Training Week

With training week behind me, I sit exhausted on my couch at home.

Quick run down of what happened between tuesday and now...

Wednesday we woke up and had CPR plus First aid training, then after lunch we were blindfolded thrown in the back of a pickup and driven off camp property. After a bit of driving we could tell we were on a really muddy road, and we got stuck. They told us to get out of the trucks, and we got to do a team building activity.

They told us our plane had crashed in the amazon and we had to decide what to do. We each got a persona, and we got to pick seven items to help us survive. With 15 people all trying to give input, it was slightly difficult. We had to tell Tyson and the other leaders exactly what we would do. For example, we decided to make camp, but that isn't specific enough. So, we had to say that we were going to use our lighter to get a fire going and then we were going to sleep. It got kinda ridiculous. Anyway...so we did that trying to survive, all the while trying to walk in heinously muddy shoes. Not to mention it started raining. We did eventually make it back to camp, tired, hungry, exhausted, frustrated, and discouraged. But our group discussion of the game later that night revealed that we actually did well.

I honestly can't remember what happened thursday and Friday, but it was a good ol time and I'm ready to crash.
