Dear Electra,
As a year eight (13 years old) this year, I had the chance to choose one of four camps - Waitomo Caves, Beach, Farm, or Forestry. None of the first three didn't interest me, so I selected the latter. Trust me - this camp didn't disappoint.
We spent five days there, from Monday to Friday. It was a beautiful way to cherish nature and the planet we live on. Once this Earth has decomposed, we wouldn't have another place to raise our children. We went on hikes, stayed at a waterfall, and swam in a river nearby our camp. The main highlight, as I've mentioned already in this paragraph, is understanding the beautiful creations nature can provide.
I'm actually writing about my camp experience on Marian's Everyday Life until Friday, so you can read about the shenanigans I got up to.

Letters to Electra - Final Examinations (A.K.A the main cause for stress)
12/11/14
Dear Electra,
I've missed you! I haven't written to you in one month! This November has been the busiest month of the year, consisting of final examinations, year eight camp, club meetings, and many more! I have written some letters from the past which weren't sent out to you since I didn't have time. Here they are! Hope you enjoy.

Dear Electra,
Halloween! We don't celebrate Halloween here at my school. Instead, we had a year eight speech competition. Some of the speeches presented had topics like, 'Homework should be banned,' and my favourite, 'Boys are better chefs than girls.' You're probably going to say, "Marian! Aren't you a feminist and find this sexist?" Calm down, Electra, the ending wasn't that bad. He finished with, "My nana's a good cook, and my mum's food is delicious," or something similar to that. This speech won first place equal with another guy's speech, which was about 'books are better than movies.' The second placer went to my female friend and she spoke about 'advertising and jingles,' and didn't even hesitate to use Taylor Swift as an example. (She's a die-hard Swiftie, along with my other friends.)

Dear Electra,
HAVE YOU SEEN ANY OF THE STEP UP MOVIES? They are extremely addicting to watch. If you haven't seen it, then I won't write spoilers. Each Step Up movie has their individual stories and combinations of characters. My favourite characters are Moose & Camille. You get to see both of them together in Step Ups 3 & 5. The choreography actually inspired me to dance freestyle. You should check out 'mah moves' (no, please don't. I can't actually dance (unless you include hardcore 'crumping')). My favourite Step Up movie in the 3rd one because, I don't actually know. Maybe it's the fact that Moose and Camille are both in it. Maybe...
Here are some pictures of Moose & Camille:

Dear Electra,
Athletics! Since we have health and my teacher is helping the athletics, my class & I are basically having free time and watching the competitors. I am currently sitting on top of a pillar at the place where the Three Musketeers used to hang out when we were still close. I am also watching the year eight girls' long jump and one of the girls who was participating was talking to her beau. They are, I guess, the most popular couple in our grade, because me and Gwen always see them walk around the school together. Oh no, it's about to rain and there's no shade to hide under except for my umbrella. Gotta go!
