In the small hours, all the staffs had to take turn to keep watch and our team was the last shift. The bed was too comfortable to wake up but I still had to leave it. It was 4 o’clock AM. I took a short walk outside. It was still dark and stars were still shining there. I tried to recognize some constellation but it was difficult for me. I planned to observe stars later. However, it had been bright already before I noticed that. I could not see any small stars. How dull am I.

Before the breakfast arrived, my teammates could still have a nap. When we were sleeping, the freshmen and the staffs except us were taking morning exercise outside. After the breakfast, it was time for the RPG. The RPG means Roles-Playing Game. All of staffs had to play a role. There were some connections and clues with each role. The players had to find them, play games and get treasure. Susan and I were in the story of Aladdin. I was 7-11 and she was OK Market. That means we were the grocery store keepers. The players had to give us the card of water from Poseidon because we were cleaning the grocery store. Then, they could play the game from us. If they passed the game, they could get the card of food and give it to dwarfs.

One of our team’s jobs was to carry meal boxes by motorcycle from the main door of Hui Sun Forest to the hostel where we lived every time and it took 20 minutes. The road was full of small rocks because of the typhoon and it was easy to slip down. At night, it became very dangerous. Some of our team carried meal boxes and some shared them. After every meal time, we had to put leftovers together and sort garbage.

In the afternoon, our team had a free time. The freshmen were having group activities with sweat under hot sun, but we stayed in our room and took a nap or watched TV with air-condition. Then, I took a walk to a footway. It was very relaxing and comfortable. Lots of trees shaded me from the sun. The wind was cool. Everything in Mother Nature was special and unique.

At night, our team had to decorate the path of night walk. We put light sticks on the right direction to lead the freshmen go trembly through the haunted path. Later, we also walked the path. At first, I was a little afraid of walking the path because it was too dark to watch my steps. It was full of stars but with crescent. Moreover, some of staffs dressed up as ghosts. However, we were not scared by people. We were ready to scare ghost pretenders. It was really interesting to see people terrible frightened and get stunned. It was a sense of achievement of pranks.

Last last weekend, the freshman camping was held by the sophomore. I was one of staffs and I chose the team of miscellaneous affairs (It is hard to translate it). The jobs included booking the tour bus, preparing meals, being keepers of room keys and equipments. The heavy preparation of the camping had been for a long time. For example, the team of activity had to think about the fames. Also, many people had to rehearsal dances and comedies in the night party for many times. However, our team did not need any practice. Should I practice keeping keys or sharing meal boxes? As a result, I was not busy for the camping preparation.

The camping was in Hui Sun Forest. It was the first time I went there so I was looking forward it. The road surface in mountains was not well because of the typhoon. We swayed with the bus to the destination. It was really hard to fall asleep. Our team’s first work was to carry all people’s luggage to rooms. I was like the porter in hotel. It was a laborious work because I had to drag luggage to take the elevator and drag them to rooms. However, I could see the rooms first. The hostel in Hui Sun Forest had done recently, so all the equipments were really new and high-class. We ordered several ten-people suites. Although the room was for ten people, it was spacious and paved with pretty woods. Each one had a mattress. There were an air conditioner and a liquid crystal television. Especially, there were two bathrooms. It was wonderful for ten girls to rake a bath. Of course, the scene was really beautiful. The green green mountains were right in front of windows and the other side of mountains was Mountain Jade.
