22/5/2008
We got up and did our usual routine except I was woke up by people singing happy birthday (it is my birthday). Today I was doing orinteering which was tiring, I was with Kirstin and she is fast at running and I am not! Then we did climbing and absailing which was amazing and terrifing. First we had to climb up a really steep hill and make it to the top. Then we had to absail down a 50ft cliff. I was scared and Mr Dagger said it was my birthday treat from him, filling me with fear! I made it though and I was shaking like mad when I got to the bottem. Then we went to the smaller quarry to do more climbing. I got stuck on one of the climbs and Kirstin was holding onto my harness, I was laughing and scared at the same time! The disco was tonight, on my birthday what are the chances! It was great fun and we mixed with other schools really well. I sad about going home tomorrow but hyper about being 12!
