When I went to Nanbeihu I was absolutely nervous. Not only because I was leaving my parents, but because I was going to be with people who I am not very close to. Luckily I had been put in a room with two of my best friends, Su Wen
and Morgan. So I knew I would be safe...at least at night. But I was not so sure about daytime. We had not even found out who was going to be in our day groups. Ms. Randall, my teacher, had told us we would probably not be with our roommates or other close friends. They wanted us to learn how to get along with other people who were not our close friends and work 
as a team. The bus ride, which was two hours, went by so quickly and before I knew it we were there.

Then he said "It's time to find out who will be in your day groups". The seventh group was mine. He said, "Emily, Jasmine, Claire, Min Su, Dorothy, Katie (that's me), Samuel, 
Marcus, Patrick, Kai Tung, Oliver and Luna will be in Group Yellow". I was worried SICK! Marcus was my enemy! Emily was my nemasis! Samuel and Patrick were Marcus' friends, which by association makes them my enemies, too! Kai Tung and Oliver...well they're just plain silly. Afterwards, we were allowed an hour in our rooms to get settled and change clothes for 
our first activity, which surprised me because my first activity was hiking. Our hike turned out to be climbing up a mountain. It was painful, tiring yet enjoyable because when we got to the top of the mountain I took some pictures of the amazing scenery. I almost lost my hat because the wind was blowing so hard. Finally, we got back down the mountain. Going down wasn't any 
easier because we had to be very careful, which I wasn't. I fell and skinned my knee, but I wasn't the only one.
