Week 10

Finally, double figures. This week was another three day weekend. Tuesday was normal except for me being pressured into joining the volleyball team. I don't think I'm very good, but the team really needed boys. Wednesday was so exciting because I put on the skin on my drum and it is meant to be dry by next week. I also was given an application form for testing for the next belt in karate. Thursday was normal and then that night my advisory had a long session so as to not have to come in on Friday. We had a photo scavenger hunt and came back to the school for dinner. It was really fun. I was in a lot of pictures of different things that we needed including a picture with a really old woman. Afterwards Dad and I went to the mic night to raise money for all the people going to help sea turtles in Costa Rica. Friday was just a lazy day at home. On Saturday I had my big second overnight camp for CAP. After carrying my extremely heavy pack uphill just under half a mile I was stuffed, but only because of the altitude. We focused on fires, making them out of small sticks and trying to use only one match; and a different way by covering a cotton bud with vaseline and lighting it. We slept through in tents while the wind raged on. On Sunday morning we packed up most of the gear and participated in our last activity of the day. We made fire by using a bow with a cylindrical piece of wood in string being spun around making a coal. It was tough but we managed. We headed back home and unpacked the gear. It was a fun camp. Today was busy; I had shop club and afterwards volleyball practice, which is on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursday. It was a really fun week.
