OMG camp was awesome! :D

5 days of pure fun and joy! (minus about 4 hours of misery in the dreadful rain…)

i think it's the first time since yr 9 when a whole lot of my friends were in the same group as me

which made it just even more awesome! ^^

i took lots of photos, which i will hopefully scan and upload some time this week (AFTER i finish all the hw + assignments…)

i'll keep a basic log of camp here, so i won't forget the happy memories!

also some identification of the ppl…

Jin=me

Eddie=Theodore III
