SCIENCE CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(TRUE STORY) PART 2

In the morning, I heard whispers and saw a flashlight beam! The whisper was saying something about the time. Then I realized it was one of my friends. She had said it was 7:45 and that was when we were supposed to be at the Dining Lodge. Our counselor turned on the lights and then that friend realized that it was actually 6:45. We were saved. Phew! We would have been "mean" to her. But it was her birthday today! Some of our cabin mates went- like me, outside in their P.J.'s to brush our teeth. Then we would come back and then the next group set of girls would go. (They would already be changed.) By the time we were done and cleaned up our cabins a little, it would be time for breakfast. The one thing I did not like about going to meals from our cabins was that we had to go down these slopes and one of them was very humongo. The boys had it pretty easy since they had only 3-4 steps to get to the Boys' Village. Anyway, after breakfast we went back to our cabins and got ready for a day. We also cleaned up our cabins since you could earn, "The Golden Dustpan Award" which was where if your cabin was spick and span, they would exchange your regular dustpan with a metallic gold painted dustpan. Today we were going on a trip to the tidepools and the beach. We would also get to see Pescadero Creek (O, Pescadero!), a marsh and Eudora, "The Talking Tree." At the tidepools we could pick a partner and go around up to the boundaries. I picked the "Birthday Girl" since we had planned so on the bus. After a day of exploring, we came back on to the campus. We had REC time and Cabin Time right now. Sadly, REC time was used up on taking a shower. To wait in line, and get dressed. Then, we had Cabin Time. We practiced for our skit in this time. Then we would have dinner after getting ready. Today we had a "Make Your Own Burrito" and it tasted delicioso. After this, we went back to our cabins and prepared for our night. Today was "Town Hall." (I forgot to tell you that I went on a Night Hike yesterday night and we got to see a large redwood tree named "Big Red.") At Town Hall my group discussed Families and whether we need a BART station running under Central Park. We said, "YES." After Town Hall we had a Night Campfire. At that time they will tell funny stories and sing songs and we would sing-a-long. My favorite song was "Friends are Special."That night I did not sleep very well. Everybody said that they had not slept very well so far every night that we had been here!
