| NECYSC senior camp 2005. jesus i write long entries lol!
soooo senior camp! i was pretty worried actually cause it was just going to be me, lynette, alex, and jay. and all these older kids (14-18). yeah...awkward much? but yeah it ended up being SO much better than junior camp, it freaking rocked. ummm i guess ill copy jay and go day by day. but first an overview--
Maria Hall is actually pretty sweet, alot smaller but better. two floor building, with 2 wings (boys and girls) connected by lounges. downstairs is the main lounge with couches, vending machine, and of course the tv and DDR which was ALWAYS on. then directly upstairs (you could look down from the balcony into the downstairs lounge) was another lounge, but alot more bare with just a tv, a table, and a few couches. still, thats where we mostly hung out cause it was more quiet and stuff. then in the basement was the kitchen (for cooking classes) and then another lounge where the dance was. plus maria hall was RIGHT next to the caf which was convenient.
so basically senior camp = free time. HOURS of it! but 9-11pm rocked ccause then lynette and i could go to the guys' room and like steal their beds and snuggle into their blankets and just listen to music and talk while they sat on chairs hahaha. but anyways - on to the week
Sunday --
so i first saw Vincent, and hes aLOT nicer than last year. although he only hung out with the four of us the first couple days and then split, he cracked me up alot. so ghettolicious baby! anyway, for the rest of the afternoon we played introduction games (circle game, steal the bacon, rip the circle off the other teams' backs....) until 9:00pm where we had class sign up. GOD i hated signing up, cause basically there were 5 counselors spread out among the room with their time slot (choice between 2 or 3 classes) and you just rushed around attempting to get both your ideal class, AND make sure you were with your friends. i was actualyl with friends every single time, and alex was the only one who got screwed, but it was only once! then hanging out in the guys room
Monday--
first day of classes. first class- CIT leadership training. 2 hours and 15 minutes of it. holy fuck. god, it sucked sooo bad and was sooo boring that when mock interviews came, lynette and i snuck away to movie discussion for the end of the movie lol. then lunch, which was an hour and a half so we had loadsa time to go below the caf to the lounge and made a triangle with the couches and just the 4 of us played cards. good times! then we had picture frame making which was us sitting and chatting while glueing mosaic stuff to cheap wooden frames. woot. then pad thai! awesome class, i loved the cooking ones. lemme just say that the pad thai was VUNDAFULL! then chinese dominoes which nobody got, so we gave up after 10 minutes and just played cards lol. that nights event was casino night...i stayed at the bingo table and war table all night. nuff said. oh yeah, my team got 2nd place w/o anyone winning a lottery! woot.
Tuesday--
so at some point today i think, we met eddy! hes one of those relaxed musician cool guys, with like a ben folds t-shirt, FREAKING AWESOME jeans that lynette and i couldnt shut up about they were so cool, and tan flipflops. lol so cool. nobody really knew him in the beginning, he seemed to be another quiet kid and he had his own lil group. but then i think we were walking to lunch and lynettes like 'hey eddy!' and then on a whim im like 'wanna come eat lunch with us?' and yeah great times from there. we sucked eddy into our psychotic little group and hung out for the rest of the week! so yeah, now were a fivesome.
so first class - fengshui. cooky, but i liked the categorize yourself part. dude i am totally fire. dominant (hehe im kinda a control freak sometimes) and passionate (haha im way too emotional for my own good). then chinese art appreciation with phil. we did it for phil. yeah. then after lunch the 5 of us played cards and we realized quiet innocent eddy ISNT SO INNOCENT! he is officially a sneak, the lil cheater. peeking at cards, stealing jays spoon (leading to jay freaking out worryign that alex would kill him haha), haha he cracked me up. then pool games, we didnt swim but just hung out playing cards and ipod speakers...i played uno with katharine cuti and ppl for a while, shes super nice and a halfie (half chiense half american) like me so she rocks in my book. then dumplings, frekaing awesome class. OMG OMG OMG one of the funniest things of the week - so jay asks the chiense teacher where the rolling pin but cant figure out how to say it in chiense so says something like 'ni you yi ge ....roh - leeng - pin?' in the greatest chinese accent in the world. haha we joked for so long in that stereotypical accent 'ho-lee-fuck! tow-ch foo-boll! '(touch football) haha, then dough figure dough, we added color to dough and stained our hands. yup. that night was spoken word poetry night - like an english class but worse. blahhhhh. but then she performed some pretty deep stuff only she sorta mumbled but thats okay.
