okay so we (me n my group) had to build a raft using wooden planks, barrels and lots of blue rope...so hannah and annie volunteered to go on teh raft first but it didnt work so they ended up sinking!it was so funny we had to test it in this lake thing it was so dirty and hannah kept on sinking further and furhter and lee (our instructor for that day) kep flicking water on them and they go so pissed off...me being the nice person i am volunteered for the second pair to go on but after seeing hannah and annie me and gabby (my friend who volunteerred with me) made a huge fuss becuase we didnt want to get in so i slipped on the bank and hit my back on a rock and lee was yelling at me for ebing so careless...in the end we got on but we made lee put his paddle away and then gabby decdied to use me as a raft os i wouldnt sink but i got soaked it was really funny and i was swearing so bloody much and when gabby got out she ended up slipping on the bank and got completely soaked...!and i was rahter dry and becuase i was swearing lee was like language and he was like next time u swear it's goin in a swear jar!haha!
