!!! Jamboree !!!

So Jamboree was exciting and not exciting at the same time. In class there seemed to be soo much hype and all this grandeur and pom about what the FYS Jamboree was supposed to be. It was a good time getting ready for Jamboree, I think our class definately had fun learning how to swing dance and it was a really cool idea that we had a live band playing. I think that added a little more to our performance. But it was sad that not very many people came to watch us dance or even would participate with us. I think I recall Michelle having to pull someone of their chair to come dance with us. But then again, we did have some people who were willing to learn, even though it may not have been the "cool thing" to do.
While Adam and I sat at the table (haha more like sat on the couch because of all the people at the booth) it didnt seem like very many people stopped by and talked to our table. I thought that was kind of depressing in itself. But then when I think about what I did, I wandered around and went to the booths but didn't really vocalize any questions or comments. I was soaking it up in my own accord.
I totally dont think they should call the Jamboree, Human Diversity. I think that was a lazy way to try to combine what everybody was learning.
Actually, I still am not quite sure what the point of FYS classes are. I enjoyed this class, but my roomate actually had a lot more papers to write than we had to do. As we mentioned in class I just dont see the "common experience" being present. I still dont see if this was like a learning experience to prepare you for your college classes, but if that was the point I believe it was lost....
