Today was the start of activitys week in my school. incase you don't know what activities week is, because I don't know if any other school does it, it's basically when it's the final week of the high school year, before we go back in September, from Monday to Thursday, we get to choose some activitys to do all week, and these activitys can be inside or outside school (but you have to choose from a list of what activitys there are on a list, and some you do have to pay for).
today I went to Dartmoor for the first day of activitys week and I have 2 words to say about it; NEVER AGAIN! Seriously, we were just walking around all day on a muddy, foggy hill, and what did I accomplish? Let's see:
-Got one of my legs soaked due to a leaky water bottle before we even got there
-fail to keep my hair out of my face due to the wind blowing it EVERYWHERE when we got there
-walk down a steep hill
-almost slip over several times
-find out some facts that I'm not interested in
-continue walking
-get tired
-have 'break time' by a river
-whilst having break, find an old swing and get bored, so decide to go on it
-almost fail to get off as it is so high off the ground that my feet can't reach the ground to help me stop swinging as I am NOT jumping off (if it wasn't for my friend being there)
-go on a rope swing over the river thingy twice and fail to make it to the other side both times(still on break)
-Finnish break and continue walking, but up hill this time (😑)
-continue walking some more
-continue walking
-blah blah blah
-find out more facts that I'm not interested in
-have lunch
-continue walking
-slip over about a million times
-find some bill-berries (I think that's what my teachers said they are called)
-eat them because my lunch was a packed lunch, and it isn't the best for filling people up
-continue walking
-find a lot more bill-berries and eat some, save some (in my hand so I can eat them as I'm going)
-continue walking whilst finding more and more bill-berries(my hands soon became purple due to me accidentally crushing some of them)
-start to go through a bog
-get stuck in that bog😔
-have to get 2 people to get me out
-about a minute later get stuck again in the same bog😭
-get people to help me out
-drop all of my remaining bill-berries to try to help them get me out again (obviously it worked)
-almost loose one of my shoes in the bog😡
-get one of the boys that helped me out of the bog to get my shoe
-put back on my very dirty shoe and not enjoy it what-so-ever😕
-continue walking😠
-want to get more bill-berries, but because I got stuck in the bog, and my hands got muddy, I didn't want to touch anything that I'm going to eat with my muddy hands.😡😡😡
-walk more
-walk more
-walk even more 😑
-finally get to the car park where the coach is suppose to be, but it isn't there yet😕
-find out that we are suppose to go to a different car park (meaning more walking 😑)
-go there
-find out that it isn't there either😤
-find out that there's a toilet at the car park (the first one since school)
-go in to wash my hands
-get out to be told that the coach finally arrived and I'm the last person they need to go back to school to get home from there
-get on coach, try to fall asleep but fail as I wasn't comfortable enough and get super bored
-finally get back to school so that I can finally go home
-walk home😩😭

Yep. that is what happened today. I regret choosing to do this. by the way, because it's activities week, everyday this week, until Thursday, I will be updating about what I did that day and what it was like, along with (most likely) a picture. also, Friday, as its my last day of year 8 EVER, I will also be updating then about that (but since it technically isn't part of activities week according to my school, I won't be counting it as part of my activities week updates). that will be all for now. bye
