I thought it was about time I told y'all about my trip to Ardroy.
so we left at 9-ish, drove for a few hours, stopped at McDonalds to stretch off then did the last leg of the journey and made it for lunch.
After unpacking and the likes, we did Jacobs Ladder, which is beams of wood, suspended with bigger gas between them. our aim- to get as many in our group of four to the top- without the ropes. One team got three, one got two, and our team got two to the top, with me and another on the rung below. It was tiring, but really fun. Then we had dinner and did team building and activities to bring us together and make us think. My favourite one was the balance table. it was a circle of wood balanced on a tennis ball... on a stand thing... and we had to remove a babies toy from this tilting table... piece at a time. We did it- without toppling it or anything.
The next day, we absailed down a crag and attempted to climb it again, then did caving- which was fun watching everyone squeeze through the small gaps and stuff. That night was Earth Hour, so we had a campfire and eat marshmallows. The other group did a night abseil, which looked amazing, even though we were the other side of the loch almost, we could see their torches.
The Day after was our Exped, which we did a 14km walk, I tumbled 104ft down a hill and staved my finger, then we got to the camp, set up and started the fire. I went to bed before everyone, because i was worn out. Our instructor woke me up around 1, for concussion checks. We all woke up, packed up and did a beach clean before getting picked up by another instructor to take us back to the Centre.
We all showered etc. before lunch, unpacked bags and stuff, then we lounged around for a bit before doing Rock-climbing.
The day after, we packed, had lunch then we split into two groups, one going Kayaking, the other (my group) doing archery, the Labyrinth(a maze they built going down the hill) and the low ropes, before we had dinner and left.
Ardroy was really fun, I love going there (i've been before with Primary) And got to know so many people in my school. Everyone was so understanding and helpful after my tumble, (walking with me (slowly) asking how I was.) And we had a laugh on our Exped. I can't wait for next year, when I plan on going again, because it's an amazing experience, and even if I dont go next year, I aim to 5/6th year!
John Muir, the group I went with is also amazing, we learn so many new skills, what is around and where to find things. I love all the activities we do, Fire building, coppusing(?), tubing trees, clearing room for deer fences and new trees and team building. It puts you in an environment you're not normally in, you get to meet others in your school/area and have a laugh. It's a volunteer thing, which gives you new skills and experiences (not often can you say "last weekend I felled a tree and cut it up") And is actually quite fun.
Thanks if you read through my journal, I enjoy what I have written about, and it means a lot to me that you read it. feel free to comment!

The new me.
If any of you have recently checked my page, you may have thought I had given this account away to someone new.
But I haven't.
So Hi, my name is Maeson, I'm 16 years old and I draw, write and am getting into photography. I am just about to start 5th year at school, and in two days time I'm going to be canoeing along the Union canal for my bronze Duke of Edinburgh. I have recently been diagnosed with Visual Stress, and am undergoing assessment for Dyscalculia. I love Big Hero 6, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and Twenty One Pilots.
I may start uploading work again quite soon, but it's dependent on time and energy levels.
Hey
Hello. Hi.
So I might never get back into DA again.
I much prefer Tumblr (note me for my new one)
but I won't delete my account- too much good stuff I no longer have the originals of.
I'm injured again- suspect broken pinky. left hand.
In the midst of my exams too.
I might? I don't know, it depends on what I do.
My life has had to dodge some curve balls lately.
And my career choice has changed, and I might pursue art. I might pursue Music Journalism.
Maybe I'll come back one day, and we'll start again. Fresh Page.
blegh
I feel like I wanna cry, binge on SPN and sleep.
I could watch SPN...
I'm on Season 8 now ^.^
I lost the ability to just cry a while back.
And sleeping well is a weird (but wonderful) idea that only happens every so often.
I'm lucky if I can fall asleep before 12am, and even with 8+ hours, I feel like I've slept two.
Going to see Big Hero 6 tomorrow with my little sister. There's an advanced screening at like, 10:30.
I'm just gonna sleep now.
tbh, I can't watch SPN at this time anyway. What little sleep I feel I get will be shortened. Curse my over-active imagination.
I'll just read for a bit.
this post is a mess.
ach well, ever
well, here's to the new year.
One things I'm going to work hard on this year= loving myself for who i am.
I'm gonna drop the people who dislike me and cause me issues, spend more time doing things like art and writing, and keep my room a little more organized.
This is where there'd be a 'get fitter' or 'go to the gym' but tbh, i might be 'tubby' or whatever, but i think i'm fine, and i'm working on that thought.
also, spending less time worrying about my exams and future. we understand what's messing me up now, it's just figuring out how we treat it.
Actually studying. not procrastinating.
going to bed before midnight- even if it means having something lavander-y, or
