senior year started out like all the rest of my years at Grove, say hi to the friends you have seen over the summer and the ones you haven't seen over summer, it is nothing special because you have known these people for forever, some for seven years some for fifteen years.
the first days are run-through's for our classes, then its campus beautification( :( boring and hott ) then the all-school-camp out, for the last two years we have gone to camp wolf bear, and at the end of every camp out we have to do a camp reflection, well a girl at my school said "i didn't like it up their, next year lets go to silver wood lake" so we did. and guess who didn't even go on the camp trip?!?!?!?! HER!!!!
the teachers take us camping because they want us to bond, but the reason we bond so much up their is because we complain about the camp out.
so anyways, as you know i was on the cleans diet of eating only God made foods, so i was feeling great, i had so much energy, it was amazing i felt five years old again! so we went on a hike one day, we got lost (which seems to be a tradition on Grove camp trips) it was long, we went to the lake. it was soooooooooooooo gross! their was so much muck i could have probably walked on top of it like fricken Jesus haha, it smelt like a port-a-potty.
the second day, we went for a hike, the school went in three groups, slow, medium, fast. i left in the slow, our group left first then five minutes later the medium group left, the fifteen minutes later the fast group left, so we would all end up in the same place at the same time. so i was feeling great in the slow group, it was a hot hot day so i was determined to reach our destination, i was far ahead of everyone in my group. we were a little over half way their when my legs started to feel a tad "noodley" my head felt like some one had slapped me with a brick, i felt so cold on the inside of my body, and so hot on the outside. i continues drinking water but it was so hot outside that my watter was too, it tasted boiled. i told my friend Jamie how i was feeling, she said it sounded like i was dehydrated, then, my body gave up. i collapsed i sat on a dirt hill under a tree, soon my closest friends surrounded me giving me water, my art teacher wet a cloth and started to cool me down it was weird but hey it started to work. she told me i was suffering form heat stroke, and that my blood sugar was probably low, i needed salt. but i was on my diet, and i couldn't eat that! Mariah handed me a dorrito to eat but their was no way i was going back to say one, no way. they continued to say "you need this Ashleigh, your body is shutting down on you". after a while i began to feel much better, i did need salt, so i licked the dorrito. my English teacher said i needed electrolytes and he bought me a yellow power aid and i drank half, my friends drank the other half. the camp trip... one through ten... it gets a five.
so then the next week i drive to school, park out front by the sidewalk right next to the street, i'm begin climbing out if the car when all of a sudden some thing from my car (jayjay) sprays me in the face. it burns my eyes, my skin is on fire and my throat as well. i step out of the car and pinned my self up agents jayjay so i don't wander in to the street and get hit by a car and die. i cover my face with one hand, with the other i feel my way around the back of the car i trip over the curb and fall on my back,i scream out the f-bomb as i crash to the floor, people from my school are still getting dropped off so some people probably saw we writhing in pain on the side walk. as i am laying their, i think about what my car could have possibly sprayed me with, then it clicks that i had a can of pepper spray on my keys, which the safety cone undone sometimes i must have pressed on the nob while getting out of the car. just then i hear someone say "hi Ashleigh." i wanted that person to help, but i also did not want that person to help. i turned to the voice, my sight regained and i turn to see Lauren Eis sitting crossed legged on the sidewalk next to me, "are you okay?" she asked probably thinking i was upset about something rather than have a face full of mace. it hurt to speak but somehow i managed to say "pepper... spray... me... i...its in my mouth, and my eyes!" she said "oh God, should i take you up to the school?" i asked her to take me to my moms work. i walked through the door i tried to speak but i couldn't, my mom rushed out, i made it clear that i was not in a car accident (her mind always links to car accident first, pepper sprayed in the face probably would have not been her next thought) i told her what happened, she rushed me over to the sink and started to wash out my eyes, all of her co-workers began to help, one of her friends looked up how to treat it, and it said not to flush it out with water but milk and water mixed so we did that, but every thing else still burned, so i went home for the day. but boy oh boy my friends are still making fun of me for that.
in other news Thursday night i saw my favorite band Muse, it was so fricken amazing i'm soooo glad i went
ill never forget it, i hope to go again! oh and my camera finally got fixed and came the night before the concert so i got to take pics! to any one who does not know Muse, look them up, listen and have your mind blown. for those of you who do know Muse but only know them because they love twilight, and Stephenie Meyer said she loved them so you looked them up and all-of-a-sudden you love them too, shame on you! or you found out about them from the latest guitar hero, shame shame shame! for those of you who do know them, and like them, buy a ticket and go to the show what is a few dollars to a long lasting mind blowing experience/ memory? hit me up and maybe we can go together ;) haha
