Summer Blog #3

Didn't post yesterday because I was really busy and wiped out. I went to my two classes and I really liked scientific inquiry. It is actually much more interesting and fun than it seems. Some of the people in my class did this experiment were they have to estimate the number of pretzels they could eat in a minute. Some were sorta smart and actually wrote a low number but other put like 10 or 12! We made them eat the pretzels for a minute and it turns out most only ate 3 or 4. It was apparently because the pretzel has a covering that absorbs the saliva so it makes it harder to eat them. In quantitative paleobiology I was EXTREMELY confused and so was everyone else. At first we had to sort like 300 shells and them we did this worksheet that nobody understood. We asked the teachers but we still didn't get it lol :P For activity hour I tried out tennis with Amelia and this guy named Adam (whom I feel sorry for because he had to deal with us two terrible tennis players...) and it was pretty bad but hilarious. We managed to get one tennis ball over the fence and the other two through the ONLY two holes on the fence (I know that is like impressive!). At 7pm I played BS and Scrabble with these two guys and a girl and I didn't completely fail... I actually won at BS! Some of the students, including me, then watched a movie called "The Truman Show" with Jim Carey and it was a really good movie! Oh and I signed up for hiking tomorrow at activity hour. I'm going with my roomate. Hope that goes well lol. I already got breakfast and in a couple of minutes we are going to have a SCAVENGER HUNT!!! We are divided by pods (floor groups) and my pod is SOO gonna win! WOOOO!! Well I have to go now so bye!

Camp Blog #2

Last night I had trouble sleeping because I was hot at first and then really cold. Oh and there was a thunderstorm and the lighting was really freaking me out lol. My RA actually thought that people were shooting outside until he realized that there was light and therefore was lighting hehehe! I woke up at around 6am and got ready since we had to be outside with our groups by 7:30. Anyways... I got a more in-depth tour of the campus (which is super AWESOME! They even have trees and water fountains INSIDE the student union!) and I went to a really fun class where we had to solve really tricky problems. During the activity hour I went jogging with an RA and other campmates that wanted to jog/run. They said they would go slow but by the time I was half way through the jog I had already lost track of them and was pretty much lost with two other girls. That was pretty sad I guess and guess what? That was the first and last time I'm doing that.. I bet my legs are going to be extremely sore tomorrow. After I was done with everything I had to do I watched "The Avengers" movie which I've wanted to watch for a while now. Tomorrow there is SO much to do and I still have no idea what I'm going to do for the activity hour since I REALLY don't want to do any of the activities there are (which include tennis, soccer, and going to Walmart lol :P). Well since lights out is in less than an hour I should probably call my mom, get my stuff and clothes ready for tomorrow, and rap this blog entry up with a quote from "The Avengers" (I know kinda nerdy....).

Thor: "He (Loki) is my brother."

Black Widow: "He has killed 80 people in two days."

Thor: "He's adopted."

Summer Camp Blog #1

Had a pretty good day on my first day of summer camp. Well at the beginning I had to spend 3 hours doing nothing because i was done unpacking within 30 mins. I met my roomate and her parents and her are really nice! I also met a really nice girl that is in my research group. Her name is Amelia and she lives really close to where I live. Today was all about getting to know the campus and each other through really dumb games lol :P But I did enjoy them :)  Lights out is in a couple of minutes so I have to make this quick. Oh and I walked SO much today up hills that my legs and ankles are in PAIN! Guess I'll just have to get used to it 'cause I'm going to be here for another 27ish days....
