I have been to school 1 day in the past 9 days. Shit is going to fly tommorrow!!!! aahhhhhh
well I went on the 7th grade trip wednesday, thursday, and friday of last week to camp arrowhead and it was pretty fun. 7th graders are so crazy and helpless, half of them can still be mistaken for 3rd graders and the other half look their own age and about 3% look like they could be my age. It was easy finding the little cliques I would have belonged to, not suprisingly I ended up with the male-super nerd group, all brown haired-dirty-joke-telling-gamers. Just like when I was in 7th grade to some extent; the age difference makes it so much easier to hang out with the guys without them flipping out like they would have if I had done that when I was in 7th grade.
throughout the trip coach player and coach graves went around convincing all the kids that wild pigs lived around the camp and came out at night and destroyed things and ate people, and the last night they went outside at about 10:30 or 11:00 and had some sort of pig call that sounded like a scary rabid pig might sound. all the girls in my cabin were convinced that those pigs were going to break down our door and eat us. seriously, they really thought they were real pigs. it was a great prank except for the part where 3 of the girls wound up missing and mrs swick asked me to wait up for them outside in the middle of the night when I was really tired. but you know.
yesterday was mass junk shopping which included a new 35mm camera (a Canon TLb) from 1976 which had a shutter problem that fixed itself when I came home. This is very VERY exciting and its focus is much better than my 35mm Sears camera from the 60's. I'm really excited to take many many pictures with it. REALLY EXCITED!!!!!!!! I also found the Led Zeppelin self titled album on vinyl which ROCKS. It was a successful day. today is devoted to playing catch-up on school which is going to suck and make for a terrible day tommorrow.
