Oh Brave New World!

I mentioned earlier that I spent a week in the mountains with my class. It was amazing. Absolutely incredible. At the end of the week, my fellow classmates voted me "Camper of the Week."

This may tell you why.

1. I only threw up once on the way up the windy rode, and that was after the bus stopped.

2. I rode the huge, enormous, terribly scary giant swing and opened my eyes at the top.

3. I allowed myself to be blobbed. That is, catapulted off of a giant air pillow into the frigid water below.

4. I played paintball. With a paintball gun. And I was wearing overalls. Enough said.

5.Although, I might add that I was only hit once and that it was in the armpit and that it didn't explode all over my shirt. Thank goodness.

6.  I hiked to the Fourth Falls.

7. I jumped in the freezing water and swam to the water fall.

8. I shot guns at the rifle range. Real guns. With real bullets.

9. I didn't throw up at all on the way home. This was the first time I have ever not thrown up.

10. I ran ten miles.

Now, I know you're dying to know what my prize was for all these accomplishments.

Well, wait no longer. I will tell you. A free coffee coupon that I forgot to use and a sticker from the back of a Chick-Fil-A cookie.

I know. I have really generous friends.

More On This Later

I really do have a lot to write about. I just got back from an incredibly wonderful week in North Carolina with the rest of the seniors at my school, a great day working at a local special-needs camp, and an crazy Dramatic Arts Department party in our backyard.

So a lot has happened. But sleep was not one of those things. So that's what I'm about to do.

We'll talk about my epic life later.
