Camp, camp, CAMP!!!

I just got back from... CAMP! Camp was sooo much fun, and I'm really sad to have to leave :(
I left my schedule for what I did at camp back at school, but tomorrow I will bring it back home so I can copy it down and type it here!


The only things that weren't so nice were the showers. The water was either freezing cold or boiling hot. Never warm. And there would barely be any water coming out! Maybe about one or two drops every minute. There are signs all around the campsite saying 'Use less water, save the planet', but I didn't think that they would take it that seriously... also, the beds were as hard as my desk, so I could never sleep through the night comfortably. So at least now that I am back I can shower in clean showers and sleep in a nice bed.


At camp, we did really fun things like going on sampans, canoes, water bikes, and archery, rock climbing, rope courses, swimming, tennis, pool, squash, table tennis, soccer, basketball, and hiking... there are loads of other activities that we did but I forgot them... I will list all the things I did at camp when I get my schedule back.


When I got home from camp, I was really tired, so I had a nap for a few hours. I woke up right before tennis, and although I was still really tired I still had to go. 


When I got back I practiced violin... I have to memorize a 5-page concerto by Saturday!! I've only memorize half a page... 4 1/2 more pages to go!!

It was another really rainy day today. But I still had swimming for P.E. at school today, so the water was really freezing!!


At school for Social Studies, we got assigned to be different people for Cultural Encounters. I'm a black smith and I have US$150. Next Thursday, we have to dress up as whoever we are to school.


After school, I had clarinet class and we learnt many new songs... nearly finished with the whole book!!


When clarinet was over, I had disco class. We continued the dances we are learning for the charity bazaar.


At school, there is a program going on called Team Fear. Grayce, Alex and I are going to be doing this. It's a race where we have to do mountain biking, rock climbing, off road running, swimming in the sea, etc... This race is on November 29th and this Wednesday there will be a tryout to see if you are fit enough to make the actual race.
