saturday - silverbay.

hello!
yes, there was wireless at silver bay, and i did have every intention of writing my blog last night, but after we got home from the disco it was 11, and we had to shower etc, and then we had to catch up on vampire diaries.. so i gave it a miss.
this weekend was so much fun!
we got there at around 11pm on friday night, i am quite sure we were the last to arrive, and got our room key and pretty much just went straight up stairs after choosing which classes we wanted to take. and because we were last there, alot of classes were already full and we just had to do whatever was left.
anyway, the room had a single and queen bed in it and a seperate bathroom. woo hoo, no communal showers! so it was like a mini motel room, minus a tv and fridge.
on saturday we had to get up at 7:30.. ugh. and went to breakfast - they had reallllyyyyy good food. there was hot and cold breakfast and a yogurt with granola and fruit station to choose from.
so our first class was games and activities, which was so much fun. they were all guess the rule games. an example is the 'he likes coffee but not tea, what else does the emperor like?' and you had to work out why he liked laying but not sitting, and new york but not connecticut, and vanilla but not chocolate. and the rule is that he doesn't like the letter 't' not the drink... get it?
then we had native american story telling, and we had to amke up a story using symbols and then act it out.
then lunch - chicken enchiladas and rice with salad.
and then th big downer - american politics.. obviously it was the only class in that section left to choose, so we had no other choice. and it went for almost three hours!!!!!
but, i had my amazingly good book, so i read it instead. because believe it or not, american politics is even more sleep-inducingly boring than australian politics.
oh we had free time after that! so we went back to our room to nap for an hour, then had dinner - forget what that was.
hmmm, and after dinner was the drama performance, which was hilarious.. they used au pairs for the actors and they had to do whatever then guy reading the script said.
then we went on a haunted house tour. dear god i swear i was almost crying the whole time.
so its this house right near where we were staying and apparently the husband and wife and their child lived there and they all died in the house which is why their spirits are still there.
i am yet to google it to see if they were bullshitting us or not, but at the time i was shitting myself.
like we were in there and he was telling us what happened and then a fan turned on by itself (probabley had a timer or whatever, but thats besides the point) and there was this creepy shadowy lady like standing around the place and it was pitch black and we were in a group of about 10, and we wouldn't stop screaming and then froze, and the tour guy is like come down here, and we are all like 'NO! come back and take us with you!' haha
so after that awful experience, we had ice cream to calm our nearves - would have been better if they gave us vodka, but ice cream just had to do.
went and got ready for the disco, there were another two red riding hoods! which sucked.. but i liked mine better anyway.
it was really fun, considering it was just girls.
and the dj was good too.
then we went back to the room, i had a cold shower because i couldn't get the hot water to work, watchec vampire diaries and went to bed.
please proceed to the next post :)
