What the Stars and the Sky Tell Me About Life

Dear Diary,
I'm very busy today.I'm preparing for our overnight activity in our school. While doing an experiment in the AS Grounds, I saw some wood nearby and thought of the idea of making it the skeleton of our tent. My classmate and I agreed that we would do a man- made tent. She would bring a mat for the roof of the tent and I would bring ropes to tie the woods together. After our class, I immediately went home to prepare for tie things I would use for the overnight. I brought a mat, a sweater, a blanket & a pillow because they said it is very cold during the night. I also brought the materials for our tent like for example the rope,hammer, etc. I ate my supper at 5:30 PM. That was the earliest time that I ate my supper. after that, I bid goodbye to my sister and immediately went back to school. Because of my excitement, I forgot to bring my parent's permit. I only discovered it when I reached to school. I went back back to our house and got it. When I arrived at the school, I was bored because my classmates didn't arrive yet. Later on, my two classmates, Helena and Ernestine, approached me. Instead of being happy, I became bored because they are not my close friends and I felt out of place or OP. I became happy when my classmate, Therese, whom agreed to help me build the tent, came. She brought a rope and a mat. I thought she would bring a big mat but she only brought a small one. I was very disappointed. I made the tent alone. She helped me a little bit but it was me who worked hard for it. Once the skeleton stood up, I immediately put the mat on it and tied it on the nail which I hammered on the ground. Finally, the tent was complete. I was very happy because that was the fruit of my hard work. When I was doing that, my classmates laughed at me. I almost got angry but instead of feeling discourage, I continued to work because if I fail, they would laugh at me. After I finished it, I rest at it because I was very tired doing it. Later, my classmates entered in the tent to join me and said that I was very creative and hard working. The night was cold and windy. The wind was so strong and my tent almost flew. My classmates laughed. I also laughed with them because it was so funny. Mme. Gallo called and gathered us at the Leader where Mr. Christopher Go was waiting. We had a lecture about his discovery of the red spot junior in Jupiter. After the lecture, we had a picture- taking with him. After that, we watched the horror movie " Shutter ". It was very scary. All of us shouted when Natre, the ghost, appeared on the screen. Sir Elmer Montejo entered in the Leader and joined us. He was hugging a pillow with w bear on it. Mme. Gallo stopped the movie because our shouts could disturb the neighbors. Ate Gabby replaced it with Princess Hours. for me, it was very boring so I went back to the tent and slept. I woke up at 3:00AM because they said it was raining. I continued to sleep and I woke up at 5:30AM. I fixed my things and combed my hair. On 6:00AM, we had a picture-taking on the stage and after that we went home.
