fReE p0sT (Friday's retreat)

On Friday. October 25, the freshman's had there first retreat. Most of my class was excepting it to be boring because we had to work all day, but I looked at it as a ticket out of school. When we first got to the retreat, I saw a lot of water bottles. It was freezing, but we still needed some way to hydrate ourselves. I was shivering as they put us into groups. The first thing my group had to do was cut weeds and trees and just clear out this part of the side walk. Well, for an hour we all sat there with face mask on trying not to inhale the floating pollen. After about an hour, I stepped back reliaziing that my group's hard work did pay off. Next up, was making a trail. For the next hour we had to sit there and clears a pathway or soon to be trail. It was hard, but very fun. I felt that my group really accomplished the task given. The next activity, was listening to these 2 people talk. Some but say that was boring, but it was fun because I got to sit down for a while  blur out voices while listening to the nature.

Lunch cam next. We ate hot pizza and drank the semi cool water bottles we had been asked to bring. After we ate, we just got to chill and hang around the park. Then the last yet most fun activity was canoeing. Audrey and I, hopped in the canoe in search of some trash. We were like pro canoers, everything went smooth. Nobody fell in! I was sad when canoeing ended because that meant the day was over. We hopped back on the bus and had a good time until we arrived at EHS. My experience's during that retreat are very memorable!
