Day Five

Tap on the forhead. I immediatly wake up "what do you want I say". Jackson and Shen are laughing in the doorway of the tent.The tent is freezing and when they left the door was wide open so I guess I will just wake up. I put my clothes on (jeans and a hoodie), but it was freezing. I jumped back in the tent and quicly put long underwear under everything. Oh warmth you are the best. I go back out side. It is not cold anymore and now I can get over to where everyone else is. Everyone is complaining its so cold or the ride is gonna suck. Well I am officially not looking forward to the ride because it is 20 miles long. It is also going to be cold. Yay just what I want to hear I say to my friends (sarcasim). Sweats would be a good idea but what if it gets hot. After breakfeast I grab my shorts grab a t-shirt out of Shani's tent because I ran out of clean ones yesterday. Jump in a van and go to the start of the ride. After the two mile uphill we get a nice long downhill. We get to a flat and there is so many headwinds its just plain annoying. Finally we stop in river bed and have a little lunch. Then we go to the side of a little river. The group leader tell us we have to cross it and I say "with our shoes?" The teacher tells us yes of course your not just going to take your shoes off and put them back on again. I walk across through the mud squishing sloshing trudging through the mud. We get back to camp and I immidietly jump out of everything put a bathing suit grab a tool and shampoo and sprint for the shower. I jump in washing all the mud off my legs. Tonight is the last fire so it is all about the ninth graders and how they are leaving. I dont see anything because I am sleeping I slept the whole time. When I get up hug some people goodnight, and go to bed. I walk into the tent. Drop on my sleeping. Shred my clothes off me. Hop under the covers. Say goodnight to Jackson and just drop dead asleep.

laird, Excellent blog. I loved that you had consistent and very detailed writing, that you were able to really commit to the blog and make a second post containing the writing for day 1, I also enjoyed your funny descriptions of your weekly highlights, such as putting grass in jackson's ear.