Wednesday--
taiwan: independnt country or renegade province? yeah so that was boring. but my dad had given me a summary before i came to camp so i actualyl knew what she was talking about and asked a few questions even as lynette and alex were curled up and sleeping around me lol. then chinese dough figures, i made a demented bird and flower. yep. then wet n wild afternoon! watergun-hit-the-alkaseltzer-tablet-on-your-wrist, steal the bacon and civil war....then just alot of water ballooon fights, dumping water on ppl, slip n slide, and ****me and lynette sitting in a kiddie pool!!! MUAH girl, good times*** and jousting! so jousting is where theres like a giant kidde pool with a plank across the top, two ppl get up with helmets and giant q-tips (poles with big wads of pads at the ends) and whack eachother till one falls into the water. good times good times. oh yeah, and the discovery of alexs major sock tan lol. then that night was movie night - going to the theater place in pjs and with pillows (stealing eddys squishy pillows! thanks dude) and watching kung fu hustle. wow what a stupid but amusing movie.
Thursday--
social life discussion! 25 kids in a circle talking about dating, asking best friends out, love triangles embarrassing stories....prob one of the best classes! so much fun! then weekbook, as alex, jay, eddy, gordon and mike played poker, lynette and i actually were making pages lol. then pool games - more chilling out. i found justins ipod and absolutely loveddddd the music on it!!! oh eddys had good stuff too. great stuff among the two- death cab, ben folds five, rooney, the shins, bright eyes, postal service, arcade fire, the strokes, gorillaz, jack johnson, RHCP, offspring, radiohead, something corporate, weezer...yep. anyways, then california rolls! so much fun! and then jewelry making, doing those tedious bracelets. still it was fun chatting. then talent show! SO good. kid was sick at the chinese yoyo, ppl sang, kareoke, kungfu, piano, did gymnastics, hiphop, breakdancing, and then the DDR showdown. omgomg then the funniest night - plucking jays eyebrows! so gordon had him pinned to the bed and lynette and i attacked him with our tweezers and eddy and alex watched lol. poor guy, but he looked so much better! oh yeah and we attempted to straighten his curly carpet hair but it didnt work lol.
Friday--
more weekbook, then whole camp discussion which was the 50 of us just giving feedbaack on how much the week rocked. then interior design which was us napping and we all wished we had made it into the massage class! then jewelry making (i made a bangle coil thing, and earrings! yay!) and pilates, but alex and i got out of pilates to do more jewelery lol. then that night was the dance! it began with lynette and i waiting all dolled up for the guys to come to the upstairs lounge. then one by one we played god and fixed the guys images...only eddy and gordon were perfect, eddy in his oh so hott striped shirt and his yummy cologne, and gordon in his polo! but then we unbuttoned alex's collared shirt and put a tshirt underneath it, rolled up jay's sleeves and fixed the buttons...so anyway the dance was pretty good, sucked in the beginning cause nobody danced but then everyone got into it and it got better. haha lotsa grinding - JAY YOU PIMP! dont think i saw you with all those girls, and then that little grinding orgy! jay i was so proud of you hahaha. there was a bizarre little thing where i learned about a love triangle with two of our guy friends and lynette in the middle, but we got past that. then the second to last song was the entire 50 kids of the seniro camp in a circle, arms around each other swaying to Your Song by Elton John and andy and anne danced in the middle! SO CUTE! but the very last song was soooo nice, lynette and i were so sad about leaving that we just had this giant hug, we were like half-crying. but then after like a minute of hugging, all the guys felt awkward so just joined in haha. so it was me and lynette hugging, surrounded by alex, jay, eddy, gordon, and bryan (?) hugging us in this giant hug-fest that was swaying to the music. SO CUTE! lol me and lynette surrounded by all our guys. tee hee we felt so loved. but then....THE LOCK