Part 2 of the Hitchhikers Anonymous Pentology,

Yesterday we were told, before we left, that we had to leave OMSI at 8 in the morning. Yes, that meant that I had to get up at 6. I nearly cried at the thought of getting up at 6 in the summer, to go wind surfing.

I got out of bed and put on my sweatshirt and swimsuit so i was ready to go swimming. I than went downstairs and fixed myself some blueberry pancakes and sat there, listening to sappy pop songs on my ipod. As I was getting to "Can't be Tamed," by Miley Cyrus when I heard the fain footsteps of my mom coming down the stairs. I quickly got off my Ipod and went into the kitchen to greet her with a hug. She enthusiastically hugged me back. I waited for a while, until Thomas took me to the OMSI building. On the way there we listened to ESPN Sports radio 10.80 The Fan.

The parking lot was empty, because it was so freaking early in the morning. We were the first ones there and so we waited for the check in to open and than Thomas checked me in. It was so freaking cold that I actually rolled down my sleeves. I know, right!

Once everyone got there, we went to the bathroom in the turbine hall. While everyone was taking care of there business, I was throwing paper planes down the elevator shaft. I never got caught. [fast forward] We got off the bus and started to eat our snacks. Before we went into the water we had to have our wet-suits fitted. This took like 8 hours because everyone didn't know how to put them on. I took like 2 seconds because mine was a perfect fit. And than they told us that we had to put on booties and a life jacket. Last year we didn't even wear a wet-suit, we roughed it, i only wore a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. I almost drowned....

Once everybody had there wet suit on we went over to the river where we were taught how to wind surf. The thing that made me mad was there was 2 different kinds of 180's. There was an up wind 180 and a down wind 180. What's the difference, they both turn you around.

We, than, had lunch and then it was time to get into the water. I walked down to the shore and put a toe in the water. It was really warm. Slowly I took more step's until I was waist deep. it was freezing once you got to waist deep, and than it was the hard part. I had to put my genital area under the water. That hurt so much, man. I rode around on a board for a while until one of the life guards offered to help me actually wind surf. I said sure, and crawled onto the board. I hoisted up the mast and than
"plop!" I fell in backwards. My entire body was soaked now, and I was freezing.

I tried to do this so many more times, but every time I fell on my ass in the water. I never actually wind surfed. If I could name the field trip I would call it, Ass Wetting Boarding. I was soaked after that, and when we got out of the water, my feet got all sandy. YUK!

Tomorrow is gliding. Yep, falling out of the sky in a plane without a motor. Sigh.

Vladmere the Elephant,

This is a story that me and my friend Henry wrote (more me than him) in Advisory at school. We were bored so we decided to pick up on a story that we had started writing a couple weeks earlier but we couldn't finish it because our Math teacher said it wasn't considered "school work."
Watch this get published Ms. Sullivan!

Part 1: The Big Shower,
Once upon a time way back in the 1930's there lived an Elephant named Vladmere. At first glance you would think he was a nice, happy Elephant, but at first smell you might think differently.
Vladmere was a very stinky Elephant to say it in a short way.
"You are so stinky," says his best friend Jimmy.
"I know I stink," said Vladmere in a very dejected voice, "what should I do?"
"You should go take a shower," said his girlfriend Fallen. So Vladmere went and took a shower. He turned on the water and used his Axe shower gel... but he still stunk.
"I trusted you Axe Shower Gel," he screamed at his shower gel....
After this he went to his other friend Todd.
"What should I do, Todd?" Vladmere asked.
"You need to go to the BIG SHOWER," Todd replied.
"What's that?" Vladmere asked.
"It makes everybody clean,"Todd said.
All of a sudden a bunch of Russian Helicopters dropped out of the clouds, picked Vladmere up using a new grapple technology, and flew away.
"AHHHHHH!" Vladmere screamed, "WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?!"
"You know what's happening to you," one of the Russians said, "you were trying to go to our secret hanger, code name... the BIG SHOWER."
"NOOOOO!"
"And so now we are going to take you to a camp," the russian said.
"A... a... a... camp?"
"Not just any camp a... a... concentration camp." At this point Vladmere was piss-his-pants scared.
Once they landed they un-hooked Vladmere and dragged him into the concentration camp... zoo.
"Were are we?" Vladmere asked as he was being dragged.
"In Siberia," one Russian said. They pushed Vladmere into his stall and left him there. Vladmere noticed that there was a computer in his stall, so he thought it was a good time to check his Facebook.
He posted a status update saying:
Vladmere Todd: is trapped in a concentration camp zoo lol. But all the Russians were checking there Facebook too and they thought Vladmer Todd was sending a distress call.

Back in Vladmere's stall.
Vladmere decided that he wanted to friend Stalin on Facebook so that maybe Stalin would like him and let him go to the BIG SHOWER. So he did and he regretted it.
