Alright, this week, I went to camp. In Big Bear. Awesome, right? Yeah. I'm now PIT, standing for Pedifile In Training. It's all good! So, the food stunk, yeah, but I liked the overall experience...the trees...the snow...the HEATED BATHROOMS!!! That's my kind of camp! I ate some juniper berries and about the equivalent of 100 oranges' worth of vitamin C...you C...((you like that?))...there's this one pine tree that you can chew on its needles (then spit them out), and one needle provides 4x as much vitamin C as an orange...that's crazy, huh?!!

We also learned some constellations, such as Orion, Big Bear, Little Bear, Taurus, and Leo...sure, I only found Orion's belt, Big Dipper (part of big bear), and Little Dipper (guess what it's part of).

It wasn't my first time in snow, so my class learned I know how to climb in snow and roll in it. Yes, rolling needs skills. I rolled down but stopped just before hitting a piece of wood...that woulda put a gash in my leg...and yes, I saw it, so I'm not JUST lucky.

I got real red because of the snow/sun combo, sure, but the worst part was the dryness. Because of the altitude, you gotta drink a bunch more water than usual because the hight makes your body process it much quicker, and dehydration=bad!
They say about 3x as much as usual, but considering I usually drink about 2 cups in one week, I had about 30x as usual. It wasn't just that, my lips got REAL dry! When I got home today, I put on Banana Split chap stick...yeah, girly, I know, but it was the only stuff I could find...and I felt feminine...lol

I learned so much and gained SOO much wisdom, I feel I could survive out there on my own...and maybe a hot girl...someone in particular, but no names....
