OAC Day 3

Worst day of all three days, but still fun I would guess. Worst of the best. How bad can it be? There were no activities arranged for us today. Instead we spent the entire time, or almost 75% of the time cleaning up. Since we had finished all our outdoor cooking sessions, we were able to finish breakfast early. Not a good thing at all.

When we woke up and met with our instructors, we were told that we would be cleaning the dining hall. What a relief, at least it's not the toilet. So we ate breakfast heartily. Who knew, after we had breakfast, one of the leaders came and told us to clean the toilets. Oh well we didn't make a fuss about it as we were all sporty people. We cleaned and cleaned, quite having fun as well splashing water and screaming at the sight of cockroaches. After some time, the toilets were cleaned to the satisfaction of the leaders. We thought we were done for the day but again, who knew, we were then asked to clean the dining hall.

This was met with confusion, because we thought that there was a miscommunication among the instructors and leaders and we were indeed assigned to clean the toilets. So what were we doing cleaning the dining hall then? Nevertheless we still wiped the tables and chairs, lift the chairs onto the table, arrange the tables, swept the floor blah blah. Until the other class who had outdoor cooking finished their breakfast. Their instructor asked them to start cleaning the dining hall. I stared at her with disbelief. What? We just cleaned it! Was she trying to insult our bad cleaning or what?

So that other class began sweeping the floor, when we clearly had just finished sweeping it. We were unhappy about it. Now they asked both classes to arrange the tables together. We stood to our grounds and did not want to budge. The other class, seeing us stationary, decided not to do anything either. My friend even overheard someone saying since they (referring to us) had been cleaning, why not just let them continue cleaning? After seeing this 'commotion', the instructor decided that they should just let us rest. Finally one sensible thing they did. In the end we found out that the other class was supposed to clean the toilets but because they were still eating, my class was instructed to do so. They escaped a much worse chore and are still here complaining? I was aghast.

After that we were lazing about, then packed up and left Labrador Camp Site. After a short debrief back at school, we were dismissed. I had post camp sickness after that. My legs were itching to climb things, and I developed some rashes. All in all, I really enjoyed the whole course of the camp.
