Catalina Trip






I went with my science class to Catalina Island for a week. Nerd camp was surprisingly fun and I went with my best friend Jay. The theme for the week was Breaking Fears. I learned so much that a book could not teach me--for example: Nurdles Kill Turtles. When we were about to get on the ship to the island, we ran into Horatio from CSI. He was filming in San Padro...strange because it is not called CSI San Pedro. This trip was so much fun and a great time to get to know some people that I see in the halls but don't really talk to. One night we went on this trust walk and it was so funny. I had to be in between two people that I would not trust AT ALL to lead me blind folded through the forest. Luckily I made it out alive. We had a few close calls though. Snorkeling, nature walks, morning mountain top chapels, skit night, pushing my friend Garrett off a boat instead of collecting data, stepping on a snake, turtle hurdles, bon fires, whale watching, boat ride to the island, peeing in the wet suits (that is what they told us to do to keep warm --don't judge me), being on the party bus that danced and sang 90's songs the entire way home, kitchen duty, and In N Out. I loved this nerd trip with friends and good times.
