Monday Ceci....Well today monday, most of the girls woke up early including me. I guess we were all excited to get started on our first day. Then, we ate breakfast and talked until it was time to head to class. Our first class was Environmental Science. We had to wear these funky suits, masks, and gloves. We all had a blast and laughed. Now, starting this website with Erandi is a new and interesting experience. After lunch we had a scavenger hunt. Everybody was runing around. I think the team I was in was in last place, but that didn't matter because it was fun! Then, we went to YOOOOOGA....it was a VERY  new experience....man my back hurts.:) Well, then we had time to either play soccer or kickball. OBVIOUSLY  I chose to play soccer. I miss going to soccer practice. After playing we had dinner...finaly we were there before the CSI students, so we got first choice on the food. Then, came ZOOOOMBA.  At first  it was a little hard, but then it was FUN. After ZOOOMBA came painting our flower pots.FINALLY......came SWIMMING. We all had a blast in the swimming pool. Well today was an awesome day. It feels like we all know each other for more than just one day. We are all having a BLAST!!!

Erandi...I was nervous starting out my first day at the Latina Summer Academy, but it was a blast! After breakfast, we 2 classes, science and technology.  Both of these focused on improving our environment and trying to make the earth cleaner and healthier.  The rest of the day was filled with fun activities such as a scavenger hunt, swimming, playing soccer, zumba dancing and yoga.

Tuesday Ceci...well first was breakfast then we had science first. After science we went to technology class. Then we went to CHALKO. I thought I didn't know were it was, but when we got there I realized I did. FINNALLLLYYYYY we came back we were all thankful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a hour break then we went off to dinner. After dinner we had YOOOOGA.....man my back hurts. Then our pillow talk?? got canceled so we went and saw Juana's presentation..We had about 3 hours before kuote un kuote lights out time. Man today was a blast and it didn't end till about 2 IN DA MORNING!!!:)

Erandi...so when we finshed breakfast today, we headed straight for the classes.  Science class was more like art class that day.  We painted these boards that are gonna be recycling things, then we made necklaces out of recycled pop cans, it was kinda hard because the can was hard and it cut my fingers.  Today was the day we went to Chalco hills.  I love going there because that is where I had many of my cross country meets.  Everybody was really tired though.  We took a hike and learned about many of the wildlife.  We also got to see a deer!!  When we finally got back,  we had a break, then dinner.  After we ate, we did some more yoga and then saw a presentation about pollution.  It really opened my eyes to the harmful things we are doing to our planet.  Later that night, we hung out in my friend's room until we fell asleep.

Wednesday Erandi... Today was such a cool experience.  We all went to the zoo and got a special behind the scene showing.  The zoo worker showed us ABOVE and BELOW the aquarium, instead of the regular tunnel.  It was amazing,  I was standing so close to the sharks and other fish!!!  We also got to see the tigers while they were in the basement waiting to be put up on display.  After dinner, there was a tornado siren!!  So we had to go to the basement for the rest of the night!! It was so booooring.  But finally, afterwards, we got relax time until we went to bed:).

CECI........After breakfast we went to our classes. They are so fun and unexpected. Then we went to the ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! We were lucky enough to get to see the behind the scenes stuff. We saw the giraffes and the tigers in their homes. Then we had an ice cream cone while talking about random stuff. We came and had dinner. Well while we were having a lovely conversation the tornado sirens started going off. So then came the horrible part....we spent like 3 Whole hours or maybe even more in the basement because of the dumb tornado. Some ladies from different colleges where there and they told us about all of the opportunities available. Then finnaaaaallllyyyy we went to our rooms upstairs. We had a Blast!!

Thursday Erandi.....today in t he morning we went to both of our classes to continue what we have been doing the whole week. I was so excited to go to the cruise, but we couldn't go because of the logs in the river. Even though the cruise was canceled we still went to eat lunch. It was fun....the fountain was pretty. We came back and took a self-defense class. After that we had a pizza party.....I ate too much. We had our last Sleep over because tonight is the last night. We had a blast until midnight came.

Ceci.....We went to breakfast...then to our classes....then to the cruise, but it got cancelled so we just went to the park to eat. We took piktures and went to the bridge and saw the logs that were floating VERRY rappidly. Then we took the self defense class. I learned a mooooove to DEFEND myself. Then we had a PIZZZZZA PARTY. Then each group did a skit. It was all fun...!!!!:)
