The GAG Experience

I hope I didn't just make you throw up right there.

If you're wondering why I didn't post yesterday — *gasp* — well, it was because of GAG! Aka Girls About Girls sleepover! After I got home at around 4pm, I had to pack. Then we had to meet back at school at 5:30pm, resulting in leaving at around 5pm. I didn't have the time to even look at the computer!

And so, a day — and a whole lot of sleep deprivation — later, here I am, sitting faithfully at the computer, to tell you about my day yesterday. During ICS class, we had another period to catch-up on our Repetition assignments. I managed to finish (and edit many times) my assignment 13, the last one of the assignments! It was very relieving to finally finish everything.

So now I have the rest of tonight and tomorrow to review for our second programming test! And study for the Math test. And practice for the playing test. Is it just me, or do my tests seem to gravitate towards each other, so that they end up all in the same day/week? Lucky me.

Now, you're probably dying to hear about my GAG experience! Yeah right. But I'll bore you with all the bloody details anyways. :)

Upon arrival, we were split up into different coloured groups. I was put into the red group. We started off playing a few group games, and then another few games in our smaller groups. We got to know each other a bit better. And then, before we knew it, it was time for dinner.

After dinner, we got a choice between "Improv" or "Karaoke". I chose Karaoke. Turns out, we played a game similar to Don't Forget the Lyrics! We paired up, and then went up to see if we could remember the lyrics to a song. Grace and I decided to go first, and we got to sing You Belong With Me (by Taylor Swift). After everyone got a turn to go up, everyone stood up and sang the last few songs. It was entertaining. xD

After our activity everyone went back to the gym, and we had a "wacky relay race", and you'd better believe it, because it was really weird, and involved things like passing oranges with our feet. Fun, eh?

Then, we again went into our groups for some team-building games. We had to do this game where we stepped on a sheet, and had to flip it over completely while making sure no one fell off. It was a really interesting experience.

After decorating our own cupcakes — and eating them of course — the ones who wanted to go swimming did, while the rest (including me) got ready for bed. We were actually luckier because we got all the nice mats. Not that we were being greedy or anything... ;)

After the swimming people got back, we again split into our groups for snacks and a discussion about life issues. We shared our thoughts and opinions on different aspects of life, such as relationships, the future, death, etc.

Then the movie The Incredibles was put on. Did I mention it was 12:00am by that time? Well past our bedtimes... but that was fine with us! Grace, Randi and I, who weren't very interested in watching the movie, spent some time talking, and then eventually we all fell asleep.

I only managed to get 4 hours. :(

I had to drag myself up at 7:00am, when they decided we'd had enough sleep for the night. It took awhile for everyone to get changed, and wash up. By the time everyone was done, it was time for breakfast.

After breakfast half the group went to the gym to play some "trust" games, while the others went to get t-shirts and decorate them! After an hour, we switched. I got all my friends who were there to sign my t-shirt.

And that was pretty much the end of it! I would say overall that it was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I'm glad I went — not to mention the free t-shirt we got. However as a result of yesterday I feel really tired, so I think I'll be heading off to bed yet. Better sleep well so I can get to studying for that CS test! ;)
