So here I am camping with everybody who was originally suppose to come on the trip, who would've thought right? I've had a lot of fun. We got to the marina quite late and we sat there in front of the loading dock just starring at the fish that swam by and after a awhile had gone by we finally decided to get up and purchase our boating tickets. They were 15 dollars, an unexpected price from what I had been previously told. Finally the captain had arrived and we gathered all the crap load of things we had purchased and had brought over to use for this trip. Indeed we packed a whole lot of things. We litetally got to the Island in like 3 minutes. Matt, Nick B., and I went to the office and checked in, I finallly payed the reservation and fire wood and off to site 15 and 16 we were. The amount of things that I had thrown on my back were probably the equivalent to the weight of 5 children. Yes, I had to carry that intense weight. As we jumped everything from one side.of the beach.to thr camo grounds we started slowly but surely getting.settled in.and Matt thankfully (our tent setting expert) took the lead and the initiative to set up what would be our homes for the next two days. Matt's tent which was propotional to the shape of a square and was the color blue was set up in about 15 minutes. It was quite impressive I have to say....then afterwards I opened up Brother Cano's tent and we began the hectic work of setting up what I like to call our "woman cave." And afterwards our tents really were gendered, the boys would be sleeping in a blue tent and the girls in a red tent. Our coolers were then set up, one with meats, the other with fruits, and then the third once Karol arrived contained drinks (or something like that). We were pretty much starving and so Nick whipped us up some amazing chicken patties. They were delicious, even with the lack of seasoning. We recycled our plates and fueled up on Capri sun pouches, which were probably one of my most favorite childhood drinks, especilly when it came to coming to the beach. I grabbed my bathing suit, threw it on and lay on the sand by then. The shore started to bother me and practically reached the tip of my toes at one point. I tryed to read "A Fault In Our Stars", but let's be real, it didn't happen. My legs were stinging after trying to submerge myself into the salt water. Tomorrow I would try again, because frankly going to the beach and not going into the water shouldn't be allowed. TO BE CONTINUED.

Today is my first day of summer and I can't even fathom the fact that I won't be taking any more exams this week. It's one of those things that happens, but hits you after it occurs. I'm glad though. I wasn't sure if I could handle another biology exam. Yesterday, while I was taking the final I couldn't happen to think as I got through every question that I was almost there, one step closer to the last question. I was one of the last ones out of the room. I'm not really sure how I did either. My intentions were to just try to finish the 105 questions. There were so many genetics problems. So many annoying problems. And you can't just breeze through them. Do many questions involving diseases and a whole lot of other mumbo biojumbo... I did check my grade though, I got an 82 on my final. Now all that is left is to do very well next semester. WOOO!
Not having control over anything is weird.
Yesterday was probably one of the craziest days of my life. I don't mean this in a good way either... I went to work at 9am. That usually never happens because I've been working night shifts at Ross for the past 6 months. So I had to adjust quickly and I didn't do to bad either... I finished 2 and a half boxes and well there were many more left... after work I ran out of the store so I wouldn't have to take a lunch break. On my way home I called Pauleen my old Color Guard Instructor, she had texted me the night before to talk about a job opportunity. Yes, you've heard correct a job opportunity! My high school needs another techinician. I will be teaching. Anyone who knows me knows that I've always wanted to do this. And l would be working close to home. I am excited. There are other things I need to worry about... but I'll discuss that later. I was on my way to school to pick up my friend Raiza, she's actually going to be sleeping over all weekend for camping trip on Monday and Tuesday. I am excited for that too. But more things came up through out the day... I found out that Raiza and Nick were dating which was extremely surprising. Then I found out that one of our friends was well... he was into the same sex. I had had my suspicions but I had never brought it up. Because those types of things aren't the kind of things you just ask out loud. Especially in large groups of people. Then a bomb came rushing down to earth when I found out my friend Gabriel wasn't even going to come camping with us. And the remainder of the night was like a roller coaster. I had my friend Gabe being overly sensitive about him and a frienship he had with someon else. Sometimes unfortunatley I just wish people would move on. It's important in life to not let others come inbetween the way of your happiness. You can't let outhers control you. And my friend was trying to do too much avoiding. It's not healthy. I stayed up very late reading "A Fault In Our Starts." Reading seems to make every pain, and every weird thing going on your life go away. It's a magical and amazing thing.
Reading is truly awesome.
