9 Days Of Joy (Camping) | Days 9-18

Hello, everyone! It's so great to see you again, here in our secret place! I went on camping and I had the best summer period of this year! 9 days full of joy! Maybe, not all days but most of the days were full of happiness and freedom. I have captured the hottest moments in my phone and now to my blog! Have fun!

Day 1 

Today, is a little bit awkward. I mean, I know almost nobody and I feel like I have came in a place that is a little bit unknown for me. But it went great! I met a few people and I created a good friendship with the guys in my tend. My friend, Eleni, guided me and I can say that I loved this place. People seem to be really nice! 

Day 2 

Let me describe you the daily schedule.  There are 3 different teams. Everyday the camping leader shout "The first team shall go to the restaurant" or "the 2nd team shall go to the team meeting place". The 3rd team is a group full of people who have social problems like syndromes etc. Here in Greece, we call them AMEA. Each and every person is leaded by a unique guider. So, the story goes like this. We wake up at 7:30 (or so) and eat breakfast. Then we go to our meeting points and talk about what we are going to do that day. For example, young boys will play football, young girls will play volleyball etc. After that, we do random things (like cleaning etc). Then we eat pre- lunch and after almost 2 hours we eat lunch. At 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock at noon we have to stay inside our tends to sleep (or do whatever we want) [We are not allowed to wander around at noon]. At 4 pm the 2 teams go to the camping center (red square) to play a game (quiz).

At 5 pm, we meet at the meeting point and then we eat a snack. After that, we do what we said we would do at the meeting (like volleyball, football, basketball etc) [there are board games too]! Then we eat dinner at 8:30 (or so) and we get ready for the night party. Every night we party. At the night parties, we dance, sing, play games, shout slogans etc. 

Day 3

Today, was a really happy day! At noon, me and other music lovers gathered, an sung some songs. Some of my friends, told the team leaders that I could sing and had so much fun! 

Day 4 

This is how I fell down. It was so dangerous!

Today was a pretty rough day. For the first time of this camping period, that with did a morning exercise. Most of the kids we're in the football court, ready to do some training. As I was running -on the last exercise - I wasn't the only who notices that I am the fastest of the kids. I don't know why but I was. After that we played a game that we had to run and give a thing to one another and then run again to get to the finish line. I wanted to participate because i knew that I could represent my neighborhood and win. So as I was running and I was close to the finish line, I sped up and felt like I wanted to vomit. Well, that bad feeling made me weak a d not able to stand on my feet. So, I fell down like I was jumping to a pool. The saddest thing there was that there was no pool there but a rough ground full of small stones that scratched many parts of body. Most of the people can and help me go the doctor. The pain was too real. That fall scratched my knees, belly, and chest making me not able to run or walk fast for a week and maybe more, I don't know. I did a shower and my body was too weak to handle it. The towel scrubbing my body was hurtful. On the one side I felt like a hero. I felt like I can do anything in this world. That's q thought that everyone has to keep in mind. I felt like I can conquer any obstacle that shows up in my life. I felt strong. But on the other hand, I felt like a total idiot. I risked my health just to win a round of a freaking game. The question is, could I control it? No. I could not. I was running too fast to be able to stop on the finish line. At the,same, that wasn't the only reason I fell. It was because I felt weak. If I didn't have that feeling, I could run a little bit more and then find the strength to stop. What I learned from that is that you may fall but you have to stand up tall. But don't ever put all of your effort and will in something that is not that important to you. Now I am afraid to run too fast. I'm afraid of that feeling. I'm afraid that I will feel like I want to throw up, fall and get hurt. Its so unfair to be able to run very very fast and not be able to do it because you push yourself too hard and the sequences are bad. I was feeling bad the entire day because my injuries were hurtful as hell. The good thing that people would care and ask me if I'm okay. I appreciated that! I'm so grateful. For some weird reason I became popular after that and everybody knew my name. I like that too. The weirdest is that there were unknown people who knew my name before the incident. That's so cool. Anyway. later that day, when it was night, I sung in a singing completion that the camping owners created and I received a lot of good comments. The best part in this experience is that I'm nice to everyone, and people are nice to me too. Be nice to people, folks!.when it was my turn to sing, the person who was "hosting" the ',show ' said before announcing my name "the person who doesn't Run but flies! I felt such an honour to be characterized like that. Even though I fell down and it may seem ridiculous for some, it was w good name to be called "the man who flies ". 

Day 5 

Today, I am trying to confront the pain. I can't move frequently because of the pain. At least, my mother and brother visited me this evening and I was so happy to see them after 5 days. I missed them. They both freaked out when I told them about yesterday. 

Day 6 

I am blessed that I have true and loyal friends like Eleni. That's all!

Day 7 

Today, me and a friend of mine,smin, joined a chorus and we are going to perform three songs with the chorus at the last night party. Me and Yasmin, are actually going to sing together at the last night party, a mashup of songs like Let it go, You and I, All of me, Clarity, Firework and Someone like you! It will be great! It's so sweet! 

Day 8

We played a treasure hunting game and my team won! Yeah! We spent 2+ hours trying to solve puzzlers, running all round the camping area to find clues etc. I LOVE such games! We gained alot of points as a team so it'll be easier for us to win the camping championship. We had so much fun. At night, 

We watched a movie called "Escape Plan" in which the lead roles are played by Stalone and schwarzenegger. I didn't really like it... After that we danced in a party that we called "Crying Party" (Nobody cried but we just danced hearing Greek songs and then hugging one another because the tomorrow is going to be the end of this camping period). I don't want to leave. 

Day 9 

Today, was the worst day of this period. The good part was that we (my team) won the championship. Good news! The bad part is that when it was the night party time I felt so sick. I had to sing with Yasmin and for some weird reason, I wasn't able to do so. I was massively stressful (I didn't know why) and that nervousness transformed into a very bad feeling. I was feeling dizzy so hard and I wanted to throw up each time I was moving. I went to my tend, trying to calm down but I couldn't. My hands were shaking and I was putting cold water on my head. I couldn't open my mouth or else I was feeling like I wanted to throw up. Everyone was having fun at the last party of the camping period and I was messed up. I could barely move my head from the one side to the other. I was feeling SO BAD. I slept. 

The next day I was feeling the same. My parents brought me home and I was still sick. I slept and calmed down. But the "disease" is still hunting me until today. Sometimes, I feel good (like right now), sometimes I feel bad (like yesterday, and the day before yesterday). I still feel dizzy but not in a high level. I wish I could be better. I hope tomorrow I won't feel this way anymore!
