Vegas, Baby!

Hellooooooooooo world!

First, I shall tell a bit about my adventures at camp. I don't really know what I expected, but it was much better than that vague idea. I didn't hear a single rude sentence or rumor or whatever. Everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. I just barely arrived to my cabin and made a new friend. And maybe half an hour later (because everyone took a long time to drag their stuff up) I had met everyone in my cabin and we had already started to make up nicknames for each other.

The first day we spent a lot of time decorating our cabin and such. Ours had the most stuff hanging across the walls, which was by three ropes tied on opposite sides of the room. Then a lady came in and asked us all to choose a camp name, all written on little magnets. Names such as "Spice" and "Lollipop" and etc. were part of the pile. I chose "Shanghai" as mine. About half of the time someone called for me that week, it was "Hey Shanghai!" instead of my real name.

I got to do a lot of stuff I had never done before there.
1. Live in a cabin, even though it was for only 4 nights
2. Be away from my family for longer than about 24 hours
3. Make friends so quickly! As my "About Me" part says, I am pretty shy in the real world, but for some reason, it so much easier to talk to people there. There is almost a magical quality about girls camp.
4. Canoe
5. Hear the birthday song sung so many times in one short period of time!
6. Hike up a mountain, even a small one
7. Walk around so often
8. Probably some other thing I can't think of at the moment...

It was even better because of my birthday. I wore this shirt I've had for a few years that screams "BIRTHDAY" all over it so everyone that saw it was congratulating me. Plus, there was a girl, whose camp name was Sharkbait (HOOHAHA) that had the same birthday, but turned 13, not 14. She was kinda pissed that I'm a year older than her. I was surprised that there were two other birthdays during the week too, one on Monday and another on Wednesday, I think.

So, here's where the title makes sense. To be quick, my sister has a really bad back problem, and we are going to visit a chiropractor in Vegas who uses a different method to see is it will help her. We shall be there from tomorrow to Saturday. So I probably won't post until next week. Yup. Bye.
