Ohhhhh The Great Outdoors

So, this is a little late, but here's what I learned on our awesome camping trip to Assateague this past weekend:
  • Girl Scouts choose the worst possible times to sing (god I hope I wasn't like that...)
  • Open beaches are a great place to toss old fish hooks.
  • Assateague ponys are short and fat and like to scratch their noses on grills and tents.
  • I would make a great dad; I can grill a kick-ass burger while holding a solo cup (filled with SODA) in one hand.
  • I never want to eat another hamburger.
  • The number they tell you can fit in a tent is actually the number of Girl/Boy Scouts that will fit.
  • Van benches are super comfy for sleeping.
  • What a mountian pie is.
  • How awesome night vision googles are (FREAKING SWEET)
  • The various uses for an E-Tool (also FREAKING SWEET)
  • How not good tents are at being in wind.
  • That you can actually find conch shells at the beach
  • How awesome we are at randomly chosing the weekend there is a kite festival in any given place.
  • Digeredoos exist
  • Wendy's likes to keep their drivethrough and kitchen lights on when they are in fact, closed.
  • I cannot run on less than 12 hours of sleep over the course of a weekend.
  • Washers are no match for sand. Neither are converses
  • I can't wait to go back to the beach.
  • Frisbee's super fun :)
  • I am not phone-dependant
  • College has taught me buying will-power!
  • A twelve person van can actually fit thirteen people and their baggage or seventeen people with no baggage.
  • Men are terrible with directions.
  • I'm terrible at keeping fires going.
  • Never ask questions about the quality of the hamburgers you are eating.
  • Greese and propane don't really mix well, though they cook a speedy burger.
  • Burying things in sand does not equal freshness.
  • People actually sleep in those little triangle two-flap stereotypical tents!
  • Those aformentioned tents are not recomended.
  • Burt's Bees pomogranate is, in fact, lip balm. And will stain your lips.
  • People are now texting and biking on the boardwalk...wonderful.
  • Zebra print is the new 'thing' for beach hoodies. Want one!!
So much learning on such an awesome weekend (which was actually awesome, dispite some rain and extremely sexist yet hilarious campfire tales)!!! Just two art projects, a speech, a powerpoint, and a final and I'm done for the summer (meaning more beach trips!!) It's so insane to think that a little over 120 blog posts ago I was a naive freshman who knew nothing of the weath of information college had to share with me!  Since coming here I've had all sorts of crazy (lame, in most people's deffinition, but I wouldn't trade 'em) adventures and misadventures and met a crap-load of awesome people. I feel like the year flew by! But look at me, all nostalgic, and I'm not even outta the woods yet! More sappy stuff later, Imma go and draw some random stuff and prep for my mini-speech tomorrow (How to Be Gaga: The Three Ds of Being Fabulous). I'm in such a great mood!! Dunno why, but who cares! Have a mathmatical night!!!!!
