CAMP MATH!!!

Hey!

school is very stressful. can you believe that? and for what reason did i just say that? it is simply because of so much requirements that we are required to submit this month of August days just after the exams! i mean... c'mon! we all have the right to rest, right?!? but i don't blame them. they said that they always lack time for everything that's why we will always have homework, projects and lots more right after every quarterly exam... it's good to know that there is a day that i would always look forward to... and that would be all the four saturdays of August starting from the 8th... wanna know why? then read this...

every saturday, we, students appointed by math teachers, go to what Ateneo calls Camp Math XVI. based on what it is called, obviously, it is a camp all about math. in know you may think only nerds go there. but just so you know, you thought wrong! yes, there can be nerds but i am classified somewhere in the middle of nerds and non-nerds. i don't know what people call us but we are not nerds! to be honest, only half of the day is spent in math activities. the rest of the day is about team building and collecting stickers. that's about it.

i consider it as an escape route, away from the stress world of school because it has nothing to do with school. i meet new people particularly students whose ages are more or less the same as mine. so it's a different set of faces every saturday depending on who's going to sit next to you, and the atmosphere is way too different compared to our school. i am more relaxed and collected when i attend math camp. i don't have to worry about anything except making new friends which is very easy for me (even though the friendship that i had on the first two saturdays were not the same). that's what makes it so exciting. you have a new different friend every saturday. though i wasn't able get information on how i can communicate with them even when we don't see each other, we still say "hi" to each other when we walk the halls of ateneo (at least during the day when we meet for the camp, of course) we may have a homework in the camp as well as at school but the homework there are a lot easier than what is given to us at school!

because of these reasons, i want to extend math camp until september... but i can't do that. so during the last day, i will want to get their contact information so i can still have connections with the campmath group even though the four sessions are over.

now, all i can say is, i can't wait till saturday comes! it will be our third meeting this saturday, unfortunately. it is our second to the last session. i hope it will be as fun as the first two sessions!

well, that's it! something that i have been looking forward to. it's sad that it has an end. but i know it will be replaced with something better. but i don't know what's going to happen after the camp so let's just see...

CAN"T WAIT FOR THE FUTURE!!!!!
