The time of my life

Okay, the TAM retreat happened this thursday. It was AWESOME! it also took two days, so I'm gonna do this as briefly as possible:


DAY 1)
A lot of stuuf happened on day 1. Trust me. First of all, before we even got on the bus to get on the resort, my carpool was fifteen minutes late. So I just sat in our living room, thinking it will probably never come and I'll have to spend the whole day at home.

So once, we finally got to TAM, we were just sat around waiting for EVERYONE ELSE to get to tam. So while we were waiting, I thought I'd check out their piano. I play a KILLER piece on piano, let me tell you. Ask Pyschotodler. He can hook you up with one of my master pieces. Unless you live with me. Then get lost. Anyway, I started playing on their piano a really nice song, it was very long though. I didn't even notice the hordes of high-schoolers collecting around me. In fact, I didn't notice until the end, where they all started applauding. It was then I fell off the chair backwards, no joke.

So after the piano incident, we got on the bus. I clocked the ride, it was 3 hours. IT WAS THAT LONG! I think I died a few times, because I rarely remember anything about the ride there except it was extremly boring. So yeah. Escpecially because my entire class was on the other bus, and I somehow got stuck with all the tam girls. So yeah.

Once we finally arrived at "the lodge" we were all assinged our rooms. Luckily for me, I got put in a room with my friends! I even did a little dance. So then we got a few minutes to unpack and get settled. Then we all went downstairs for some speeches that I found quite boring. Then we playd a game where you had to get someone else to answer questions about themselves, but I found that boring also. After that, we went outside to play a game called "Russian Passport." You had to go around to each of the boothes (countries) and do an activity. For each activity, you get a stamp. You win when your card is filled with stamps, but if you run into a "border watch" they take all your stamps away.

After this exciting game, we went to the gym to do literally nothing. I mean, really. We just sat around. So my friends and I took pictures of stuff and a movie of someone putting chopsticks in their hair. Then my friend took a picture of me strangling someone. Yeah....

Then, we ate lunch. Boy, I have never EVER had a lunch so good. I mean, there was Chicago pizza, garlic bread, a salad bar, strawberries with cream, and even dessert! Chocolate ice cream with gram crackers! I mean, this was AMAZING!!!

Then we went to a "workshop". Workshop, is another way of saying "Boring lecture that goes on for an hour." I'm not sure why they did this on a retreat, but we had three of them. Man oh man, those things were so boring, a piece of LETTUCE might have been more interesting. At least to me.

Now, it was getting dark outside, around 4:00. And it was raining cats and dogs. So you had two options. You could
a) go on a hay ride
b) have free time

Obviously, I chose free time. I which I went down to the basement and played elimination with my friends. Then I went upstiars and drew an AWESOME picture. I'm telling you, this is the best picture of my career. So we had free time for two hours until supper. Supper was, basically, a hot bowl of soup, a piece of kugel, and a heaping plate ful of brisket. Pretty cool. So it was around 8:00 now. We had an activity which was: We were each assigned into little groups, which were then assigned countries. We had to present a banner, skit and food. I was stuck with France, and making the banner. France. Seriously. So I went out in the pouring rain to the gym, where I had very few sharpes to work with. I starting sketching out the Eifel tower and some french flags. Luckily, someone in our group could speak french, and I think that won us th banner award. Or it was some funny thingsI said when presenting it. It could be either. But we won the banner awards.

After this, we sat around the campfire and sang nice songs. And while we were singing nice songs, we cooked smores on the fire. For all you strange people out there who are behind the times, a smore is a gramcracker with meltled chocholate ad marshmallows inside. So anyway, while all this Achdus was happening, someone pulled the prank of the century. I don't know who it was, but SOMEBODY threw a giant rubber tranchula out onto the field, and EVERYBODY screamed their heads off. It was hilarous!!! The tranchula was later found to belong to the management. Funny how that worked out. So I played a soft song on the piano while everyone ate their smores, and then we went to bed. We didn't go to bed I mean, we went back to th lodge. We were SUPPOSED to go to bed, but that's never stopped anyne before. So I went downstairs and played with my friends again. Until the penguin parade showed up. Some girls dressed up as penguins for some reason, and ran around the lodge. So I joined the penguin parade. We paraded around for a good solid hour. I went to go eat some cake and soda after the parade. Then I went to my room to talked even more with my friends to a good 2:00 AM in the morning. At that time, I went into the lobby of the lodge where a strange-dancing-musical kinda movie was playing. To make a long story short, I went to bed at 2:45 AM.


DAY 2)
To make another long story short, we went home.

Breakfast was awesome, pancakes with chocolate melted inside, toast, and strawberries. The bus was three hours late, and I drew another awesome picture.



Well, thatsa my story. Now I have to go, this keyboard is REALLY annoying me.
