Energy camp : strangers (part 1)

Hello,
sorry that i haven't been posting in a while. I joined this energy camp held by Pertamina and PKPU. it was on 18-20 june 2014. To be honest before i went there i was worried and terrified. I'm worried how's the place is gonna be, and the friends and so many things. You see, here i don't know who am i gonna share my room because this camp will be attended by people from different school who is chosen. The chosen one need to be able to socialize, understand about environment problems and of course care about nature. So the people that is chosen commonly come from Green Generation, Sobat Borneo and other nature lover community.I did not expect that the member of this camp is commonly grown ups which is in 8 grade and in high school. Pity me, i am the the youngest one in my group which is dominated with high school students. My group name is Geothermal and it have 10 members in it. Any way let's stop the chit-chat and move on to my first day ever in this camp, the day i started a wonderful memory :

First day (18-20 june 2014) : Fascinating strangers
      i went to the place that we will gather and get ready to head to Lamin Etam Ambors km 28 , a kind of forest and camping land. As i got there i found Yasmin, my only friend for a while and started chatting. we both encourage our self to socialize as soon as we got here " Come on socialize !" said yasmin " you go first" we both argue about who will socialize first but none of us did it, until we were forced to went in a different bus based on our team. Her team was Cassava team. It was like the first days of school. Struggling to search for a seat, awkward stares and some other things. Thank God a senior asked me to sit next to her. from that moment on everything seems fine actually. We laugh and take selfies. But we still didn't know each other names. we arrived there and went to our place to sleep for the next 3 days. So we all rushed in through a long hallway packed with beds and it's only divided with a wall with no doors. unfortunately me, Yasmin and... oh yeah the senior in the bus name is Majareha, kak Majareha got the last part of the hallway, the part closest to the forest, which is pretty scary. But as we sat and relaxed we were forced to move to the front part of the hallway. I got to know kak Majareha better and i know the name of the leader, and some other senior boys and girls, so far so good. After unpacking and putting my clothes on a locker, we got a material about nature problems. Seriously at that time i was both excited and sleepy. Suddenly a shocking news woke me up from my daydream, my group has got to have a funny drama about environment and we got to construct the whole drama in less than 2 hours! I know that me myself is not quite funny, actually i am the type of the serious and less crazy one. At the night we construct the drama and someone say " why don't we just say it out loud without a script" everyone agrees. I'm sure it's quite easy for the other members because they fluently spoke the joke. And as far as i know, the last time i joke no one laugh. Other team was doing well, they construct it carefully and it was funny. But my team has got the shortest script and my group panicked. But we said " no matter what happen, we tried and that's it. No arguing. We have tried". I smile and know everything was going to be okay, my group know the key of winning which is not really to stress it if we fail. My group was the most funny group ! everyone laugh throughout every scene of ours and we know we are going to win this ! After that we planned our proposal about environment troubles and how to solve it but we have to choose one specific project. My group had no idea what to write when others have write it, and in my heart i am truly scared that we are going to fail. But i made a leap of faith. And as the night continues and the people slept i think about all this in worry and silence. One thing i remember, i have met a fascinating strangers with a drive to move forward and love.

Guys, that's the first part of my trip. Keep checking for the second part. My energy is all drained out. I need to rest. But be sure to hang on for another memory of this camp!
