Wow, I recently started high school. It has been great so far, I like all of my teachers and I have made some new friends as well as talked to a few older ones. One of my new friends, Bridgett, has all of the same classes as me. As I told her, "By the end of this semester, we will be best friends." We even sit by each other in all of our classes!
Well, last night, we had game night at my church. It was a lot of fun, but a little odd and annoying with all of the sixth graders there. We played lots of games like the sled game, a name game, sit down pool noodle hockey and amoeba. I invited Bridgett, and we picked her up to go to game night. Kellyn and "Big Sarah" were there. (PS. It's "Big Sarah", as opposed to "Little Sara(me))We also played water balloon towel volley ball. It was a lot of fun, and we hope to have that much fun at the upcoming lock in. Well, so far, that is one of the most interesting things that has happened with me in the past week. Bye! :)

White Water Rafting
We are splashing from side to side, but it is only the start of our epic trip down the Ocoee River. It would not be easy and you would have to tolerate the cold water splashing upon your lap. Soon, you drop off of a five foot water fall, as you are enveloped in water, your friend crashes into you from the other side of the raft, sending you out into the river.
This is what happened almost immediately as we set out on our journey down the Ocoee. I was the one to fall, soon enough though, I was pulled back into the raft by our guide, Stan The Man. First, we were splashed thoroughly as my friend slipped, knocking me into the water. Then, I was out of the boat, then under it, then behind it. I reached up as I heard Stan yelling, "Grab the paddle!!!" I grabbed on and was pulled to safety. Luckily that was the only time that this happened, and I was unharmed.
We had a great time, doing many things like "Riding the Bull." Which is where you sit on the front of the raft and hold on to a rope. If you lean too far backwards, you hit the people paddling, too far forwards and you swim back to your seat. No one fell out except for me, but plenty of people fell in.
Well, I have had a great day and I hope you have too.
