My first ever camping trip

So this weekend I went on my first EVER camping trip, we were supposed to go to for a weekend but gave in after one night. We rolled into the camp site at around 9:00pm and started setting up camp…I currently have 69 mosquito bites and some unpleasant bruising from God knows what. After driving for hours we hadn’t eaten yet. Therefore-dinner was made after we set everything up. Ugh. We tried everything to try and deter the mosquito’s and get rid of them: fire, those citronella candles, bug spray etc. but NOTHING worked-as you can tell (with 69 mosquito bites) So the night ended up being arrival-set up-eat-inside the tent asap! Once we woke up in the morning the bugs were just as bad. This resulted in eating breaky as we tore down our tent at 8am. We then decided to domesticate a little and hit up the trailer at Hatzic lake for the second night :) 

SO in short-my first ever camping trip resulted in a big ichy painful mess. I currently HATE tenting and never want to do it again. But I’ll troop it out for one more try later. 

First post..ever

So this is oficially my first blog post ever. 

I thought because I am graduated now, I wanted to blog the new and important things that happen in my life. 

So far, all I’ve done is finished high school and started work at the dreaded tree farm. I have my graduation ceremony coming up next week, and then more work. 

So so far in life, nothing exciting.

I’m learning about different people and the way they handle things-and I’ll be honest, I’m not impressed. So far, all I’ve really experienced being done high school is how much drama there is outside of high school, which is funny because all throughout these years people have been talking about how dramatic high school is and how much better it is to be out of it. From my current perspective, it’s the same, the people are the same, no matter age or academic level, and being in high school or not in high school doesn’t really matter. There will always be those people in our lives who just don’t grow up.

Anyway, I’m learning to bite my tongue and hold back my firey and hot headed attitude when in the midst. I’ve started to learn that it’s just not worth it to argue a certain point, or persist when it comes to people, their morals and the difference between right and wrong in my head and theirs. Sometimes it just best to sit back, and enjoy the ride. (as cliche as that is)
