exhaust fumes visible from the cold weather. We all piled onto the bus, listening to music the whole way north. Driving on roads through the countryside, contrast of nature and culture out our windows. Finally the school bus arrives to the AMC lodge, mountains towering over and around the building. We get out of the bus all eager to go inside into our bunk rooms. But instead they make us play games outside on the lawn because our rooms were not ready. All the counselors introduce themselves, while we sit in a big circle. I sit antsy, trying to decide if I am hot or cold. Then we get up and eat our lunch. I sit with my friends on the steps of the porch. Crumbs falling through the steps into the soil underneath. After that we get up and finley go to our rooms. But short after that we had to go on a mini hike with our new hiking groups. We go on a small hike in a circle around the nearby woods. Walking through man made trails, wooden bridges and slippery rocks. Sketching and waypointing on the way. We get back before any other hiking groups so we play game with compas. We played a scavenger hunt, where we learned about trees and the way they effect humans, and they way humans effect trees. Then we had free time and I hang out with my friend. Later we had dinner spaghetti and meatballs. Then we played game in the dark outside. And soon later went to bed.
