Tomorrow's May 1. It's a holiday because it's Labor Day. And it's also the day I leave for camp. I've already raided my closet, and my room's a mess-- with clothes strewn all over the floor. Normally, I am a tidy person, but not today.

The thing is, I dislike packing and unpacking. Camp's for three days, and I usually have a hard time with choosing what to bring and what to wear. I end up packing everything, and I can't seem to get the suitcase closed, so I have to call my mom. She helps me out by folding everything into small pieces so that they can all fit, and also minimizing the entire thing by removing a lot of items. Yup, this happens every summer; the day before camp.

I IM'ed Joaquin earlier asking if he was finished packing. He said he hadn't started yet, but I bet he's done by now. Guys have it made. All they need are a few shirts, bottoms, underwear, and toiletries, then they're all set. They pack so much faster than we girls do. After all, they really don't mind if they wear the same shirt over and over again or something. Guy thing probably.

I on the other hand refuse to wear the same outfit again the next day. I usually wait for about a week or so, and I make sure my clothes are clean. Now don't think I'm impractical. I'm not like those girls who wear their outfits ONCE then go straight to the mall with their daddy's Visa and go shopping for new clothes. It's just that I'm very hygienic, and I believe that once I wear something throughout the day, that particular outfit has probably accumulated dirt and germs-- so I dump it in the laundry hamper. That's just how I am. I have the tendency to wash my hands asap after touching something dirty (like money, doorknobs, etc).

I'm looking forward to go to camp tomorrow. The place is in Laguna, and I heard it's really great. I'm excited to play soccer with the other kids. I get to sit with Camille on the bus, and I can't wait to see my other friends. I already bought chips and snacks, and toiletries, etc. I like having the independent spirit too. I mean three whole days far away from home. I just hope I don't get homesick though. Sometimes I miss my family, and Laguna just seems so far away.

After camp, it's the start of LSC. I better do my best and do great on this one, because I don't think I did good during my previous review class.
