Live loose, don't lose!

Only twenty students can go climbing half dome today.



But they also planned other short round hikes for other studnets.

So we still got up in the morning and luckily we met a group of beautiful creatures,



They are so beautiful and I'm surprised that they are not afraid of human beings.

It's the first time I can see this wildlife so far.

On the way of the hike we saw people riding horses in the forest, which I think it should be a good memory.

And the view of this valley is gorgeous.



It simply makes one marvel at the Nature.

We picniced at noon.

And we find another cute animal here.



They are so cute that we couldn't help but attracted them with food.....it's illeagal and not good to them, though.



I punished myself for braking the rule XD



And I ate so many things here without buying it on my own since other students just bought to many than they can afford.

But for the fact that some are made of beef, I think I could eat more!! XD

I think the short hike is a little bit boring actually, I think I should have singed up for Half Dome to challenge myself and have a memory of the landmark of Yosemite!!!

After lunch we went back and we went playing water at a river near by the curry village.

In addition to playing water, I became professional photographer here and took several beautiful pictures.



Despite they are originally beautiful, I believed I made them look even better^___^

But Kazuki was really in a bad luck here.

Since he arrived late, we planned to throw him into the river.

However, Rosa threw him in without letting him having time to put those valuable things away.

So Kazuki ended up ruining his digital camera and got his wallet totally wet.



But Kazuki is really a nice person that he agreed to forgive Rosa with a free meal only.

How generous he is!!!

Chiao also joined us in the afternoon since she gave up halfway to half dome with other Taiwanese girls.

And we played a game that the loser will be splashed and can't evade the water.

Rosa and I played the game that the loser had to walk a step toward the middle of the river again here.

But it ended up that both of us went across the river and went back!! XD

And tonight we went stargazing again!!

But with the experience yesterday, I brought a blanket!!!

But it's still kind of cold even though two other girls and I shared two blankets(another is sponsored by Xxavier!!)

After going back to our tents, tonight we had a talk that was about "Kazuki's bother."

What we talked during the meeting is top secret so I can't put it here.

But something interesting happened here.

During the talk, we heard a strange noise.

And we thought it was made by bears since we had been warmed about bears in Yosemite National Park long before and the sounds was really scaring.

So Chris jumped up and locked the door.

However, we found it was simply one someone snoring after we looked out the window and found Naoko and Tasuku were sitting outside chatting.

But the snoring is really scary- American size XD

After the long talk, we headed back to our own tent.

However, I had a special plan tonight.

It's my volunteer special presentation which I think I put more effort on than the final presentation in the EC class.



It's a presentation I spent a long time preparing for it.

And tonight is just time to make it!!

However, I just got an "F" at it.......

Of course kind of disappointed, but that's actually not out of my expectation that much.......

But it's about doing what I want to do, telling out what's inside my mind.

After the final special presentation, I went back to my tent and fell asleep soon.
