Camp Part1

Well today was Monday, the day I go to camp! It is 4 hours north of Lugoj (3 and a half but there is always potty breaks, snack breaks, and vomiting breaks). We were bringing 10 other kids 6 from a children's home in Gavojdea, 4 from a children's home in Jdoara. I was in the car with Ciprian,Ciprian(who we call Giura and Mircov),Denisa,and Diana. We got there at 1 o'clock just in time for lunch! After we chose our beds,unpacked, so on so forth. And out of pure 'luck' it rained! Day 1 at camp and it rains! At 4 we made the teams. The two teams were Daci si Romani (Dacians and Romans). Me and my friend Ciprian (Giura) were on the Daci team. So were 3 kids from Gavojdea. We played some indoor games, thanks to the rain. I wasn't that mad at the rain, because I was a little hot. Once it stopped raining (at 5) the counselors announced there would be championships of soccer and volleyball (boys for soccer girls for volleyball). And my Romanian friends dragged me into the soccer championship (not knowing I stunk). But they defianatly didn't regret it on Wednesday's game. There were 4 teams of 5. Your team had to play 1 match vs. every other team to decide who goes tho the Finals. My team was Ciprian,Ciprian,Gabi (from Gavojdea),and Alex. We won our match 4-0. I was la poarta the goalie,so I didn't get to score.
At chapel dad preached,about they only way to heaven.
Every night from 9:00-10:15 we had skits. They were funny!
We went to bed at 10:30. Of course, everyone talked, waved their turned-on flashlights everwhere until they were threatened. When the threatening stop the flashlighs opened and so did the mouths. It was like this 'till everyone got tired and went to bed. In the morning dad's alarm on his phone went off, but everyone was so tired to staying 'till midnight waving flashlights everywhere no one woke up. I did though. The next day at breakfast there was an announcement who won the boy/girl cleaning competiton. The girls. But us boys got a point too, for having a boy come to breakfast first. Me. I save my kind! Sorry. At 5 my soccer team played again and won 3-0. Good goalie are't I? Of course, it wasn't me. My team was just good at stealing. Anyway, after chapel,and supper, my team played again. Against the best team there was. Why are they good? Because Marcu Cyzente is on their team. They won 3-1. Not a very good goalie against that guy. Tommorrow on Wednesday, we would play our last match. We had to win if we lost, we'd not make the Finals. Obviously, I was told that after the game (which was a good thing, I wouldn't be as nervous).
At the skits that night a guy who went to the college in Costei (where dad USED to teach) wrote the skits. After his skits, we played the game Tornada! It's like a trivia game. You answer the question about the chapels,and morning lessons and you come up on stage and choose a card. If you choose a point your team (Daci or Romani) gets those points. You get a storm your point go to the other team. Every one. Get a tornado, you lose all your points (that you got on your turn). I wasn't chosen.
That night was repeat of the night before complete with flashlights, threatening (the counselors obviously never heard Theadore Roosevelt when he said,"Speak softly and carry a big stick."),and dad's alarm.
That is the end of Camp Part 1. But the real FUN team games start on hot,hot Wednesday.
