  wednesday~ went to school... and we got onto the bus to somerset... played sweet+sour and we sang heapsa songs. we were sitting at the back and the whole of the bus was basically guys and they had heaps of food, so we scabbed! =) got to the camp place and we got divided up into out groups etc. got taught how to put up our tents... and harshi and i succeeded without it falling down! =) after lunch, we went abseiling, which was heaps of fun. i got freaked out first... but then it got fun.
we walked around some of the bush bits while we were waiting. we had free time... and us chicks made a grassman, like a snowman... but with grass. spent half our time defending it from the guys who were trying to destroy it... dinner was pasta stuff, which wasn't actually too bad... then we played games with the other group that was staying there too. we had to go around and ask all the teachers and staff members if they were aa certain character and then we had to find all of the characters that we were told, until we had found nemo... it was a bit of a dodgy game... too much exercise! hehehe =) sleeping that night was really noisy. one of the guys in our group snored really loud and it was pretty uncomfortable... thursday~ woke up at 6:30, too early. found all this grass on our clothes from wednesday's grassman making. it took us ages to pack our bags up again and stuff... so we were late to breakfast. after breakfast we went canoeing, which was heaps fun, except for the fact that we got our shoes so wet!
but they were old shoes so it was all good! =) the river was really pretty and we had a sandcastle building competition! fun fun =) lunch, and then a very long bushwalk. 3 hours. it was pretty fun even though i was dead for the whole thing, basically. but it was very tiring. and more like a hike. met up with duke of ed-ers though, which was cool. then we got to our campsite and then we had to set up our tents and then us girls helped with dinner. the guys built up the fire and once it got going, it was SOOOOOOOOOOO warm! =) dinner was stew, which was better than the pasta in some respects... and we were playing this sing off thing... you get a topic, like colours and you have to think of as many songs as you can that have the word colours in it... or any of the colours in it. then you go around the groups singing one at a time, not repeating any that have already been said.
it was really fun and we played for so long until we froze!=/ sleeping was better that night... though i could still hear whoever it was snoring... and it was FREEZING!!!!!!!! friday~ woke up at 6:00!!!!! that's the earliest i have woken up without having ot set an alarm or rely on anyone else! it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo cold in the tent! we got changed, packed our tent and our bags, then had breakfast, to be told that it was only 4 degrees!!!!
never been that cold before... we had to walk back to camp, but we took the short way.. and then we went to do the low ropes course which was heaps fun, especially the flying fox!! =) went to thee obstacle course after that and then the wombat hole. most of us didn't go in because there wouldn't ahve been enough time to change.
it's basically a hole of mud/dirt. wasn't all that keen... =/ lunch and then we got shoved onto a bus... spent more time singing, but since it was less than half the grade on two buses, it wasn't very full. we didn't manage to get the back seats though. saw some very interesting signs on the way...: ~ BURNS pet food ~ turtle nursery ~ nathan's body repairing and painting ~ use other footpath [where there was no actual foot path] ~ sold by sale like i said... interesting... =) *yawn* need to sleep... but have to learn dictation for chinese tomorrow... then half yearlies next week.. *sigh*