IN! so basically its 50 kids and 4 RAs with their blankets and pillows in the lounge...a giant sleepover! so me, lynette, eddy, jay, alex, and gordon (who by the end of the week had joined our group as well. odd because in junior camp he and mike were the older guys, and mike was the more friendly one, but in senior camp, gordon hung out with us alot and that was fun) found our own little corner and had a circle with our blankets and stuff. so time went by eating cookies, signing weekbooks, justin was playing guitar AND harmonica at the same time on one side of the room, an ipod was playing deathcab, and a couple movies were shown. SUCH a fun time, my second all nighter! lol but then in the morning at like 6 ppl were like 'okay we did it, now lets go to bed' PFFT! jay eddy and gordon conked out but me alex and lynette packed, went to breakfast, and then sat in the lounge bored as hell cause everone was asleep. so over the next 5 hours ppl slowly emerged, we talked, we napped, we signed yearbooks and we played poker. a bizarre morning, and it was so sad saying goodbye to everyone! hugs all around, it was so sadddd. at junior camp ppl said goodbye but the 4 of us were like CYA NEXT WEEK!
oh almost everyone in our lil group won a superlative thingy. lynette won most oblivious and tardiest hahaha (sorry girl that was all my fault for puttin you down then having everyone copy it), alex and jay getting best room, alex getting best sock tan, eddy getting best smile, and me getting most clumsy lol!
yeah so first time i wrote this i forgot all about the spoon game - so it was like assassins but you could only kill someone by whacking em with your spoon, and someone could onyl be killed if the head of their spoon was covered (by their hand, or clothing, etc) or if they werent holding their spoon. the game went from wednesday on...yeah so guess who i got? my roomie lynette! it was SO sad, cause on the way back to the dorm, lynette was like 'so the only people i can really trust are you of course, and alex and jay' and i was like '...yup' and she kept on asking me who i had, and i was like' for the first time in these games, im gonna try not to tell anybody!!!' and she was like 'um ok..' ahhh it was horrible lying. and then we got back to our room and lynettes like 'i dont need to bring my spoon to the bathroom right?' and i said 'eh dont worry about, im not bringing mine'. so i brace myself for evilness, and ask her to come over to 'look if this lipgloss is broken' haha, im so not creative when im thinking on the spot. and so she comes over, and i say, 'im so sorry lynette!!!' and i whack her over the spoon. it was so sad lol. oh and then i stayed alive another day until the psychotic serial killer terry killed me! ugh it was on the way to wet and wild and i just had my towel over my arm like any normal person and i happened to cover my spoon. lol i was so bummed...but i got over it cause all my friends were dead lol.
so yeah, senior camp kicked a ridiculous amount of ass. i cant put in all the hours in our couch triangle, me, jay, alex, lynette and eddy playing cards and having so much fun...eddy and jay combining forces to cheat all the time. i would get totally hyper then crash: jay (?) is poking me and im like lying upside down and say drunkenly 'IM NOT A MONKEY!' haha, it made sense to me...monkeys are in cages, lil kids poke them...no? lol anyway having powwows by the bar and asking deep questions. eddy putting on my girly hoodie. twirling around the room with lynette. alex singing NONSTOP throughout the week. lol me always doing the laguna beach line, cracking alex up 'i love my hair!' *swishes hair back and forth, acting all vain*, eddys infamous sad face with the tear, gordon putting ppl in awkward situations lol, alex being such a girly guy - my brother! but dude you always hogged the ipod speakers...even though they were yours. bryan (the RA) coming into alex and jays room as well and listening to music with us... AHHHH senior camp was so much fun! but this has been an insanely long entry so id better stop. great times lynette, alex, eddy, jay, gordon! ill cya next year its gonna rockkkk.
P.S. lynette...roomies forever! love ya SOOO much, im missing you so much already! |
