Quarter Break Hike

Okay, once again this is long overdue. I have yet to have written about my Quarter Break and i have to say, that was the most amazing QB in ages! I'm not kidding. So basically, we went hiking. Yea, I know... it sounds boring and hard and something that you wouldn't want to do during vacation, WRONG! It was the perfect thing! True, I didn't get 20 hours of sleep a day or spend lots of money shopping for stuff... it was great. First of all, we hiked for like four days. That was uber hard but at the end of it all, it created this feeling of accomplishment. I'm really glad that I finished it. Sure there were hard times but I think that's what made the good times amazing, and some were a mixture of both. Anyways... I shall give you a brief interview of what we did each day. Day 1: (okay... technically it started the day before with us staying at Hanifl, hanging out at Char Dukan and getting our gear/packing oh and not to mention this amazing TV show about food places in the states that I am definitely checking out but we can skip that part for now.) Anyways... So yea. The day started at five in the morning for me. I woke up when I thought someone was pounding on the door but it turns out that they weren't. I just ended up getting out of bed and packing up the rest of my stuff and getting ready to leave. We walked to school for breakfast and then down to dorms to get into the buses. I right away took one of the front seats due to my car sickness and Wolfy sat next to me. That was a good thing cuz during the ride i ended up getting sleepy so i just used him as a pillow. Hehe... Jeena was jealous of me because aparently, her boyfriend is too skinny to be comfortable... :P Anywhos. So after we got to our drop off point, we started hiking. And wow, it was way harder. First of all, before I had been a lot more fit and had been hiking every saturday that semester and second of all, I had a heavier backpack. In the end, I just ended up staying near the back with Mr. Nagarwalla and we just talked which was really nice. When we got to the campsite, Wolfy and Shayan gave a us a demonstration on how to set up a tent. Once we got camp set up, we played Mafia and then cooked dinner, which was wai wai, vegetables and eggs. It was okay, I guess. Anywhos, after that we built a fire which was nice. We all hungout around the fire and i ended up sitting in between Wolfy and Shayan because apparently the smoke didn't like me so by hanging out with me they didn't get attacked by the smoke. Oh my gosh. There were so many freaking dirty jokes... *Sigh* Then of course there was all the talking that came from one of the boy's tents... they were saying things that sounded so freaking wrong... aya... it made everyone outside laugh though. Tis what I get from hanging out with a bunch of boys. Day 2: We made breakfast: omelet thingy with lots of vegetables. Then after that, we ended up packing up our tents and heading out of camp. I stayed in the back with Mr. Nagarwalla agian and we just talked. It was nice. I mean I told him a few new things and he gave me advice about some stuff. Which was a good thing... anyways... It didn't take too long to get to our next campsite but near the end, Mr. Nagarwalla put me in the front for a bit which worked for all of the 10 minutes and then everyone ended up going infront of me again... Anyways, I got to the campsite, we set up camp. had lunch and then ended up leaving everything except for a water bottle and heading towards the summit. Going up to the summit was annoying. Thankfully Wolfy walked up with me in the back and showed me the longer paths which were easier to climb. At the summit we got a lecture during which I tried very hard not to fall asleep in since it was warm plus I was using Wofly as my pillow and it was really comfortable... and yea... We played sticks which is like spoons but requires running. Anyways, it was a pretty good game and there were fun parts such as the time when Shayan ran after Jeena's boyfriend and tackled him since he wanted the stick... oh dear. Afterwards, we started walking down and then I started freaking out because of heights and stuff... yea... I sat for like 10 minutes or something like that on a rock cuz I thought I was going to fall to my death... silly me but Wolfy was patient and waited for me even though his feet were hurting. When I finally got up and started walking down again, I started getting this pain in my ribs. Every time I breathed in and out it hurt like hell. So yea... I ended up getting down to the camp and then Wolfy was uber nice to get my stuff when I needed it and then he helped me get drugs and stuff for the pain... after that I just sat and watched the sky change color as the sun started to set and as the storm started. We had pasta and stuff that night. It was really good except for the fact that our stuff started to fly away in the wind. Thankfully the storm didn't really hit us and just past by us and stuff... That night we had another campfire and Shayan, Wolfy and me hung out till late night, which was amazingly fun. Day 3: I got put in the front. Oh my gosh. It was strange. The last two days I had walked in the back so Mr. Nagarwalla put me in the front to "pace" the group. It was fun and I got to walk in front with Mr. Nagarwalla and Wolfy. We saw a snake which scared me to death and not to mention a lizard which scared me too cuz I thought it was another snake. When we finally stopped for lunch it was so nice! I stopped and like died. I also slept for a bit, which was nice. Not long after we finished with lunch we started off again. Once again Mr. Nagarwalla made me go infront. *sigh* I liked it when I got him off topic cuz he would stop to take pictures and that meant that Wolfy and me could walk slower and keep moving forward. (BTW: Wolfy carried my tent for me... *sigh* he didn't have to but he did... meh) However, by the time we got to the valley... my feet were killing me. *sigh* After that I ended up being near the back which was fine with me cuz otherwise I would have gotten lots of people mad at me. Wolfy stayed with me cuz his feet were also hurting and at one point he stepped in like mud which he thought was shallow... but it like ate his foot up... hehe... it was funny. People stopped and waited for us every once in a while but the thing is that after a while they had the last stretch till they got to the camp. Me and Wolfy ended up getting lost for a while cuz we followed the guide but he was lost too. It was nice though... Wolfy was being uber nice to me... I felt special... I think I was way too tired and started to like hum and get like on this high mood. Wolfy had to make me sit down a few times to make me drink water and rest cuz I was dying... when we finally reached camp I was so happy! We set up the remaining stuff and I just died for a while. I mean, I seriously couldn't walk. I was like hobbling around and stuff. Dinner that night was okay but I didn't really feel like eating that much... The group who did games that night did a pretty good job. I don't really remember what the game was though cuz me and Shayan sat it out and just sat by the fire and stuff. It looked fun though. Oh yea! And the branches and stuff we put in the fire was apparently smokable. So people were like smoking it... it was strange. I didn't of course but almost everyone else did. As usual we hung out by the fire and that night a lot of people were there after the games and such. It was funny though cuz then we could hear the boys talking about JSB. They get obsessed by it too! Hehe... it was funny. I didn't stay up too late though, I was tired and besides, Shayan wasn't there, he injured himself and so he went to sleep early... oh well. Day 4: We woke up later and had to write essays and stuff. Then Wolfy, Shayan, Jeena and me had to do our game thingy. Wolfy and Shayan did the obstacle course while me and Jeena explain to people what they were doing and what the rules were. It was really fun and after that me and Jeena taught people how to play ninja, which is the most awesome game ever! After that, we walked back to the road where our bus was waiting. We sat in the same spots and it was nice because I used Wolfy as a pillow... again... oh well. We got back to Hanifl Center it was nice and all but I missed the time I spent with people around the campfire. Over all... it was a good hike. It made me feel accomplished and special. I also passed my Outdoor credit requirements so now I have 30 hours out of the way... YAY! The group of people who went were a good group too so it was rather nice. If I had to do it again, mind you with the same people, I would so do it. :)
