Yesterday
Morning: Mom was really slow and said I only had to be there at 8:15. I was panicking that the buses would leave me because she took her time doing make-up and..hair.
I didn't know if they were checking homework or not but I left my binder in the car and we didn't have to turn it in.
We rode on the bus to Fort Miley. We met the leaders. There were only two bathrooms and one garbage can in the whole area where the ropes course was. We couldn't litter or dig and bury garbage.
We put on harnesses and helmets. I started with the 'Double Trouble' You climb up a tree and balance on a wire holding only one rope and trying to get across to your partner and switch ropes. I waited forever to get up there. I was half nervous half excited. Once I got up there the excitement was gone. I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of unstable ground. That wire was going back and forth and my leg was shaking...badly. I was pretty much hugging the tree. Dumb..wire..
Next I did something harder. You have to climb to the top of this tree trunk and stand on a disk. Then you have to jump off and try to touch and blue plasticc thermos or a rubber chicken. The chicken was farther away. I couldn't get to the disk. One..the trunk kept moving! And two..there weren't enough holds so I could hoist myself up there...
One of my classmates told me that there was something easier. You climb up a tall tree and walk across a log to another tall tree. Then jump down. I actually made it across.
Then I did another that involved a wire and ropes..You have to get across a wire while catching onto different hanging white ropes. It was scary...very scary. But I made it across that too. Then there was the one where you slide down a wire while holding onto a pulley so it was like a wire slide. These means girls were yelling to go. When people say go it just makes me nervous...
For the whole day I heard a lot of strings of profanity.....some because of the height of the tree. Others just because they curse all the time.Most people were screaming their heads off. I was pretty quiet during my turn. It was really cold so my hands were freezing.
After noon: Lunch. I had a turkey sandwhich...but it was drowned in mayonaie so it was soggy. I hate mayonaise so I scraped it off with my finger nails. The bathroom was a port-o-potty and the lunches didn't come with napkins. My friend was freaking out about not having a sink.
We played some games for the last 2:00 hours. It involved team work. Most of the teams I had were pretty good.
So half the day I was scared silly the other half having fun..but I was also sleepy. Gramps called it a waste of time...
I came home and got my Do As Infinity CD. Turned on the comp and planned to do art. I had a major headache so I rested and ended up falling asleep until mom came home. Her throat is still sore. I've been on the comp since trying to visit sites.
