everyone also had to do night patrol according to shift in order to keep our stuff safe.
i manage to sleep well after the first night(:


Day three:
we woke up early again at 5.40 to pack everything by 7
today we left our kayaks and we have to trek for up to 10km
to get to checkpoints to earn points
in order to build a raft to go into the quarry
we managed to earn enough points after trekking with like freaking heavy bags

it rained so we didn't get to build the raft
went for shelter for a long while
before the instructor allow all of us to get a dip in the quarry

the mud once you get out in the water you step you practically sink in.
paddle paddle then reach the second one which is the road we had a lunch break before going back in.
travelled for sometime before reaching the open sea
it started to rain and the waves were huge
once we were in the open sea for like 20 minutes or so
it was stormy

and wanted to go home
but after everything its pretty woth it.
honestly want to thank the instructors bibiana and selamat. and marco stone people.
tomorrow going back to school-.-"
im so dead.

im so glad you're not impactful anymore
putting words in my mouth and assuming isn't the solution
i don't care if im replace cause i thought it through
you were the one who gave up on me first not me
even though i was the one that said i would let you go
but you were the one who gave me the fucking damn reason
of sports and studies to let go
my mind its cleared from obs.
fuck off troubles and don't ever come back to my life
