I chose to do my part of the leap frog phenomenon on October 22, 2008. Let me point out that I was not having the most glorious of days. In fact, it was down right horrible. Things were not going my way, and just when I was about ready to call it a day, I came up with an ingenious plan. I decided to ask some of my floor mates on Atkin 3 to do the leap frog in our hallway.

So, I did not receive quite the reception I had been hoping for. Apparently, leap frog is not the cool thing to do when you are in college. Eventually, I had about four of my floor mates and some random guy, whose name I discovered is Alex, volunteer to experience the amazing game of leap frog.

I asked my roommate to tape the event so I could participate. I thought she had not recorded us doing the leap frog correctly, so we ended up doing it three times. Each leap was a little different, but I think the third was the best. During the first two times, I proclaimed that the random guy, aka Alex, was"big." I did not mean big as in fat, but big as in broad, however he took it as meaning fat. I felt really bad about making him feel that way, so I made it a point to apologize and clarify exactly what I had meant by saying he was big. I told him being broad is a very good thing in my opinion. I definitely appreciate guys with wide shoulders. As a side note, I also gave him a mini-Snickers bar to make up for everything.

All in all, I think my attempt at leap frog was pretty successful, and I had fun. It even made me forget about my bad day for an hour or so. I hope you enjoy Atkin 3 doing the leap frog!
