My Overnight

My Overnight

Have you ever experience an overnight inside your school campus? Do you find it fun or boring? Do you feel happy or sleepy during this kind of event? You know, I just want you to share my experience during my first overnight inside our school campus.

During our Science class on February 8, 2007, Ate Theresa announced to all First year Bartlett that there will be an overnight for all stargazers and non-stargazers on February 9, 2007 from 7:00pm to 6:00 am together with Mr. Go. At that moment, I was very happy because it was my first time to experience an overnight. I joyfully went home. When I arrived at my, I directly finished my assignment then after it, I waited for my father to ask permission. When father arrived, I directly ask permission to my father that I would like to join the overnight. At my first attempt in asking permission, he does not want me to join the activity and besides I will have a problem in my schedule. I was really in despair.

On February 9, 2007, I arrived in the school sad with a sad face. I was very sad because it was my first time to experience and overnight and I have missed that chance in my life and if I joined this activity, their will be a problem in my schedule because their will be a make-up class in Computer on Saturday, February 10, 2007 from 8:00am to 10:00 am and I cannot go home because our house is in Consolacion and I think it takes 2 hours to travel in there.

When I arrived at home, I tried my second attempt to ask permission, at that time, my father allowed me to join the activity. I was happy but it was too late because I forgot to copy the things to be brought in the overnight ahead of time. So I just think what things should be brought in an overnight? Hmm… I think a mat, a pillow, a blanket, an extra shirt and a 100 peso bill would be needed in the overnight. So after I studied my lessons, I directly prepared the things I needed in the overnight. In the morning at the school, I cheerfully participated in the class then after classes, my father delivered my things and he gave me the 100 peso bill. But before the overnight, I first ate my dinner because when the overnight started, you are not allowed to go out the school campus.

During 7:00pm, the overnight started and I was very excited, we combined all our mats. Then we talked to each other happily. When Madam Gallo arrived, she told us to go to the LEADER for some discussions of Mr. Go. After the discussion, Madam Gallo called us to help her fixed the telescope and to gazed the night sky. Instead of gazing the sky, we just talked and played to each other and the other year levels watched the movie in the LEADER. I just played with my classmates and made some funny jokes. After playing and talking to each other, my other classmates where knockdown. After sometime, I got asleep too except for Paolo and Gerardo who where both noisy. I thought those to have no plans of sleeping early. Most of my classmates slept early because their will be a make-up class in Computer.

On February 10, 2007 in the morning, I gladly woke up and I directly brushed my teeth and washed my face together with Paolo. When my other classmate has already waked, I greeted them in the morning. That was really a nice overnight for me.
