No Limits

I'm very tired. I want to sleep so I'll try to keep this short, and maybe have another post. Though this isn't your light-hearted post, because, as I said, I am tired.

First of all, I'm having trouble with uploading photos, in such a way that most of stuff I upload end up as drafts. I guess it's mainly because of the internet connection. So if I have any team mates, classmates, or "Geog-mates" who stumble upon my site, just be patient. I'll try my best.

Anyway, on with Geog Camp. I had to wear my oversized, unused for a year, high school sophomore jersey shirt because I was in yellow team and that I'm not too fond of that color. I guess I enjoyed it the way I expected it to be in some ways, but I guess you really can't be comfortable especially with the weather. But I was surprised I somehow enjoyed squishing my feet on the ground. Consequentially, though, I'm having trouble with cleaning my stubborn nails and drying my used clothing. Getting wet in the rain still wasn't though, it was freaking cold. Hello, Tagaytay, anyone?

I really just hoped they had rock shoes for the wall climbing part. Now, I'm thankful I took Sport Climbing for PE. I guess I'm not too good with wet and rotating holds.

Thanks to my teammates, I was not my usual too quiet and too introverted self. I guess it does take a catalyst before I get to be enthusiastic in more than one thing. It's good that chance made me go with the more extroverted individuals, and not let me wallow in my own silence.

I didn't feel old, nor do I think I felt all that young, as I keep on meeting freshmen who are of my age or older, though I guess being a sophomore doesn't really make you old or something. I don't really mind people calling me with "Kuya" or not, though I guess I'd appreciate it if like people 5 years my junior would. But I miss the sound of the complete "John Dale" already.

It actually felt like being in high school. No, I wasn't the team leader, but I was acting as if I were just with my high school friends - like I already knew them for quite while, but still observing their actions. Strange, because in class, I'd really not mind any of them, except maybe my seatmate who didn't join the camp. I wonder if any of that would change from now on. I am, after all, a self-confessed introvert.

I love my Mojo sandals. They haven't failed me while I was using them on the slippery rocks and mud of the river and the camp. Thanks to Rich for that. But I'm not sure if my camera is malfuctioning, or if it is just the battery. I ended up using the low-end camera of my phone for the other photos.

Thankfully, Day by Day arrived, so I guess i don't have to worry for my Sport Climbing Class tomorrow, except about waking up early. Before I forget, congratulations to NIGS!
