I thought I should use the song that always talks about being "on a boat," to go with the stories below, but 1) I didn't know the whole song or parts of it other than "I'm on a BOAAAAT." and 2) it's not a good song anyways.

Anyways, guess the song on the Subject line and get featured in the journal.

Few things I'm going to mention.
My Trip.
The Things that Bite Me.
When I act drunk.
And an important thing.

I went to the Aransas National Wildlife Refugee with the seventh and eighth graders from my school. It was a seventeen hour drive just to Rockport, Texas! We left Sunday at 3PM and arrived there Monday at noon. We left Yesterday around 3PM and arrived here about 10.00 AM.

There has been a few things that I had problems with. Misquetoes. Spelling. Wasps. and Ticks. All these things, well except for spelling, had a taste of me throughout the whole week. Well, the wasp stung me, but close enough.

On Wednesday Night, there were a LOT of raccoons around our tents. I was already half asleep, or half awake which ever, and I heard a raccoon yelp. I thought it sounded like a sneeze of a human and at that point I didn't realize it was a raccoon. I did what I would do to a human. "Bless you." |:

I never knew how much you could miss one simple thing that we over look on a daily basis. A warm bed, a nice house that keeps bugs out, and nice warm showers. I don't think I really could've made it through this week without having one big important thing, well person, in my life. God. He watched over me this week. When I got a tick, I prayed that I wouldn't get anymore ticks. The next morning, I woke up without a tick on my hand. The night I got stung by a wasp, four times, I prayed to God that I wouldn't be allergic to the wasp and I'd heal up. The next morning, my principal, also the sorta "doctor" on our trip, said that I have a really good immune system because I healed up fast. I'm glad I have God on my side.
