UCSB Camp Post 1

OK so I am back. I am pretty happy to be home, but I really miss the camp and all of my friends. It was so pretty there and the weather was perfect!
So when I arrived at the train station, a counselor named Diana picked me up and we went to the airport to pick up another girl. When we got to the dorms, I met my new friends Lindsey and Jesse. It ended up that we were actually rooming with each other. Our room had a little living room with a couch and 2 chairs, it also had 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms. One room had one bed and the others had 3 beds. There was 6 people in our room plus two commuters during the day. In my room was Lindsey, Laniece and I. In the other was Jesse, Michelle and Gabi. The single was empty.
The first night we had a bonfire with lots of fun games and a chance to get to know everyone, The second night was a game night where we played Amazon Girls, Musical Boys and Frisbee Battle thing. It was a lot of fun. The third night was we got to choose if we wanted to go out to town for ice cream, play soccer or just hang out in the rec room. I chose to go get a smoothie and it was really good (it was banana, pineapple and mango) it was also a good deal. The last night we had another bonfire and then we got to stay up late with free time to hang out with each other because it was our last full day together.
I made a lot of new friends and I still plan to keep in touch with them. My new friends are: Lindsey, Jesse, Amanda, Samantha, Laniece, Aushua, Lauren, Crystal, Vanessa and Shaniece. We hung out all the time, but it was usually Lindsey and I. I also loved the counselors and the coaches. They were all so nice and funny. I really liked the campus too. Its really pretty and its right next to the ocean.
The workouts, man those workouts were the hardest I have ever had, but they are worth it. I can already see that I have lost weight and gained some muscle. The only bad thing that happened to me was I got a minor strain in my right calf, but its not that bad. The coach (Coach Kenyon, but we got to call her Coach JK) were really supportive and the counselor (Diana and Jason) were also very supportive and fun. The practices were hard, but also very fun at the same time. I think they were worth the suffering.

So here was our daily schedule:
7:15 am Wake up
7:30-8:00 am Our morning jog
8:00-9:55 am Time to eat breakfast and free time
10:00-12:00 pm Afternoon Practice
12:00-3:00 pm Lunch and Break
3:00-5:00 pm Late practice
5:00-7:00 pm Dinner and free time
7:00-10:00 pm Night activity and free time
10 pm In rooms
10:30 Lights out
11 pm Had to be asleep

That was our main schedule sometimes it was different it just depended on the day.
I will write more about the fun stuff later. Pictures on my Flickr page
