Dec 2nd 2005 Im back from Hilltop :) [Part 1]

Woah Tom Parker, the boy that never did PE at school going to hilltop? thats simply amazing is he right in the head?

Ok so for them who does not know what hilltop is, its a outdoor centre in the middle of nowhere and looks boring to the the naked eye thats how I see it at first. The reason why I was going to hilltop was because "everyone" in my class was going that then dropped to 2… By then I had paid… even then I was still dreading it by the day we was leaving it had dropped to 1… just me all on my own I don't know ANYONE! Sounds like induction day at college all over again lol

So there I was very very pissed off sitting in the canteen on my own, I know aaron could'nt come because he was ill but I was angry because nobody else was going.. I was thinking in my brain how I could get out of it my plan was to hide till about 10 so the bus has come and gone then ring up my grandparents and say its been cancelled and pay them back with my EMA… £60 loss but I would feel safe.

Tim walked in the canteen i got up to tell him I was thinking about pulling out but it was Tim who persuaded me to come.. for that I really have to say thankyou for that.. if he just said yeah ok I would have gone home and sat infront of the PC for 3 days… nah I went on that bus I didnt know anyone and I went on that bus… for me that takes fuc|

As the bus was rolling out thought was going though my head thinking what the hell am I gonna do? My idea was to sit in the TV, bedroom, or games room for 3 days that was what I was going to do. I started to talk to the person next to me, not really keen on him but you have to talk to someone to keep sane. As we rolled in the yard I was like OH MY GOD this is so going to suck.

The bus driver backed into the yard and we was about to get off when a lady come over and said we are in the wrong spot.. so as he was reversing or pulling out he hit the fence *BANG* woah so in the end we had to get our bags out and walk where we met a person called ollie.. i think thats what his name was who assigned us our rooms! this is where I met Paul and Mark along with Dave they was my room mates.

So we got all our stuff in our room See Video (its a little choppy because i am still learning the wonders of taking a video properly lol) got all ready ect and made our way down to the games room where i finally see everyone.. lets say 30 different faceswe was was split up from our room mates and had to make even more new friends our first few tasks what ice breakers where we got to know each other.

we did all kinda of think from balancing this cane with our fingers then banging on the floor… wierd stuff! next we got our outside gear on and when to do something called crates what we had to do was bulid a tower of crates with 2 people on them and bulid it really tall once it was taller enough we rang this bell the jumped off the crates… With harnesses of course :P

We learnt how to co operate with others and how to be a team everyone in our group talked to each other no problems! ade some more friends we then went to go onto do archery (bow and arrow) I got alot of mine on target which I was pretty proud of. We had dinner in there somewhere too lol. Anyways after all that there was tea slapped in there too.. food wasn't really good but you have to think it had to spread over 30 people, but we got seconds!

After tea we watched the simpsons and then went out in the dark to play hide and seek well theres no need for me to explain what you do in that game is there? well 1 team seeked while the other 3 hid yay :P ha this girl ran into a tree!

Came in later on then watched telly walked back to the room got in bed correction on bed (no bedding because aaron didnt turn up) and got 2 hours sleep because of dave and his snoring seriously it was that bad next door and upstairs heard him thank god I get a bloody good sleep tonight!

Theres part 1 for you all :)
