The Bummer Day

Every time we make it to a new continent, I have one day where I sleep into the late afternoon.  Last night, I was extremely tired and jet lagged.  Sure enough, today at 2:00 PM I woke up.  It was a bummer day for me.  I had to do math.  I slept in too late to carry out my mom’s secret idea to take me into town after I had finished my work.  I cut my foot and spent half an hour in a cold shower cleaning it up, and I am now writing my blog when people are outside playing ball and having a great time. 

My parents left for town at 10:00 in the morning, intending for me to sleep for another hour and then start my math.  However, I woke up at two when my parents got home and the rest of the day was plainly all math.  After my 2:00 PM wake up, my dad did a kayak run that my mom did not want to do.  My mom had thought it would be fun for me to go into town and be shown around, but instead, I now had my math to do and she stayed home while I did it.  By the time I had all my supplies together and had eaten lunch (my breakfast) it was already 3:00.  I did a unit of math and finished around 5:00, but I actually was not finished because it was approaching blog time.  This was a real bummer because I rarely get one on one time with my parents and going into town with my mom would have been really fun.



Before starting my blog, I nicked my foot on the side of the shower and had to deal with another stupid hassle.  In order to wash off the cut, I had to take a shower.  In the middle of my shower, the water turned cold and I finished washing my hair in ice cold water.  With a wicked brain freeze, I walked back to the room to write my blog.

I was just starting my blog when a knock came on the door.  It was Dave wanting to know if I wanted to play a game of bocci ball.  Of course, my blog made the answer plainly “no.”  After a couple of minutes, screams of laughter came from outside.  Happily, my super mom stayed with me to keep me company and she suggested I listen to my music to keep out the sounds of happiness I was missing.







Today was disappointing.  Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.  In fact, tomorrow I will do my first class lll rapid ever!  It starts at the camp, and ends in a big pool.  I have scouted it several times over the last two days and Dad, Mom, and Nora will accompany me.
