There’s been some time since I went camping, but I just haven’t had the chance to update my blog yet.. But better now than never!
The Year 11 Leadership Camp went from 24th – 26th November and was held at ‘Camp Warrawee’ near Brisbane. The camp was supposed to prepare us year 11 students for next year as we will be year 12 students next year and will have to represent our school. Over the three days we did a lot of things which had to do with team work. I got to know people better and I also met and talked to new people who I never had talked to before. One day we did climbing activities, as for example the flying fox, tree climbing and many other games. On Friday we went canoeing and we had to build our own raft to cross a river. Our raft was actually quite good, except that it was too small to fit our entire team on it.. I was muddy and absolutely soaked afterwards, but it was worth it! The last night of the camp they had also organised a ‘High School Stereotypes’ themed dance which was quite fun. Trish and I dressed up as cheerleaders. I didn’t take any photos myself, but I am tagged on a few on Facebook.
On the last day of camp we got back home in the middle of the afternoon, and as soon as I came home I had to quickly have a shower and wash my clothes before we drove off an hour later to go camping at ‘Spring Gully Stay’. I thought I would be really tired after the school camp, but it wasn’t too bad. We stayed at a creek and I even had a little dip, although it was freezing.. I also had a shower in a little tent by only using 8l of water, including washing my hair! I must say I am pretty proud of myself..
So now I’m officially on holidays! I’ve just been hanging out with friends pretty much every day, but I haven’t been able to do too much because it has been raining HEAPS the whole time. But yesterday and today it didn’t rain, but instead it is boiling hot now when the rain had disappeared (wonder for how long).. It actually is riduculously hot, no idea how I will survive up in Cairns in a few weeks time! I would be soo happy if I just could walk around in the snow for 1 day dressed in a jacket, scarf, boots and gloves.. But I guess I will have to wait another 1 year to experience that. I know I’ve always said I love the sun and the hot weather, but I promise, nobody of you would still love it as much after living 2 years in summer.. Many have already pointed out how tanned my legs and arms are already, some have even said that I look like an aboriginee! 😉
