EdD 2011 Cohort Rocks!

What a fun weekend at Tigh-Na-Mara Resort in Parksville. Our cohort was invited to the Educational Institute to meet and mingle with cohorts from previous years. Well-meet we did!
Above are pictures from our fun and partying. The first one is the pre-party. We gathered to plot and plan and get ready to show the 2009 cohort that we were not only the "new kids on the block", but also the most fun.

A light hearted rumour was spread that the 2011 cohort was "slow" and perhaps not as bright as the 2009 cohort. This good natured but incessant teasing got our cohort to thinking of ways to get them back. We decided that buying some t-shirts and having a saying applied to them would be a fitting way to crash the Saturday night banquet (we would have a captive audience).

So-behind close doors our cohort secretly doned our newly stenciled t-shirts with the following words: Stuqid is as Stupid Does-2011 Eddy

When the cohorts and teachers were all nicely seated waiting for dinner to begin, we marched in giving an eloquent speech thanking the 2009 cohort for all their kind comments and making us feel very welcome. We then ripped our coats open to reveal our t-shirts and yelled "process this!"
The pictures testify to the laughter and fun we had with our statement. With this- we firming postioned our group as the "fun" and certainly not "slow" cohort. I think it was at this moment that our initiation into the Doctor of Education was complete.

We danced the night away with our teachers and all the attending cohorts. I cannot remember having that much fun and I will remember it for years to come.
To my 2011 Eddy cohort...I feel so fortunate and blessed to be with you. I know you will be my friends for life and I look forward to many more years of conspiring against the other cohorts and wearing our t-shirts to all the Educational Institutes as a reminder that we RULE!
