Deir el qamar

Have you ever went on a camping trip , a two hour hike, 30 minutes of sleep , and fairuz songs all night …..?! I did , and this is how it went , so stay tuned …

On the bus we were waiting to get to Deir el Qamar while we were watching Lion King 3.
Then we got to the place and had a small snack called Turkish Delight. Then Iad , Dani , Taha and I set up our tent for the night. After that we went to the activity center and we played capture the Flag .There was a lot of complaining like “ No that was our point “, and some like “ you cheated “.
After that we went for a two hour hike , I was dying the first 10 minutes then I got used to it and it was really fun .
On our return we had another round of Turkish delight( we only had two and they were good ).
We had a 30 minutes break to ourselves , we wasted it playing hide and seek . Then it was time for us to go back to the activity center where we played ski : a game with wooden rectangles and rope on sand .
We gathered wood and put it on fire, and went back to have our dinner . We had a chicken sandwich .

After dinner we gathered around the fireplace we fixed and coach Wissam told us a story . After that it was time to sleep . We tried but the fairuz songs kept waking us up . Sleeping in our sleeping bags inside the tent was fun .
The next morning we had our mankoushe breakfast and went to the activity center once more and played games . One was Archery , the other was Blocks , and the third was Cable .

After all the fun , we had to put down our tents , pack our stuff and go on the bus.

We ended our trip watching Lion King 3 .

My Blood Journey
I am a drop of blood and I revolve around the circulatory system, but now I will show you how I get cleaned.

La la la la la la laaaaaah, why am I going down! Why the superior vena cava why not inferior, whyyy. Where am I, the right atrium! Here we go… aaaahhhhh. Really you have to make me bump into the septum!

I’m being shoved into the tricuspid valve! Oh I think my teacher told me about this place… oh yeah this is the right ventricle, ow you’re pumping me up, oooh a vein wait this is an artery!

I still can’t believe I’m in an artery, I’m deoxygenated. Now I’m in the lungs. Why am I still going up? Cool teeth, ew they’re yellow. Ugh! I’m so disgusted. Oh, I just exhaled and inhaled, now I’m clean, thank heavens. And I’m going down again. Now I’m in the lungs again.
I’m in the pulmonary vein being sent into the left atrium. Noooo the mitral valve?! Finally done with the valves first tricuspid then mitral. No up to the a a a oh yeah aorta now I’m going out. Now I have to get dirty again. This took one minute and I have to do it again, ai yai yai.

Afkah

By Gilles

One Saturday, Marc came over to my house. I showed him around, then he said, “Gilles, let’s play Wii.” I said, “O.K.” We set the game up and played the tennis game 8 times. Marc won once and I won the rest of the games. After we finished playing the game, we felt thirsty and wanted something to drink, so we decided to go to a place called Dekkaneh, which is a grocery store, and bought a drink called Freez. The flavor was Blue Hawaii. We also bought some candy called Nerds.

After having a break, we went back and started to play a soccer game called Penalties. This time, Marc won 7 times and I won once, which is the opposite of our first game. Marc and I decided to make up a game and call it AFKAH! To play Afkah you have to be either lying down, on your knees, or sitting like you do in school. One person is the goal keeper and the other person shoots. You have to try to score, and if you score you become the next goalie. If you miss while the goalie is on the floor it’s out and we say, “Afkah!” This was a special game because I decided on the name and Marc and I made up the rules.

We played Afkah for five hours. I was lying down, Marc shot the ball and it went over the bar that we made so high. I called him “AFKAH,” which is the name of the game. This is what we should say when we have a big miss. We decided to stop playing for a while and watch a movie on Disney called Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam. After the movie was done, we went back to play Wii.

Marc ‘s dad wanted to pick him up , so he gave him one more minute to finish the game. We finished, but kept on playing till Marc really had to go.
