Upward Bound this year was quite...interesting. That's probably the best and most accurate way to describe it. Well...onto the memories I susppose.
Let's see....let's start with week one at LEC. I bunked with a bunch of people I like, and Bailey and I shared a bunk bed so that sweet. Speaking of sharing a bunk bed, I woke up one morning to find that Bailey STOLE MY PILLOW!!! Sometime in the middle of the night!! I woke up that morning and was changing to go for a run before everyone got up when I noticed that she was cuddling it! CUDDLING!! So we were "fighting" about it later in the main/food lodge during free time, and Tyson comes up (I'll talk about him later). He asked what we were talking about and I told him that he had stole my pillow. His response? "I snuck into your room last night, stole your pillow and gave it to her." Bailey and I looked at each other, made an omg-that-is-so-creepy-face and burst out laughing. Tyson looked confused.
At LEC we took science classes and since I'm a raising junior I was in the chemistry class. Which wasn't much of a chemistry class, our teacher didn't much about chemistry but we did have a lot of discussions. One day we were having a discussion on the affects of pollution and he asked what would happen if a lake was polluted. I was all like "Well the fish would die, and predators such as bears and hawks would die off because they'd have less food...." and yadda, yadda, yadda about food chains, and death. This kid Wyatt was such an idiot I wanted to punch him in the face. All he cared about was the fact that there wouldn't be fish to fish. I looked at him, really looked at him and tried to get across that other animals would die due to loss of food. All he cared about was that he wouldn't be able to fish, and wouldn't believe me when I said bears and hawks ate fish. Apparently because he never saw them eat one, it'snot true. I honestly hated for being so dense. I just wanted to slap him upside the head, but instead I just pressed my lips into a line and shook my head. On the last day we were doing some strange version of a fishbowl discussion. By the end if class we had become pessimistic, anarchist, anti-humanity, communistic, anti-chicken nuggets, ect. It was a lot of fun, and we had some great and some random discussions.
We had a lot of fun at LEC, many great memories had. O! Like when Bailey and I were listening to a song before dinner and Tyson wanted to know what we were listening to. Well...we were listening to the acoustic version of Get Low covered by Dan Henig...He came up just as "Can I play with your panty line?!" Played....We decided it wasn't the song for him to listen to, but every time that line played for the rest of the week we laughed and looked his way. That is our favorite song. Bailey and I burst out singing it everywhere whenever we are together. Seriously, we have that song like memorized. We actually sang that song today. Multiple times. We should really stop. Some of the places we have sung haven't been quite appropriate....
Bailey and I spent most of our time together and had a lot of laughs. Every night we could be found in the sauna, and yes, there were lots of boys in there with us. What can we say? We're terrible. We had a lot of fun in there. Don't worry! It was all PG, well not what was coming out of people's mouths! The things said in there! Lol. At least this year the guys didn't decide to turn popular movie titles into porn movie titles. Titanic took on a whole new meaning. We nearly died though! One the guys thought he'd be funny and dumped the entire bucket of water on the coals! Three times in a row!!! He'd dump it, run down to the lake, fill it, and dump again. The air was so thick we were literally breathing in pure water. Everyone except a couple of guys left, no fled, the sauna. I forced myself to stay just to prove that girls are tough too. When I finally did leave I ran to and jumped into the lake. There was a slight problem though...I was wearing the red strapless bikini and upon diving lost it....Thankfully no one was watching and I was able to save my chest, and their eyes from the glaring whiteness that is my chest. As I got out I was totally checked out! Hehehe, a guy checked me out!! I nearly died. No one checks me out. Well until this summer...but more on that later.
We had a lot of fun playing capture the flag too. That is the game of tennagers. No one ever won though. It would wind up being just hours of recon, stealth, invasion and attack. Followed by, defense, retreat and occasionally jail. It was fun. At one point myself and two other teammates found out where their flag was. They were the distraction as I slowly crawled through the woods. No joke, I crawled, and just as I was about to grab the flag Angie whistled and Will made me. The best part of the game was when this girl from my team grabbed the flag and to avoid being tagged dove fully clothed into the lake and swam for it. She was tagged getting out. Then Tyson decided to cheat and laid on the flag! I mean, come one man! It was still a good game though.
I also learned how to rainbow a soccer ball. Bailey, Kole and I were kicking around a soccer ball. I suck at soccer, and aiming, and would repeatedly over shoot the ball. The ball was flying everywhere, and that includes interrupting Mika (sp?) and Tyson hitting a volleyball back and forth. Pretty soon it was just me kicking a ball around and Mika ditched Tyson. Turns out he played soccer and showed me how to rainbow. I've spent hours practicing and still can't get it right. I can get the needed air, but instead of arching over my head it arches the opposite direction. This is something I must get! I can't stand not being able to do it!
Bailey and I also become closer to Nick. Nick has a very bright future ahead of him, and I hope he one day runs this country. Seriously, he would be perfect. We would have a wonderful country. He doesn't take crap from anyone, he doesn't deal with stupidity, he's so smart. Oh wow...just an FYI I'm not into him. Not like the way I realized it's starting to sound. I should just stop going on about him.
Those few memories don't even begin to really capture what really happened at LEC. I don't know. It's hard to capture that week on paper. Er, computer? Either way, it was a good week, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
