<p>Falcons, did you go to Session B? I remember that gymnast guy! We all stood around him yelling while he just pumped them out. Insane boys! :)</p>
<p>Don’t stress out about seminar, guys. It’s a TON of fun, and you’ll all be able to handle the level of physical activity. Seminar also will give you a good idea of different exercises the cadre like to use for beast, so you will know specific things to practice, like flutter kicks and mountain climbers. The practice CFA you will take is just that… practice. You won’t be able to use it in your actual application for the class of 2012, and it’s more just a good checkpoint for you to see where you’re at and give you grounds for improvement. And you will improve! Girls, don’t stress out about the fact that you can’t do pull ups yet. I used to stress about it last summer when I was prepping for the CFA, and it didn’t help at all because I set a deadline for myself and then was just completely immobilized because it seemed like an unreachable goal. Just work at it over time, and you WILL get there. In addition to the website PETKO pointed out, I’d recommend that you use the pull up machine at your local gym that allows you to lift a certain percentage of your body weight in a pull up. Work on it daily and gradually work your way up to lifting your full body weight. That’s what I did, and now I can do two pull ups! :)</p>
<p>Being a typical girl, I brought way too much stuff to seminar. I didn’t realize that they provided PT clothes and a ton of other stuff, so I brought workout clothes for every day of seminar, plus different outfits for every day. Don’t do that.
You’ll wear these nifty blue seminar shirts every day that are so huge you could pitch a tent in them, and you’ll love it. All you need really is a couple of pairs of jeans (or apparently the tan pants… whatever your list says), a nice outfit for the graduation/dance at the end of the week, toiletries, sleeping bag and pillow, and spending money. For the dance, I just wore a nice skirt and blouse. Advice to girls: don’t bring a skanky dress for the dance. You’ll look like an idiot, to put it kindly.
The last full day is a ton of fun, even if the guy-to-girl ratio is a lot more apparent at the dance. Poor boys! ;)</p>
