Bubble - Omar
Hello!
I have been super busy here at LEX! I am having a great time and I have been participating in various activities as well as working in the office! A couple times a month there is an activity called Bubble. Bubble is a workshop where most of the "younger" members of Hippo Family Club come together and do Hippo activities. I say put younger in quotation marks because I think that all of the members are still "YOUNG"...some are just younger than others. ^_^
I had the chance to be a "Fellow" or leader of one of these meetings this week. And fortunately for me this meetings theme was HALLOWEEN!!! So we strongly suggested that people dress up! I had a great time leading this group. I got the chance to lead the meeting with the other interns and another member of Bubble. We did various SADAS with a Halloween based theme. We also played Lotteria (Mexican version of Bingo). One of the normal Leaders of Bubble named Gori made the Lotteria cards by hand!!! (at least I think it was him...) Regardless of who made the cards, I was and still am very impressed.
Because there are so many members, I am having a little trouble remembering everyone's name. Especially Japanese names.. Most of the members have nicknames in order to make memorizing their names easier....But I still can not remember most of their names.... I will learn them though!!!! eventually. In order to memorize different names we, the interns, had the members of Bubble circle up and we picked random people to introduce themselves. Of course we had them introduce themselves in various languages. The members introduced themselves in languages such as: English, Spanish, Thai, Russian and etc. I can't believe how many languages are spoken here at hippo. Especially by people closer to my age. I was a little bit jealous. Anyway, through this process I got to learn more about the members. I am always amazed at the stories different people have and where they have been. I have meet someone that is younger than me and has already been to around 20 different countries!!! She has been apart of LEX all her life and has had the chance to travel the world. I wish that I knew about LEX a lot earlier!
Oh, by the way!! I was a pirate for Halloween.
