No zip-lining?!? :(

Aggie Camp was fun! Tiring, though. Years of cozy indoors office and apartment living have softened up my body into jello, as some people say.

So I got up from bed at 5:55AM (5 minutes before my alarm clock rung), I comfortably went back to bed knowing that my alarm would get me up soon enough, 5 minutes later it did, I snoozed it, and before it rung again, I'm happy to say I got up and began getting ready.

I took a long time shaving while trying not to wake up the girls in the apartment, then I took a hot shower, we left at around 7:12AM to go to the camp trip meeting place, we got there at around 7:33AM, waited for about 45 minutes, got into a bunch of cars driven by Baptist student volunteers and organizers, I slept most of the way, @ngelic woke me up when we arrived, we went to the bathrooms, I met a girl from Colombia called Jennifer and a guy and a girl from China called Xin and Chao (or something), a park guide gave us a speech about the park activities, prayed, and then let us go and do any activities we wanted to do.

I started with the horse ride. My horse's name was For{1,2}est, and it slowly walked most of the way around the main points of the park. I then started playing frisbee with a couple of guys in the soccer field, then more people joined us until we were about 10 of us in a big circle, then one of the student organizers ruined our cool frisbee circle and rallied everyone into playing kickball (which was cool too). I got to score several runs before I got bored and began to volley a volleyball with a girl called Kim who was volleying by herself not too far away from where I was. A guy and a girl joined us and then Kim went back to kickball, so then there were only three of us playing volleyball. The guy said he was mexican and the girl said she was from Brazil, and when I saw them kissing I inferred they were b/f & g/f.

And then it was 12:30PM and one of the camp persons rang the lunch bell and everyone attended to it. I ate a hamless hamburger with cheese, lettuce, and ketchup, I drank quite a few cups of lemonade and apple juice, and I ate two brownies. Energized with the food, I then walked down to the nearby lake, and saw @ngelic and some other guy throwing tomahawks at two wooden targets. I wanted to stick a tomahawk into the wood, so I got in line, took my turn at throwing, and finally succeeded. Once satisfied with the tomahawks, my attention easily diverted to the other activities. I saw some people canoeing on the lake, so I told Jennifer to accompany me to a boat. So we went down there, got on a paddle boat, and paddled all around the little piece of lake we were allowed to paddle around on. We did the same thing with a canoe afterwards, and I found a dead fish in the water and brought it to shore.

After being done with the lakeside activities, we went up to the "giant swing area", and waited our turn to get on the giant swing. We all tried the giant swing and screamed as we were swung through the trees. We then went to the rifle range, where I shot better than I had expected to, and @ngelic managed to get the best shooting score of the day.

By that time my body felt tired. I slowly walked up back to the main meeting area, I got a few more cups of lemonade and apple juice, exchanged email addresses and phone numbers with a few guys/girls from the camp, posed for a group picture, watched @ngelic get called first prize on the shooting contest, got back on the car to go back, and fell asleep again. I woke back up at an ice cream store called Dairy Queen mid-way, in a town called Madisonville. I bought a plain ice cream cone and @ngelic bought nothing. We then got back on the car, I fell asleep again, was woken up when we were nearly there, walked with @ngelic to the car, found a Little Caesar's pizza on the way back to her apartment, bought a special circa-$9 special for a hot'n ready pizza, a 2L soda, and some crazy bread, drove back to her apartment, ate the pizza and crazy bread, drank the soda, worked on her homework involving transcribing a program she had in Matlab to a program in C, managed to get the program working, ran out of ideas for socially polite and platonic activities to do, and then we said good night and I haven't seen her since.

I should be asleep now - it's 1:33AM and I'm driving early tomorrow morning back to Austin. I think coffee will be my ally in the morning.

Yeah, yeah, entry's dull and boring. But I don't care too much :D. Night!

P.S: Oh yeah, and the zip-lining activity was closed :(.
