retreat yo'

OVERVIEW; so yeahh, this week we went to the retreat. & It was really fun! but this year it was during school since the fall break week was booked by somebody else. we all got our own room in the beach house. pd.5 got upstairs (with no electricity) since everyone in our period came to the retreat. pd 3 & pd 1 got the rooms connected to the kitchen. so period 5 had to share my flash light & wait until around midnight for it to finally cool down since we had no fans, it was really hot. & this year Tiana, Cheana, & I brought our snorkel stuff so we got to go out and see the fish in the water, that was pretty cool. Also taylizzle & I brought our Polaroids but her quality was better so we ended up using my film and her camera, but it was still cool I got some good pictures from the field trip. but every day we had to have a few 'sessions' where we work on something were assigned to, such as; session 1, we wrote about our group the positives & negatives of our group. 

HIGHLIGHTS; some highlights of this field trip would probably be that 1; we got to bond with eachother, & learn more about ourselves and eachother which was really nice. 2; that the people who got to come were really nice & I got closer to them which I think was good. and 3; the food Mr.Shin brought was pretty good. Taylor, Tiana, & I ate the left overs the next day, so on Tuesday we ate 4 times, ahaha. LOWLIGHTS; some lowlights would maybe be 1; that the group leaders didn't really get along this year so we didn't really mix with the other periods too much which really sucked. maybe 2; we had to miss school, I had a lot of work to make up because my teachers waited for me to come back to give me all the work I missed, which ughh really sucked I'm still catching up with the work I missed on the 20th-22nd. and the 3rd; maybe that we didn't have any power up stairs so it was really hot in there that was sucky & then there's that we couldn't have our phone so we couldn't take pictures other than with cameras we brought. but over all it was all gee'. 

LESSON; so I learned a lot of things about a lot of people. one thing I learned about my group was; were good at doing what needs to be done while having fun, we finished our sessions on time while being able to joke around & have fun with eachother, not needing to worry about falling behind or not finishing on time. we aight' we aight'. one thing I learned from each of our chaperones was that Shayna; is really nice & is a very good teacher/ leader. she helped us when we needed it, and encouraged us to be good in a nice way, making her a good leader. Laila; is really fun, and likes to watch crabs eat eachother. she's also really nice to everyone & can focus when she needs to but also be fun too. and Jolene; is in advanced placement for school and she gets a lot of homework, she's really nice and fun and very creative by how she did her vocab cards and her memory collage. all of the leaders were nice & fun I'm like really excited to see them again anytime I do. and what I learned about Mr.Ing was that he has a little Niece who loves Elsa from Frozen & can cook food.
