  Welcome to part one of Blog of Bagel's July edition of Nerdular Nerdance. nbsp;  This month,
 the topic is Yearbook Camp.
nbsp;
 Now,  undoubtedly,  you've heard that I'm going to yearbook camp in the big city of Orlando,  FL.
nbsp;
 If you've been reading this blog at all in the past week or so,  you've noticed that I have been posting interesting stories from the past two years at camp.
nbsp;
 So,  now,  less than 48 hours until I leave,  I start my Nerdular Nerdance,  and this one lasts all the way until next Thursday.
nbsp;
 I'll have pictures from the trip ( after I come back,  obviously)  stories from years past continuing,  and,  of course,  the much anticipated AudioBlog of Bagel posts. hidden cellphone,  anyone?
nbsp;
 Sure,  why not.
nbsp;
 In today's installment,  I'll be talking about the class I was in in the 2002 Yearbook Camp,  and the other crazy things that happened that year.
nbsp;
 &
nbsp;
 Yearbook I:  The 2002 Yearbook Camp Class Take a crazed,  loud,  and annoying yearbook advisor from Seminole High School,  add her in with a fresh graduate from some other school,
 and add a bunch of yearbook things,  and you get Yearbook I.
nbsp;
 The teacher was LOUD.
nbsp;
 It was me,  Courtney,  and Jessie in that class,  and we were all kind of annoyed with her.
nbsp;
 She insisted on using a microphone.
nbsp;
 It was a pretty large room they had us in,  but the class wasn't all that big,  and she used the microphone,  making her already loud voice even louder.
nbsp;
 In this class,  we learned the basics of creating a yearbook,  including the different sections,  how to design layouts on paper,  and how to write stories,  captions,  etc.
nbsp;
 It was a good start for me,  because I came into the yearbook staff absolutely clueless as to anything that we would be doing.
nbsp;
 I had no idea that we created our own layouts.
nbsp;
 Boy,  was I wrong about that one.
nbsp;
 Had I been on my middle school yearbook ( dramatic how I turned out not to be on it,  but,  we won't go into that)  then I probably would have had a little more knowledge as to what was going on,  but,  I wasn't.
nbsp;
 So,
 oh well.
nbsp;
 Anyway.
nbsp;
 The teacher was loud,  I don't know how to stress that one enough.
nbsp;
 And,  the final project that we had to complete was very tedious ( I'm horrible at cutting things out of magazines. HORRIBLE!
nbsp;
 We had to design a layout,  complete with story,
 captions,
 pictures,
 etc.
nbsp;
 Everything,  essentially.
nbsp;
 There was a lot of it,
 but,
 at least I got through it.
nbsp;
 By the way,  did I mention the teacher was loud?
nbsp;
 LOUD!
 &
nbsp;
 2002 Camp:  The Story of Mrs.  Yearbook Advisor's Mom Being a new staff member that year,  I didn't know Mrs.  Yearbook Advisor's mom.
nbsp;
 I had no idea that getting in a car with her would be the riskiest thing in the world.
nbsp;
 Well,  guess what folks,  it turned out that way.
nbsp;
 Me,
 Courtney,
 and Melissa all got stuck riding with Mrs.  Yearbook Advisor's Mom and Mrs.  Yearbook Advisor's daughter.
nbsp;
 Backing out of the driveway,  we hit Lisandra's ( a senior at that time)  car.
nbsp;
 No damage.
nbsp;
 But,  still,  she rammed into it.
nbsp;
 We didn't tell anyone,
 and I don't think it was until October of that year when someone blurted it out ( and it was probably me,  but I don't remember)
nbsp;
 And,
 when we were on a busy highway in Orlando heading to Chili's,  she tried getting over a lane so she could turn left,  and she ALMOST hit another car. THAT would have sucked.
nbsp;
 Had we hit that car,  Melissa probably wouldn't be here today.
nbsp;
 I wonder why Mrs.  Yearbook Advisor didn't have her mom drive last year.
 &
nbsp;
 And that's all I've got for today.
nbsp;
 Later on,  I've got the " Top 10 Cars of 2005"  list,  which will have pictures and things of the 10 cars that I think look the sweetest for 2005.
nbsp;
 Then,  I PROMISE I'll do a Late Night Bloggin' tonight,  and maybe something else,  if I have time.
nbsp;
 Tomorrow's Nerdular Nerdance is all about Camp Orlando 2003.
nbsp;
 See ya next time.
