OMG!!! It has been 17 days since I posted something
here. I really missed to write every single experience that I passed here but I
could not since I had lot of assignments that takes time to finish especially
ESL assignment. Let me share what I have done since last two weeks.
On 15 of October, I went to the Girls Retreat with all the girls in my group (CCIP group) who are in Arizona. We went there with our best Project Coordinator, Allison and also Janelle Hoffman, one of our lecturers at Scottsdale Community College. We left on Friday, and it took about 2 hours driving. But before we went to Janelle's cabin, we did hiking near Payson. It was really fun because Tahira (Pakistani), Gamze (Turkish), Nayla (Brazilian) and I tried to catch crayfish on the small river. At the first Tahira and Gamze tried but they did not get any crayfish because they were scared of the fish. Then I cam and tried to catch it, and guess how much I got? I cought about ten crayfish :D LOL!! It reminded me about my childhood that I spent in Pasokan when I used to catch small fish near the ocean, I really miss it (Wish I can go back to my childhood and play on the river and ocean LOL).

When I got the crayfish, I scared Tahira and Gamze with the Crayfish by holding
it and showed them in front of their faces. Gamze and Tahira screamed a lot
when I did that, really funny, I should have taken the pictures when they
screamed and looked scared. After spending few hours there, we decided to go
back and go to Janelle's cabin which was really beautiful place to live in. She
has a big cabin with complete properties. I wish I would have that kind of
cabin in my future :D LOL. We took all our stuffs from the car to her cabin and
made the beds for us. After that we went to see lamas, a cute South American
Camelid which almost look like camel. Here is the picture
we spent about 1 hour there, of
course we did not forget to take pictures :D
after that we went to the Indian
oldest school, I forgot the name. This is my weakness, I am really bad in
remembering the name of place. After that we drove back to Janel's house and we
curved the pumpkin. It was actually my first pumpkin curving. here is the pict
of my pumpkin:
my first curving pumpkin. Isn't it scary? LOL
I like to curve it although it
was lil bit difficult to do it. I think it took about 1 hour for me to
get done with it because I needed to draw the line of the head, the eyes
and the mouth. While Nayla, Tahira Gamze and I curved the pumpkins,
Allison helped Janel to made pasta and by the time we were done with
pumpkins, the pasta was ready on the table. I catually had never eaten
pasta before, because I did not like it, but that time I ate it and it
was not that bad :) it was just like eating Indomie, the different is
Indomie is smaller than Pasta noodles and Indomie is of course more
delicious for me LOL. We were done with dinner around 9 PM then we
played a game which is called What Were You Thinking? the game was not
about who answer correctly but it was about to see whether we think the
same or imagine the same as other players think. It was really fun. We
played two games actually that night, another game was Pakistani Games
which Tahira introduced to us few months ago. We played with forks and
cards. Basically, there will be 4 same cards that a person will get, and
she or he gets the same four cards, for example 4 queen cards, the
person should take a fork silently and calmly, and after that other
players will take the forkss or spoon and of course one person will get
nothing because the spoons or the forks that we use to play should be
one less than the players. That is one of my favorite games. Around 10, I
took shower and tried to do my homework from ESL class (it was a
difficult time for me and my friends). Then I slept around 12.30 AM and
had to wake up at 8 because we planned to leave Janel's cabin around 10
AM. In the morning, we woke up around 8 and we headed back to Scottsdale
(the city where I live) around 10 and on our way back home, we had
delicious breakfast at the restaurant. Janel treated us. She is really
amazing and kind woman, I am really so excited for the next semester
subjects that I will take because she will be my professor in those two
classes; Marketing and Hotel Industry, YAY!!!
Anyway, that is my story that I had in the Girls Retreat.
Now I feel so tired, I have to get rest before starting my assignments.
