fly away, but when that didn't work we went up to this random guy who was getting his bike and asked if he knew how to handle bees. He was super nice and friendly and got the bee out of my hair for me!! I was so grateful to him and that experience made my day at the University so much more memorable! (:
