Back!
So I got back last Saturday. The week was pretty fun here's how it went down. I was a fifth year so we spent one night at camp and then the next day we left and went white river rafting in auburn, it was so awesome! I'm so in love with that now. Then we drove back to a member's cabin on Donner Lake. Their backyard was the lake so that was cooooool. The next day we went inner tubing down the Truckee River. Me and two other girls got separated from the rest of the girls cuz we were going really slow. And towards the end there were these rapids. And my tube got flipped over and I died. I was so scared! But luckily there was a raft that came a little after and tried to save me. Their first attempt to get me up onto their raft didn't work, so I held on to the front of their raft, but then BIG rocks started hitting my back. :( And it really hurt. They finally got be up and I just remember breathing so hard and then I started crying. I couldn't control my emotions, which kinda sucked. I'm okay now, but I have a boo boo on my back and my back is bruised. I have a lot of scrapes and bruises on my legs. Oy, I was blessed though. The next day we went to a beach in Tahoe and none of the girls, including me, wanted to go back to camp. But we did, kicking and screaming. Not literally :D But during the remainder we just chilled. We finished our service project, which was painting boxes for orphan kids in China. I felt I had a connection with them, since I'm Chinese. And on my last box I wrote, Wo ai ni in Chinese and the camp director saw and asked if I would write them in all the boxes. So I did and I felt great :) Okay the end.
