Don't worry, I didn't die. :) Although, that trip was certainly interesting enough. This one girl got thrown out of the raft in the worst part of the river. The part nicknamed "The Meat Grinder," because of all of the sharp rocks that tear people up a lot. Another girl got thrown off and sucked underneathe the raft. Everyone, except the people in her raft, saw where she went. She was beating on the underside, they just didn't hear her. Luckily, they got her up in time.
I wouldn't ever tell them this, but if I had been in their places, I wouldn't have handled it that well. I would have freaked out or something. They didn't freak out, at least not much. I don't think that I could have done that.
So I haven't posted in a week..because..hmm, your guess is as good as mine.
We won our football game this past Friday. It was the first one of the regular season. We were playing one of the only two teams that beat us last year. We clobbered them, 56 to 13. We even got a story on the front page of the
newspaper. It's pretty cool. They didn't mention the band, but they never do anyway. Plus, they didn't have any reason to. It was just the Pep band..(which I happen to be a member of). Everything went fine that night, except obviously some stupid people from their side decided they didn't like how the score looked..so they decided to take it out on the band. Wonderful. Someone, or some group of people started throwing rocks our way from behind the stands. Oh well. No one was hurt, so it doesn't matter, I guess.
