So it’s in MY perspective first (unless anyone else wants to add anything).

I woke up at 7 AM…tired. I planned to wear my p.e. shorts, and so I did, but it was friggin cold! So on the way to school, my dad reminded me not to go into the water in a serious tone. He also told me to wear long pants, but I refused.

So I got to school 10 min. to 8 AM, and I was the second student there! So I just stood and waited. Then about 15 min. later, people started coming. So once everyone was here, we all got into our carpool rides. It was me, Wetsponge, and Sushiroll in Celerydip’s car. On the way there, we just talked about random things like music, parents, etc. We were also pestering Celerydip about what happened on Friday, but she couldn’t say anything at that time.

When we finally got to the beach, we took our stuff then started walking to the place where we were going to eat (like home base), but we were told to head back and put unnecessary stuff back and get the cleaning gloves and bags so we can start cleaning. When we headed back, Celerydip ran down a hill of sand and somehow lost Sushiroll’s sandals on the way. It was like it had been sucked into the sand or something. Really weird. So everyone gathered around the hill and started digging, but only one of the pair was found. Then Ms. Dempsey recited the cleaning rules:

• Don’t leave even more mess behind.
• Don’t touch dead animals.
• Don’t touch gross, unsanitary things.
• Don’t pick up surfers’ clothing.

So we took off and started cleaning, which I won’t go into detail about. We kept seeing dead birds though, like 6-7 in all. Other people saw a manta ray. We filled two bags of trash up, which was good. Then we ate. Had to cook hot dogs over the fire. Also had eggrolls. Then we went to the beach. Of course, I was told not to go into the water, so I just stood by the shore, with water up to my knees at times. The others went into the water (lucky). After that, we buried people in the sand. We dug a deep hole, and buried Wetsponge in it, so that she was the same height (actually shorter) as us. It was uncanny. We also did it for Sushiroll, too. Then at 2 PM, it was time to go.

On the way back, we stopped to get milkshakes (funny thing: me, Wetsponge, and Sushiroll all got different flavors. Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate). We just sat in the car playing “would you rather”. Then we dropped Sushiroll off and picked up Littlefluteplayer. So, back to my house for cram session.

The first subject went well: History. I got most of the questions right. We tried different methods, like writing it on the board, answering on your paper, or just saying out the answers. The latter was the best method. Celerydip was asking the questions (but most were irrelevant) so I asked some from the review packet. Then, we did Science, where Littlefluteplayer asked the questions, because it seemed like he was the best in science. (Geez! He memorizes things like nothing! I’m still dumbfounded from the blood circulation diagram thing). That was a bit easier, except for things from first semester. After that, I think I brought up P.E., so Celerydip said “Everyone do 5 push-ups” so we told her to do them first, so she did. Then, when she was finished, Littlefluteplayer and Wetsponge said, “I’m not doing it” and I said “you can’t tell me what to do in my own house.” so we left it at that. Haha. Then we did English, which no one was good at! No one remembered the specific types of clauses and adverbs and all of that stuff! That’s when we started to suffer…so we switched it to Geometry/Algebra. Celerydip kinda gave Littlefluteplayer his own Algebra questions which he did by himself. The rest of us just asked random Geometry questions that weren’t in depth.

After all of that studying, we went out to play with the dogs (besides Celerydip). Then, the three of them went to get food, while I stayed home and fixed my whiteboard which got broken. When they got back, we ate (though the portions were too small). Then someone had the brilliant idea of playing charades. So we split into teams: Celerydip-Wetsponge and Shinychopstick-Littlefluteplayer. The other team went first, but with much confusion. Celerydip was acting out “pitcher” while Wetsponge was pretending to take “pictures”. So Celerydip was like “what the hell?”…and so were we. Haha, so they did it again. Me and Littlefluteplayer had trouble thinking of what to act out. One was eagle (which Littlefluteplayer acted out hilariously) and the other was a chicken with the head chopped off. Then everyone went home, though Celerydip was last.

I slept for 12 hours at night! So tiring!
