The Chronicles of John Trammell

For the past year I have been president of the Southern 4-H Sectional Teen Council.    One big job of being president of the council is to plan and run a Teen Involvement Conference, A.K.A. TIC.    I have been work my ass off for the year getting applications ready, getting a guest speaker, and making sure that the workshops are all planned out.    The Conference is three days long and it is every third weekend of January. And it is held at a camp near  Idyllwild ,  California , In the San Bernardino County Forest. Friday came around; I first went to school and left early at 11:30.      When I got home I got everything together, which I was up until 1:30 the past night getting everything that I needed together.     When I got up there my committee was there and ready to help.    From 5:00 to 8:30 I had people show from  Imperial   County  all the way to  San Luis Obispo   County .    The conference began with an orientation and then went into ice breakers; during ice beakers I was in

Yesterday morning I had three meetings at Mt. SAC Community college.  My best friends from imperial valley were there.  After each of these meetings we always go and eat or try to have some fun.  After the meeting we wanted to eat somewhere that was different then all the other places that we ate at in the past. So we went to the Rainforest Cafe in Ontario Mills, one of the best malls in southern California.  This place is awsome.  It has fish tanks all over the place, and animal stuff.  The food was real great.  For desert my friend's mom ordered something called volcano.  Once it comes you have to yell VOLCANO!!!! Which we did along with everyone else in the cafe.  It was just soo fun being there.  Afterwards we wanted to see about going bowling, well we got to redlands and the bowling place was all booked.  So for about one hour we just played video games in the arcade, which was still fun.  There was this car racing game and I won 1st place 6 times in a row.  None of my friends

Two days ago I had my first trip to UC Davis to the state 4-H office.    I got off the airplane at the  Sacramento  airport and I went strait to, yeah you guessed it, starbucks.    After starbucks I met up with the other members of the state tech. team that was flying in.    We got a rental car and drove 20 minutes to UC Davis.    Everything was usual.    This is the first meeting with the new team.    It felt strange, many of the people who have been on the team for years where no longer there and we only had one new person on the team.    He is cool.    At night we went geo-caching, which is you find something with a gps unit that someone you have no clue who it is hid it.    We started at 10:00 at night and ended at 11:30.   The next day we learned Macromedia flash with the lab, but since I had the program on my laptop, I just used my computer, which is a lot better then our mobile lab that we use to teach computer stuff too.    Then I hanged out with a few of my friends that live i
