El Dorado
The final day of orientation ended with a game called El Dorado. The idea was for the professors to trick us into thinking that we should be competitive but the reality was, they wanted, and we needed, to work together. The game was to find a treasure and each team had different information that we needed to trade with each other. I was volunteered to do the negotiating and after about 45 minutes, I had gather a bunch of info but the more we gathered the more I realized how much we were missing. Eventually, we managed to pull all 10 groups together to solve the problem and this was by far the most stressful of the "tests." However, we did manage to not fail!
