Hello everyone who has taken the time to read this!  Welcome to a new year!  Hopefully most of you who are reading this are already GEO members (Thanks For  Joining), but if not…what are you waiting for?   I will be your 2003-2004 GEO President.   Since I am not allowed to give out my name you can call me…Sy (Cac, SyWhat, etc) .   I am looking forward to seeing many of you become active members.   I am also looking forward to getting to know you.   The other three officers and myself have been working hard to make this year one of the best.  Everyone should be looking forward to new hikes and new events.  

     Well that’s enough of that…lets get to the more interesting subject…ME! (J/K…I’m not conceited…well not that much)   I like nice long walks on the beach and moonlight dinners (oops hold on, wrong profile.)   Well I am a 16 year old Senior and no I'm not so smart that I skipped a grade…my birthday is in October.   ( I would like a gift from you GEO members).   I am usually a very happy person.   I am a very talkative person…so sometimes if I’m ever going on and on and on…just tell me something (not too harsh!) I am also a music freak.   I use to play the flute for my middle school but now I just play for fun.   A lot of people think that I am a “Teeny-Bopper,” since I use to be an *NSYNC Freak, but right now I’ve gotten into R&B and Pop-Punk!  But actually, I love it all.   Oldies…to Rock…To Pop…To Hip Hop.   I would listen to music all day if I could.

     Besides the fact of me being very happy, talkative, and sometimes hyper…I do have a somewhat serious side.   I like to call this part of me…my smart side.   And yes I am pretty smart.   Actually as I think back, that’s how I got into this…Mr. Beeken Honors World Culture… oh yea and the Sun Goddess, Yes the Sun Goddess she dragged me into the dark side.   J/K ~~~ I love GEO!   In addition to being your GEO  President, as if that does not keep me busy, I am also the Class Of 2004  President; which means I’m usually at school and usually working with the old man.   But if I’m not in the ASB room or in the infamous S-2, I am likely at home doing homework.   (Yes…don’t you all just love extremely dull, uninteresting life)   When I do get the time off from all these activities I am usually reading poetry or my book of quotes.   I use to cheered for 7 years before high school…so sometimes you may see me standing up in the crowd at a football game, a basketball game, or a rally cheering…try not to look at my strangely.    Besides that I really love music.   I can sit somewhere for hours just listening to different types of music.     Other times my Mommy and I will turn to AMC Classics and watch some old black and white movies!   (I love the short silent ones)   This is basically how I spend my time…when I’m not out on a GEO event or doing work. 

      This is my second year as a GEO officer, so I am looking forward to doing some hikes again…and doing some for the first time.   One of the things that I am looking forward to participating in is that Japanese Exchange Program.   I have heard nothing but good things from people. (Mainly the GEO 2002-2003 President and Secretary, and the 2003-2004 Vice President and Treasurer!) I’m very excited about going next summer!  If you are into different cultures and trying new things this is for you.   I am also looking forward to new hikes that haven't been done in a while.  Everyone who joins GEO should be expecting many things that you would have never done before.   Some examples of that are: eating food that you normally don't or going hiking for the first time.   That is what GEO is all about. I hope that many people become active members and participate in events to expand their cultural knowledge.   No club rejuvenates, refreshes, or refuels better than…GEO, "The Adventure Quencher…Is IT In You?" So Remember…Get Out & See The World!
