I'm Alive!

The camp out = Totally awesome!

What I did at the camp out: When I first got there I helped to set up one of the tents. Then we went and I learned how to make two kinds of fires without matches, and how to put fires out. I learned how to cook with a dutch oven, and how to make biscuits in an aluminum box!

I gave up smores for dutch oven peach cobbler!!!!! I don't regret it because it was extremely good, but I live for smores and I didn't even make one!!!! *sigh*

For the first time ever I almost pulled an all nighter! I fell asleep about two hours before we had to wake up to go, and even then I was the first one awake and ready to hike. (I was awake because I had to go to the restroom, again...)

While sitting around the campfire I told stories about using a Port-A-Pot at an Indian Festival.....*shudder* I don't recommend the experience.

I ran to the Port-A Potty a couple dozen times throughout the night/morning. As I was running (for the fifth or so time) I didn't see the support string sticking out at least three feet away from another tent, I crashed into so hard that I was sent flying back in shock. I could hardly hold it in so I quickly got up on my feet and asked,"Was that a booby trap, or what? *saying back and forth* I mean Sorry, I'm so sorry....." *running away as fast as I can* Then I had to pee in the dark because the girl with the flashlight couldn't catch up in enough time. That's when I found out that it was super warm in the Port-A Potty so I spent a little more time then necessary in that tight little space; just trying to warm myself before having to go back into the cold and hold the flashlight for the other girl.........

*To wrap this all up I had an amazing time, I got to know some of the girls that I don't know so well, and I learned a lot of new things!*

    That's a crack up! I try to pee and get out of those stinkin' Port-A-Potty things as fast as I possibly can! :D

    It wasn't that bad. It was actaully one of the nicest Pot-A-Potty's that I've ever had the pleasure of using!

    I loved our camps. We called our port-o-pottys "BIFFY"s because it stood for Bathroom In Forest For You :)
    I LOVE cobbler, and although I love smores, too, cobbler is so great when you're camping...mmm...I want some right now :)

SPRING BREAK!!!!

Words cannot express how much love I feel for Spring Break right now. This picture pretty much sums up how I felt when I got out of school last Friday! It has been a crazy busy semester, so this week without having to worry about assignments and projects has been absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, it's now Thursday and it is almost time to dive back into reality! :( Alright so here are five things that I love at the moment: 1. Sherlock Holmes on BBC!! Even when I am super busy I make time to watch this show! :) It has hilarious dialogue, plus it doesn't hurt that Sherlock is super cute! And the best part of this show is that the next episode for season two is going to air on my birthday!!!! To say that I am excited is a complete understatement! 2. Popcorn! The popcorn my mom buys hardly has any calories, it is delicious, and pretty much my favorite food at the moment! 3. The Clockwork Prince! I bought this book the week after it came out, and I fell in love with it. I

New York Story: NYC's Version of The Little Mermaid

New York City in the summer is Satan's literal anus. It smells bad and it's hot as hell. In an effort to help people in the city cool down, the fire department opens up the fire hydrants. Many people use the open water as a splash pad or a car wash. I preferred to close the curtains and lay in front of a fan for hours at a time. But to each their own, right? I lived down the street from the 1 Train at 135th and used that train almost exclusively to get to Amelia and Dillon's house. The 1 train was more reliable than the life ruining M11 bus, even though I liked taking the bus to the West Side way more. Anyway, since I practically lived on their couch on the weekend, the trip from Hamilton Heights to the West Side was familiar.  On this particular occasion, I had dinner plans with Amelia and Dillon and I was already running behind. I decided to walk on the right side of the street so I could pick up dessert at the grocery store before getting on the train. For reference, I N

Thanksgiving Day One!!

Okay, so I have never blogged from my phone before, so this will be interesting! Winter I my favorite time of the year. I love the cold weather, the clothes, the Christmas romantic comedies, and especially the general attitude. I love having an attitude of gratitude. And it seems like during the holiday season other people adopt that point of view as well. One of the most rewarding feelings is when you bring a light into someone's life, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays gives opportunities to do that. For the next five days I will be posting the things I am thankful for!! 5) Over the summer, I decided that I wanted to do a big project for personal progress. I decided on making baby hats for premature babies. Unfortunately, however, I am not crafty, I don't know how to knit, and I fail miserably at every artsy endeavor I have tried. Despite all the things that could go wrong, I bought hat knitting looms. It took a couple of days for me to finally learn how to do
