Hi! Finally back on here! Here are some things that happened during the summer... but before I get to that I want to tell you I didn't get the Summer off for school. You see we take the summer break and add it on to our winter break. OK, here I go...
In March I was going to go to Air Fest for CAP, to patrol. Instead, the night before I was running a fever, so of course I didn't go. My mom and I both had the flu, and we were the only ones at home. when my bros had the flu, I acted as though I was their nurse. Now, it took strength to get off the couch and get a drink... or anything. We were so tired!
In April, my bros were on a two day bike-a-thon. But on the second day it rained, or more less poured. So we had to pick them up and drive them home. But later in the week I went with them and did thirty miles.
Here comes the best that happened in the summer... ENCAMPMENT!!!
We packed for Encampment Saturday, preparing to go to Encampment on Sunday, I didn't know what to expect. Instead of going to Church Sunday, I was being screamed at by the staff. I didn't feel alone in the screaming. EVERYONE (besides the staff of course) were being yelled at. So I was lead to a concrete barrack, they all looked the same. It was hot, and muggy. I could go on about each day at Encampment, so I'll just go to day 1 of Encampment (the day you arrive is not day one, it's day 0). I was in formation being sprayed down with some cheapy sunblock. The girl behind raised her hand and said her face was burning. I thought,"This is weird. sunblock burning you instead of protecting you from the sun!" Well, next thing I knew my face felt like it was on FIRE. I raised my hand and said my face was burning to. Captain said to rinse our face with our canteens, it didn't help. It stung so much I wanted to close my eyes. So Capt. let us go to the barrack to wash our face off. Sergent went with us. We ending up going to the medics. When we got there, the medics office was full. I thought they were goin faint. "A-all of them...wwhats wrong? Heat?" Well anyways cant go on about that, though they said we all looked like Campbell's tomato soup don't ask.... I won't go on about Encampment so I'll stop there. Oh, wait! One more thing! During the obstacle course, I fell a few times and ended up with a bruise on my back. How do I know what's on my back? I had my towel wrapped around my about to change into the clothes we sleep in. When the girl who slept by me said something was black on my back. She called over another girl who started freaking out. And to my embarrsement, they called over a Sergent. She sighed. "It's just a bruise. She has fair skin, it's going to show up black. It is a pretty bad bruise though..." Anyways, I didn't even feel a back ache or something... Moving on...
In July, we had VBS. It was space theame, so we had to make a space ship on the stage. It looked pretty cool! I got a part in a skit. It lasted the whole week of VBS. After the third time going on stage, I liked it.
I forget when, but I got a racing bike. I love it! Last bike I had was a mountian bike, which was OK but I never got to use it on a dirt path. Theres the bike trail, but it's of course paved. I like my new bike better than the old one!
I had to put my cat to sleep. He was my little baby...
we would talk back in forth.. no really! I miss Tiger.......
(sigh) Anyways, my shoulder is kinda hurting right now. I've had it for like maybe 2 monthes? But it comes and goes... I guess I just keep pulling a muscle from playing the drums.
Anyways, I didn't write a ton but...
Bye!
