I learnt that I hate canoeing. I am now home after being away for one night and here are the things I learnt: 1) See title. 2) I will either die in a freak canoe accident or in a freak flash flood while hiking in the rain. (More about that later.) 3) Candy is good. 4) Ice caps from Tim Hortons are my friend. (As with the last time I went away, me and my friends brought ice caps.) 5) Preps think it's cool to get drunk for the first time while away for one night with teachers 100m away. 6) It's fun to fit 6 people in an alleged 6 man tent when really it's not. About the rain. Last time we went away it rained and this time it rained. I hate rain. We had to go on a 2 hour hike and just as we left it started to rain. The people in my class are destined to go away and have to hike in the rain. While on the hike in the rain I managed to fall a total of 3 times, once on an old bridge that was rotten and wet so I slipped and twisted awkwardly and then twice when we got to the rocks surrounding the waterfalls we hiked to cause the rocks were wet. And as for the preps getting drunk, it was so obvious. Everybody knew that some of them brought Vodka and I'm bet the teachers know something was going on. All I had was a bit of Whisky that my friend brought to warm her up. I had like one sip so there was no way I could even get a bit tipsy. It was so funny though. The people whose tent I was in must have gotten about 2 hours sleep. We talked all night and one of my friends James, slept in his boxers so we called him 3/4 naked boy. You had to be there to get the humor of it but it was funny because here we were in a soaking wet tent (nothing was dry, sleeping bags, everything) yelling, "3/4 naked boy, shut up." Anyways, thought I'd update you on my time away as there is nothing else to do. (Yay, Halloween is in 2 days. Free candy!!!)
