June 9th Mon.	Breakfast was eggs and bacon. Ah, the breakfast of champions! Learned: the wonders of the landfill, and we were put to the challenge to write down what we toss, but we had to wear a mask, gloves and a safety suit because the "air quality is very unhealthy." Lunch was Chicken fingers, and we got to eat with Latina Spokeswomen (ours was Christina Fernandez, a pediatrician). They had a lot of interesting topics to discuss. We searched through the college with teams in a scavenger hunt Yoga got us all stretched out, but calmed down with meditation. Played Kickball/Soccer with CSI camp Zumba (like Salsa dancing) was painful, but we got to relax while painting pots And of course we got a full hour swimming in the campus pool. Yay! water-themed sports!!! In the end we got to unwind at our dorms. Yawn....
June 10th Tue.	Breakfast: eggs, sausage, and doughnuts. Mmmm, doughnuts.... We got to take a group photo in our new CSM t-shirts. We even got to do a couple funny photos, too. We went to Chalco Hills, where we took a little hike. We saw a couple doe on the trail. When we got back, we got to relax, where we straightened our friend's hair. (I'll give you a hint: JOSE, I miss you Dad. And you too Mom.) Dinner was some good 'ole corndogs Yoga came again, but it didn't hurt as much as the other day. We sat down for a small power point, and a 20 min. presentation. Lastly, before heading to bed, we talked about pranks we did to another. It was enjoyable.
June 11th Wed.	It seems that our classes were shorter, and so was lunch. All leading up to our marvelous trip to the Henry Doorly Zoo. Since we were special guests, we got to go "behind the scenes" and into the "employees only" doors. We enjoyed it all, but we didn't even see a 1/4 of the actual park. Why, because it was GIGANTO!!! Still, we were less then a foot away from a giraffe's face. It all depends on your point of view, I guess. We got back and relaxed for a while, and ate dinner. Around the end of dinner, a Tornado Warning was issued, so we evacuated to the basements. It was then we traveled through the underground tunnels to the dorms. They were cool and all, but we were crammed together. At least we got to still have our College and Careers Panel. But there was no swimming TT^TT. After heading back to the dorms, after the storm, we relaxed, again, then we went to bed.
June 12th Thur.	The highlight for the day was "suppose" to be a river cruise on the Missouri, but since the tornado last night, and trees are floating down the river, we couldn't go, for safety reasons. So, we went to the Hartland Park, where we ate lunch with Latina women. All had their own interesting stories. We got to relax more, then we took a little "self-defense." They really knew their stuff, but what can we say: their the Senseis (teachers). They taught us all so much on some Tai Kwon Do. Then we got to enjoy time working on the sites, then we got to have a PIZZA PARTY! Mamamia! Finally, more relaxing, then bed.
June 13th Fri.	Today, we just had to work on finishing our websites, and everything. So far, things have been ok. There's really not much to put in this journal, but there's really not much to say, except that we have to do our cruise today, since they canceled it last time.
