this thanksgiving, i worked, ate turkey at my aunt's house, and then i finally watched Transformers. OPTIMUS PRIME!!! i am your biggest fan!

i am thankful for

family, friends, life, health, water, and lastly, mr. bay and mr. speilberg for creating such a kickass movie.

i got back from camp on saturday. gahh i miss everyone already! unicorps consisted of miimii, goodie, kenoaky, nina, llama, jojo, junjun, majer, thunderfoot (my bro), spork, wombat, volcom kid, and the counselors: fizzles, zippy, fenix, and sky. it was a little different this summer because sky became a counselor and my brother came to the same session. our service learning this summer was to build new "elements" or low ropes courses at the camp. we completely finished one (yay!) and finished building the second one. finishing the first element, which was like a balance beam thing in the ground, took a long time and it was definetly a great accomplishment. we tried other ones that other unicorps had built and they were really really fun! they were all teamwork challanges.

teh second element we finished building only, was like a giant seasaw where someone's whole team had to stand on it and balance each other out, i think. at camp i also conquered the gigantic alpine tower, considered a high ropes course.

in this element, there was a giant black tube with a whole bunch of holes. there's a ping pong ball trapped inside, and we have to use water to fill up the tube so we can retrieve the ping pong ball, but we need to use our fingers to cover the holes or else we'd get wet.

i didnt think id reach the top, but i did. it was scary. after that, one of the L-ship, Mojo, started calling me spider twig, and chanted "spider twig, spider twig, does whatever a spider twig does." LOL. i also did polar bear swim for the second time, waking up at 6am when the weather is colder than at night and jumping into the even colder swimming pool. i was sad that only kenoaky, our counselor fizzles, and i were the only unicorps members buff enough to do it. lol. nina came to support us! lol. yay! i also mastered  making warm fuzzies, yarn necklaces. my favorite part of the week was just meeting a whole bunch of cool kids, great counselors, and bonding with unicorps.  i cant wait to go BOWLING with them, then TARGET with the girls!

have fun at SF, kailin!

have fun at boston, michelle!
