So yeah....today was the memorial day, and it was....a new experience...
I fainted for the first time in my entire life. All i remember is ending "You're a Grand old Flag," and my music started getting a brownish color, then the world got consumed by a big black blob. I do remeber telling Jackie, but i don't think she heard me, and i wasn't acting on it too seriously, because it had happened earlier and passed away....unfortunately i didn't have that luck this time. I completely blacked out, then i remember stumbling, then i saw Jackie and Lauren. and i heard Beckie behind me. Then it was off to the ambulance, where i just wanted to sit on the end of the truck, but they made me get inside, and it was air conditioned. It was AWESOME! They didn't give me any water, but the AC cooled me off, and they took my blood pressure and sugar. then they asked me questions, and sent me on my merry way! I didn't get to play anymore, but that's okay. Thankyou to all who helped me and showed concern for me, at school and home! I'll try not to faint next year!
Audrey and Elizabeth spent the night last night and we watched "Memoirs of a GEisha." we found that it is a REALLY slow movie. It was alright, but as usual, i fell asleep. We had fun though, and we went swimming in the blue-green ice cube. (Oh yeah and when i got home, beckie gave me an impression of my fall, i felt stupid :) )
I finished all my homeowrk, finally. My project took me FOREVER! From 10:00 am to 5:30 p.m, and there was still proofreading to be done on sunday ( of course there were some breaks in between).
Well, im tired and i have nothing left to type, so I'll leave ya!

I;m sorry, i haven't posted in a LONG time.
So, I'll start out with the work weekend.
The work weekend was AWESOME!!!!I didn't want to stop working! We started out moving malch for a path that nobody walks on (oh well). Then we went and spray painted. We help bring things out from the back of the camp that we used to help with scaffolding (sp?) . Then our group (mainly Ty, Kristen, Brittany, and me, but with a few drifters) split up and Kristen and I paved cement. Brittany and Ty went to help clean sailboats, but Brittany didn't want to do that anymore so we switched jobs. When i got to the sailboats, i was working with Ty, Beckie, Rachel, and Bethany, but we were with some other staff members and their family. I think the sailboats were the most fun part! But I can say that I did 3 things that i had never done before at the Camp Patmos work weekend:
1. Spray Painted
2. Used cemeny
3. Laid on the bottom of a sailboat
This week, I went to Washingotn D.C. It was AWESOME! It wasn't boring at all (except the Baltimore Cruise and Museum of Natural History). We had a lot of fun, and i actually learned a lot and had fun learning it and seeing all the memorials. We got to see the ceremony for switching the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldier. It was amazin. Repetitive, but AMAZING! Following that was a wreath-laying ceremony and Kassie got to be in it! We had some strange conversations at the hotel and some slaphappiness, but it was a lot of fun! If you ever get the chance to go to Washington D.C., I have one piece of advice for you.....GO!!!!
