This past weekend was our final outdoor ed camping trip for this year.
And it was mad fun.
Unfortunetly, Kim couldn't go, because she had her wisdom teeth out two days before ;.; It sucked that she wasn't there
But there were a lot of people I did know there, including nearly all the cool people from robotics, Cait and Xtine, Vicki, Marisa, Kevin, and a few other sweet people.
So, the first night, I was put on food prep. It wasn't bad, all we had to do was put the sauce, cheese, and pepperoni on english muffins. But we had to work on it waaayyyy longer than everyone else, because while they were chowing down we were still working. It was annoying, but still fun. The best part of that was, when I started, I had my LOTR ring on, about halfway through, I didn't. I just started laughing because, wouldn't it be hilarious if someone had eaten it?? ^^' (Maybe I'm just a really bad person) Anyway, after that, we sat around the campfire, and Ryan played guitar while Paul played his bongos. They sounded really good.
AND, I found out that Dave is a huge Sick Puppies fan, which was awesome because he had them on his PSP. ^^
I slept really bad that night, there was a huge thunder and lightning storm, kinda creepy, but we were all good.
So, next morning, when I woke up, all the Robots guys were up already, and Erik is walking around saying something that sounded like Keys may have been in it. I got up, and Austin was making pancakes. And since, on the winter camping trip I didn't get one, he was giving me one then ^^ and sent Erik to find me (he ended up checking every tent but mine) X-Tine got one too, since she hadn't gotten one then either, but I thought it was really sweet that he was doing that for me. ^^
Then we had the High Ropes Course. Me and X-Tine were split up, which sucks because shes the one that inspires me to do things (she tries to deny it all the time, but I'm really glad she does) But I still did the first element, which is the Leap of Faith. On this element, you climb up a very shaky wooden pole, somehow make it up onto a very tiny platform, jump off said platform, and hit a cowbell on the way down. I was the first girl to do it, and I don't think I shamed myself too badly. The bell was tied up so I didn't hit it, but I did scream "I'm the Queen of the World" when I jumped (Blackwell suggested it) which according to everyone was way cooler. I was shaking for quite sometime after that, and what made it even worse was that the guy I like was watching me the whole time <.< He was in a different group, but he came over to watch people doing the Leap of Faith. I didn't do the next one, the Centipede, where you climb up these board that are just hanging down, chilling, but Cait attempted it. Last was climbing the 70 foot tree, and we ran out of time before I could do it <.<' Still, the whole time was really fun. We ate lunch on the bus, and Cait ditched me to sit back with the guys, but I ended up following her after X-Tine and Vicki said they were going to go to sleep, and we got into a huge debate about Vegetarians (Cait) v. Non-Vegs' (all the rest of us). Somehow, it led into a discussion about power rangers, and then pokemon. The guys were all spewing spit, they were so into it. It was a lot of fun, though. So, we headed back to camp, got changed, then went to White Water Rafting. I was in a raft with Cait, X-Tine, Vicki, and Mrs. Coon, who is one sweet gym teacher. It was a BLAST! We got into some intense splash wars with a few other rafts, then we stopped, and got into even more splash wars (including with the guy I like ^^) And then a bunch of the guys threw in all the teachers into the water. I thought they would get really angry, but they were actually pretty cool about it. AND James taught me how to skip rocks, I could never do it before. At this time, we named our raft Sally. Oh, and one of the guides comes over, and he has this knife in his hand, and he sits on our raft, and falls in! I was really worried that he had cut himself, but apparently it was a joke he did to make us think he had popped our raft.
We had some bad luck with rocks after that. Sally got hung up on Herbert(yes, we named the rocks we got stuck on) for a very long time. Then it was Andrew, but she was really attached to Herbert. It started to rain too, but that wasn't really a big deal. Our raft was totally the party raft though, it was awesome. Oh yeah, and I got hurt an my ankle, it was bleeding pretty badly. I didn't even notice at first, and it didn't bother me until we had to walk really far to the bus after we rafted. My shoe was cutting into it, I ended up just taking them off and walking barefoot in the mud.
Then we had dinner. It was speghetti and meatballs, and it was delicious, but some people forgot clothes to change into so they walked back to camp, and were gone forever, so it was all really messed up <.<
Then we went back to camp, rocked to Sick Puppies with Dave for awhile, and then we decided to play catch phrase: Boys v. Girls for a bit. The boys won, but they totally cheated.
Next, we played this game, Jack the Ripper. It's where your all village people, and in your village are Jack the Rippers who kill one person every night while the town sleeps. Then the village people vote on a person who they think is Jack the Ripper, and that person is killed. It's a very happy game, huh? ^^ But its actually extremely fun. Poor James though, he was the first one killed, and he wanted to play the most I think. Amazingly, I didn't get out that game. And we killed all the Jack the Rippers before everyone was killed. The next morning though, I was the third killed (lol and James was the second). It was funny, a bunch of people were really upset I died. But Cait was Jack the Ripper! I was very upset with her -_- It was so bad though, Cait ended up winning, the whole campsite was killed, and it was a lot like Stardust, with the ghost peanut gallery.
Afterwards, we ate breakfast, and got on the bus to go home.
And played Jack the Ripper, whole way back. ^^

All in All, It was amazing. It's kinda sad though, because so many of the people there are gone after this year. After this year ends (in 10 school days, might I add!) I'm going to have, like, 5 friends, the rest are all seniors. It sucks...
But, anyway, that was my camping trip.
