Chess Club

Tonight, at about 6 o'clock I will get to play chess for 3 whole hours! That is very exciting, I have been preparing for a long time for this opportunity. I wanted to go somewhere to play chess last week, but because of various reasons I couldn't, today I can go, and it is for a pretty long time. My mom explained how it is a chess club with no instructors, that makes it very interesting to me, I always went to classes, but I mainly want to play, my mom also told me that when summer school finishes I can go where to a camp for the entire week!

Public Speaking Class

I have to classes at summer school for this week and the next one. First, I have art, and then I have public speaking, which I by far enjoy more. I came into summer school, after an outdoorsy boy scout experience. I also took public speaking, it consisted mainly of impromptu speeches, which were hard, but not very punishing. I came to summer school, doing planned speeches, which seemed so much harder, coming from an experience of mostly impromptu speeches. We are currently on the advertisement speech, and it was a nightmare making the power point. Even though I had done it before, it seemed odd after my plain speeches. I decided to make a cereal advertisement, I was inspired by the fact that 33% of Breakfast Cereal profits are reinvested in advertising. Though it is kind of painful, this part is the important, but hard part for me. I actually want to learn it for the future.

However, I am yet anticipating for the Debate Class part of it. I love debating, I love arguing so I can't wait to go into it. I tend to argue a lot, and I haven't been in a debate class before. So now, I can finally unload all that pressure. I am thinking of what the topics are, hopefully it won't be too off from my expectations, however, I know I will have to wait a bit, so I am just trying to relax in the meanwhile.

In conclusion, this week's spice in my life has been the public speaking/debate class, which I hope will stick with me until at least next week.

My Summer Camp Day 1

Last week, I went to a Boy Scout summer camp for the majority of the week. It was cool. The morning of Sunday, 5 am, I was yelled awake by my dad, after a quick breakfast, by 5:20 we were off. Finally at 6 the bus, along with our gear started heading towards camp Chawanakee in Central California, near Shaever Lake. We headed north, and headed towards Los Angeles without traffic - because it was seven in the morning. By the time we ate lunch (At the superior burger store, In-N-Out) we were in Fresno, just a mile from the destination. After a bumpy ride, and 5000 ft. of slopes, we arrived into a forested area in the valley of Shaever Lake. From Early afternoon until bedtime, I enjoyed a few hours of hanging out after we finished setting up camp at 4. While my friends went fishing, I enjoyed the sunset. We had a welcome campfire and by ten, I was dozing off in the warm summer weather.
