Pre-camp thoughts

I think almost everyone in this class is going for this camp, i persoally not looking forward to it but not dreading it either. The camp has certain facilities like a rock wall, archery range, high elements, fling fox, a lake (not nice), huts, dorms, mess hall and a gathering point. Not too big at all. Haha, I've been to the camp before and it is not as nice looking as it seems. Here's why:
1. The ground is not paved or tiled to become a pavement (and i don't think it will be) so if it rains, the ground will be very muddy and there will be brownish pools of water everywhere so watch where you walk so your shoes will not be covered in mud.
2. No proper sleeping hours and no naps (i don't take naps). You may be used to sleeping late and waking up early but first you must understand that the environment there and your house is a world apart, no fans/air-con,+mosquitoes, the coil some times doesn't work. You sleep at 11 and wake up at 6, after a whole tiring day may seem a bit short, though.
3. The toilets. Its crazy. Its smelly. Its muddy. Can you imagining bathing there? Your shoe is dirty and you step into the toilet and naturally the toilet becomes muddy. Then, you have to take out your shoes to shower and your legs get dirty. Hence, the toilet will reek of mud. And since 500 people have to bath in a mere 40 minutes with 10 cubicles and an open area shower with 9 shower heads. Even if they bath at 5 minutes per student, you will need to have 85 minutes. So, to keepin time you need to bath only 1.5minutes per student.
Thats all I will say for now as I do not which to damper excited people feelings. Although I stop there, that doesn't mean I don't have any more to say. However, we will need not study so we can at least rest our brains for a few days.
