So we stay in cabins. There's a high school boys and a high school girls cabins. That's for 9th-12th graders. There is a middle school boys and a middle school girls cabin for 6th-8th graders. And there is also a junior boys and a junior girls cabin for 4th and 5th graders. I was in the high school girl's cabin. Lemme just tell you that Church Camp is not the place for a sanitary person. The showers are simply repulsive. I had such a good time, don't get me wrong! That is much more important than the quality of toilets or showers. But! Due to the quality of showers I have a wonderful story to share with you. It's the first night of camp. We had just been dismissed to our cabins to settle down for the night. Every night we had cabin talk where a group of girls would get together a lesson with some scriptures and a few songs to share with us before we went to bed. So we were told that we had 20 minutes before cabin talk to take a shower, and then after cabin talk we would have more time to get in the shower if we needed to. The catch is that if you take a shower before cabin talk and you're not finished but the 20 minutes is up, you come out of the shower no matter what. Sorry if that was a confusing mess! Anyways, I hurried up to the cabin to take a shower really quick before cabin talk so I could just get it over with. I turned on the shower and barely any water came out. It was an ever so slight drizzle. I wanted to move but I already had my clothes off and all my stuff was put, so I stayed there planning to deal with the lack of water. Then I had a thought. "Hmmm. I wonder if the shower head is a twisty one that'll change the water pressure if you turn it." Only it was not a twisty one. I twisted, it fell to the ground. At this point water is spraying forcefully in all directions at me. AHHH! I picked up the shower head and tried and tried to put it back on but it wouldn't go. Then I hear, "3 minutes 'till cabin talk!!" Well shoot. I had just put conditioner in my hair and had yet to wash my face or shave or anything! I went on turbo mode to finish, the water still spraying at me! I finished, only not really cause I didn't feel clean at all. I tried to dry off as much as I could but still put on my PJ's while wet. It was an awful mess, but I made it out for cabin talk! Luckily that didn't happen again for the whole camp!
Okay next story. As you know, Lynnlee went with me to camp! That was a blast. We have discovered that Lynnlee is very, very, very clumsy. I don't think I've met a clumsier person, really. I can't believe I hadn't realized this, you know after knowing her for 8 years and all. I could guarantee she fell at least 2-3 times every day at camp. It was very very humorous. Oh, and Lynnlee does not, under any circumstances whatsoever have any luck with bugs of any kind. She must have had a bug experience of some kind every day too. Man, those were really funny too. This particular story has to deal with bugs. There are daddy long leg spiders EVERYWHERE at that camp. Anywhere you look! They're not a pretty sight at all! They're not poisonous but they still freak me out.
Yeah. But they were all over! So it was quiet time. This is basically a time set aside to spend alone time reading your bible or praying, whatever you wanted to do. Keyword here, alone. There was maybe a group of 5 of us or so sitting on a bench just talking about how Bible class had just gone for us. (Lynnlee and I included in that group.) I thought I saw something moving on Lynnlee but I wasn't too sure. I looked again and sure enough, a Daddy Long Leg was crawling about on her chest area near her chin. I very calmly said, "Lynnlee, there's a spider crawling on you near your face." She very uncalmly jumped up and screamed like a banshee. She jumped and squealed but it was still on her! She kept jumping and screaming until she eventually got it off. This is during quiet time! I'm sure that several people wanted to kill us! Later, she got yet ANOTHER Daddy Long Leg thrown at her and it made her jump up and spill her slushie. Man, she had some funny incidents. Well I could ramble on and on, but I may tell more stories later! Oh and sorry I don't have any pictures but I forgot batteries for my camera! :( But I'm glad to be back!
Just Trust Me..
You are too funny! Love the shower head incident!
