UCLA UniCamp & Sick

I got back from the UCLA UniCamp yesterday and it was soooo awesome! Unfortunately, I am sick. =.="

This morning I woke up at 9am with a sore throat. I was sweating like crazy and feeling cold. I took a hot shower and I felt much much better. Then I went back to sleep around 10am. I slept for 3 hours which means I woke up at 1pm. I ate a little bit, then I went back to sleep around 2pm. I was half asleep for about 2hours. I just stayed in bed. Then around 5pm I fell asleep again. I woke up at 6pm and my stomach was really hurting. gosh. I tried to eat, but I didn't really have an appetite. I took a tiny bite of rice and I felt nauseated. After that I took another hot shower. And then just sat in my room with a heat pad for like an hour plus till it was 8pm.

I felt really sleepy but I couldn't fall asleep because I had already slept so much. But just resting made me feel a whole lot better.

I'm glad I didn't get sick when I was at camp. hehe. =D Speaking of camp, I think I'll just blog about my first day there.

I got to school around 9:45am and left at 10am. There were only 10 students from Lincoln that went. So everyone had their own seat. The ride was pretty smooth until we got to the foothill of the mountain. The bus over-heated and broke down, luckily there was another bus behind us. That bus had the San Pedro students if I am not mistaken.

There weren't a lot of students on that bus either and everyone still had a whole seat to themselves. When we were halfway up that bus broke down too! LOL We had to stop and wait for about 30mins for the bus to cool down. After that, I fell asleep for about 20mins. When I woke up we had just arrived at the camp site.

We got off and put our luggage in a pile and a bunch of counselors started talking to me and my friends. They were like, you have to choose a "camp name." I was like, "What?" They told me that everyone would have a camp name while they were at UniCamp. We were not suppose to use our real names or call other by their real names. Or else we would have to kiss a tree!!!!!! This is a whole new level of loving trees.

It was about 3ish ,by the way, and 4 other school arrived between 3-4pm. When everyone had arrived, we were taken to the camp fire site and separated into our "units." I was in Unit 5 and had 4 roommates and 3 counselors. We had awesome camp names - Moon, Rogue, Dangerous Tiger (DT), Thyme. My counselors were - Mommy, Lemur and Sunshine.

We got our stuff and then moved into our "cabin." It wasn't really a cabin. It looked like a "house" on stilts from the outside. The inside was basically 5 bunkbeds. It's actually part of the cabin. It even has a tiny toilet and shower at one end of the cabin. It had no door, the only thing that gave us privacy was a piece of cloth covering the doorway of the toilet and shower. Everything was new too, because new facilities were being added to the camp. Which was really cool.

And even though we had a shower and all, I didnt get to shower for 5 days anyway =.=" They called this the "woodsey challenge", they said if you took a shower, bugs would be more attracted to you. I thought it was the opposite. Weird....

After we had settled in, we had to go for "line-up." Line-up was basically like a roll call. It was their way of making sure everyone was still in the campsite. No one dragged away and eaten my bears or mountain lions and stuff like that. We were given an orientation and told rules and all those typical stuff. Yup.

By that time, it was time for dinner. We got spaghetti, a piece of garlic bread, milk, 2 pieces of meatballs and umm yeah... I think that was it. Dinner wasn't long it only took about 25mins, after that we had duties. After every meal, each cabin have to do a duty that is assigned to them. Ours happened to be washing dishes that night. The counselors and staff were singing all these camp songs and when they called me out to lead it, I was like, "How does it go again?" LOL And I'd just repeat everything my counselor say and everyone would repeat after me. Haha. It was pretty awkward at first.

One of my favourite songs was the "Late Song." We sing it whenever a unit was late. It goes something like this.

U. G. L. Y. You ain't got no alibi you ugly!!
M.O.M.M.A That's how you got that way your momma!
Yeah yeah, your momma.
D.A.D.D.Y That's another reason why,
Your dadday!!!
Yeah yeah, your dadday~

LOLOLOL. Funny song.

When everyone was done with duties, we all met up in the "lodge." The activity was pretty boring. We were given different "cliques" of people and we were suppose to write it down on this huge piece of paper we were given in 1minute, then switch when time was up. When we were all done we were told to walk around and read the papers. And then we talked about steroetypes. Yup. I had nothing much to say. No one had much to say actually, besides the counselors and staff.

When it FINALLY ended, it was realllyyy dark outside and when I looked up I saw a whole bunch of stars and the moon. It was a cresant that night. I never saw it shine so brightly before. lol. It was beautiful.

We walked back to our cabins and had a debrief. Which was basically going through our day and talking about it. Yup. lol. Of course we brush our teeth, change and all but no shower =.=" Then it was sleepy time!

That concludes Day 1. =D
