The Negative Blog

Today, I noticed that 9 of the 13 boys and all but one of the girls brought a phone. And my mom told me that Mrs. Reyes said in her email to not bring phones! Chapel is really boring. Each song is bilingual, so they are like 10 minutes long and we have to sing 3 of them. That's 30 minutes of standing! Charlie keeps playing Fetty Wap and I can't listen to my own music because I didn't bring any device. I've spend at least 2 hours doing nothing. Even blitz ball isn't fun.

 Our work was painting. First, as I bent down to get more paint, a Lillie turned around swinging her arms getting paint in my hair. Then Connor was painting too vigorously and splashed paint all over my hair again. The milk tastes like corn and the meals are all small and watery at night. We did scary stories with Charlie kept getting jumpscared, running away and pausing it, so we only got through one story in the whole hour.

After lunch, Liana tricked me into thinking that I had left my backpack in Chick-fil-A, wasting almost 10 minutes. While we crossed the border into Mexico, Olive's Stanley spilled in the van. On my shoes. To make it worse, it was not water, but iced tea, or as she called it, iced pee . Then, our van broke down, leaving us stranded. We ended up being late by an hour, and as a result, I was unable to choose where to sleep and I hade to be above Mr. G. He was really mean and shook the bed a lot. The mattresses were so thin that it felt like sleeping on a carpet.
