this is a really really really long post (again)
camp wasn't that bushy even though it's called great aussie bush camp. but it was FUN. i dunno if i liked year 9 camp better since i do miss the people who were with me in cabins, but i'm sort of glad i have a few different people, even if they didn't know when to stop talking so loudly at night >_>
the cabins were cramped and squishy and fit 8 girls. they didn't provide blankets or pillows, so i slept on a towel for a pillow and a sheet for a blanket :( i felt like a hobo
toilets were really ... there were ten showers and 6 toilets or so. and everyone took sooooo long to shower, we had to put a three minute limit and threaten to steal their stuff =o
and the food! it was junk food after another- sounds so yummy but i think i'm sick of junk food now
and something really annoying. they told us to bring a mess kit, but the only thing we needed was a cup. and all the rest of the stuff we didn't need and it just sat in our luggage for the entire camp=.=
and i lost my voice. i wheeze when i try to talk in my normal voice and you can't even hear half of the stuff i'm saying cos it just disappears somewhere :( and now i can only whisper, because talking normally is too much of an effort! i sound so terrible and i keep needing to repeat things because no one can hear me :( and i ate three packets of chips and a few sour worms too because i just couldn't resist all the junk food being passed around the cabin T^T my voice = terribly horribly monstrously deep and squeaky simultaneously, whisper = normal voice except it's much quieter
okay, back to camp details. on the first day my group (group 1) did survivor challenge. we got split into two groups of thirteen people and competed to see which team could put three planks on tyres in the dam and reach the middle first. and that was hard. sooo much team work, and screaming going on, and people falling into the water. and it was scary balancing on planks and everyone was squashed beside you. anyway my team lost but it was fun (: and we did a crossroad lecture about sex and relationships - awkward. and then in the night we played commando! everyone had to split into teams and one person from each team had to be a hostage. we had to retrieve our hostage without getting shone in the face with a torch by a teacher or camp instructor who acted as guards and patrolled. so the first time we sucked. and i got scared shitless. henretty popped up randomly and said BOOOOO straight to me and his face looked really creepy and i screamed really really loudly for like ten seconds(i think this contributed to my lost voice since my voice was okay on the first day)the second time we were awesome and hid for 20 mins but then got caught cos we whispered too loudly .. and then we just sucked. we got caught 100-200m from the camp fire for the next three times <- fail. after commando we watched a camp instructor do two fire dances :D
and talked in bed until like 12 when security told us off and got woken up at 6. arrghhh. everyone was so LOUD and AWAKE and TALKATIVE and some people were already showering =| and then we did canoeing! i sat in the front. and i reckon we were pretty decent, and we only bumped into trees three times during canoeing (: then we did abseiling - 12m down the wall. i was a total noob. i slid against the wall instead of jumping and i couldn't get the L shape right ><
and then we went to some place called ocean beach and spent 30 minutes walking on the beach to get to where the life guards were and stayed for one and half hours. but we made a sandcastle and a white crab made it their home (: and we took an awesome jumping photo! :D perfect timing and for once i was actually jumping pretty high (: then after dinner we did a bvg battle and we lost, totally smashed by the guys ): zzz
and everyone was pretty dead tired and we all slept before 12. then we were forced to wake up at 6 to clean out our cabins. then we had brekky, then high ropes. soooo scary! it was pretty long too. you had to go in a team of four and walk along ropes, ten metres off the ground. i'm sort of scared of heights 10m and above and i wobbled like crazy on the first section of rope and then when i looked down i just wanted to cry. <- wimpy me :( i was so unbalanced! got steadier though and i flying fox-ed two sections and saved nicola who got stuck when in the middle of a section when she decided to do the flying fox XD i wish this wasn't true but i'm still scared of heights. i know that the stuff is safe but i'm just scared anyway and think of many drastic and dramatic situations as to what could happen which is 99% unlikely to happen >< after high ropes we went to another crossroad lecture about drugs where i was hoping to doze off but i didn't. i just reaffirmed i was 100% certain i shall never do drugs. the videos were too graphic and disturbing. after that we ate lunch and headed for home! arrived at school around 3.30~ and now here i am at home (:
oh and hannah has a really good polaroid pic with me! with but she won't let me keep it unless she gets bored of it and doesn't like it anymore:( so i took a photo of it.
here it is, a photo of a photo -
I WANT THE REAL POLAROID PIC!
and bitter, i'm camp-pic-less sorrrrrrrry! and that is one real fat squishy pikachu! (:
