save you from yourself

Today was my school picnic. I've been kind of looking forward to it for a while and this was one of the "high school hot spots" meaning it would feature a few high school teachers - and hopefully high school students. It was raining a lot today though, beautiful weather for a picnic.


We ended up getting lost and arrived half an hour late but we were just in time because shortly after we signed in they started the games they had planned. they split the kids up into groups - little kids and sixth through twelfth.

The first thing we did was the human knot. Everyone stands in a circle and reaches out and takes a hand. Eventually you have this giant knot of people all connected by hands and you have to use team work and communication to separate yourselves and form a circle again. That was kind of fun, so we did that a few times.


Next, the teacher put a folded piece of paper on the ground, after we were divided into teams. We had to have ONE person standing on the paper and no one else could touch the ground or touch anything touching the ground. Eventually someone figured out somebody stands on the paper and then we all jump in the air, lol.

After we did that, we had to form a line in an order that made sense without speaking to each other. Then we had to form a line by something other than height, etc. and we couldnt speak or move our arms. THEN we had to form a line by grade without speaking or moving our arms either. That one was tough because nobody knew what grade everyone else was in except for the few people who wrote it on their name tags.

Then we ate lunch.
Unlike OHDELA's picnic, they did not provide the food and as you can see it was a lot smaller. It also only lasted for a few hours rather than the whole day.

I AM SOCIALLY AWKWARD. Let's get that out of the way now, lol. For the veteran readers of my blog you should know I have a this problem with talking to people - especially girls my age - that I don't know or have no introduction to. It took me at least twenty minutes to actually go interupt my teacher's conversation to introduce myself and I talked to him for a while. Of course my mind went blank when he asked me who my teachers were and then he says "So do you have a lot of friends in OHVA?" BAHAHAHA. Thats funny.

No.

I think I know 4 or 5 kids, two of which I've met in person, one I've known for at least two years, and two others who just added me on facebook for the heck of it xD So when he asked me which kids were my friends in History I kind of went "um..."
So that was the easy part.
THEN i tackled the huge scary intimidating beast also known as TALKING TO GIRLS MY OWN AGE. dun dun DUN.

I dont know what it is that makes the idea of making the first move so intimidating to me >_< Meanwhile the little kids were being loud and playing with a parachute.
It brought back memories from the good old days in gymnastics when i was three :]
I LOVED the parachute.
But anyways...
