WASC

    Monday and Tuesday studenet council went to Casper for the Wyoming Association of Student Councils. The first day of the convention we spent approving platforms, attending leadership workshops, and we listened to an inspirational speaker. We left at 5:30 in the morning. Which was rather sucky, but the rest of our trip made up for it. When we arrived we went through the usual proceedures of checking in and seating ourselves in the auditorium. After the boring events of the morning we listened to an inspirational speaker named Shannon Pickard. He was hilarious! His speach was informative, and he also held our attention the whole time by making it commical.

    After the speaker the cannidates for WASC council postions gave their speeches. There was one kid that was a genius. His name was Jordan C. and he answered all of the questions presented flawlessly, in a way that was hilarious, but at the same time genuine. He recieved all six of Landers votes. That night we all went to the dance that was in the caffeteria and we also had the t-shirt exchange. No one wanted to switch with me because frankly our shirts are rather suckish. After I enlisted the help of four fellow student council members we finally exchanged my shirt. Nick got one of the sweetest shirts ever! It's a Kelly Walsh student council one and it is making fun of the Kanye West vs. Taylor Swift delihma. Unfortunatly, it was too small. So he gave it to me. Thanks Nick! :D

    Tuesday we had another speaker who was amazing. He was a paralympic skier and he was super funny. We returned back to Lander at 12:00. WASC this year was the best!
