holy batman i've posted a lot today.

STRATHCONA TRIP PICTURES
(taken with a shitty disposable, then scanned. wheeee)


i took about 8 other pictures that look same-y. so i just scanned one.
i love the scenery. LOVE.


bill and kim, my rockclimbing instructors.
they were the best i've ever had at strathcona.

class photo of the GRADE 12 MINIS that turned out really shitty.
oh well. too bad.
(i'm between ian and rachel, at the right side of the photo.)

note: sooz asked me what a MINI school was...
it's a smaller 150-student school (30 students per grade that you
are more-or-less stuck with for your entire high school experience)
within in a normal 1200-student high school.

it's an enrichment program for nerdy/ambitious kids
who accelerate in academics so they can go out and
go on super cool trips like this one during the schoolyear.
the trips are supposed to BUILD CHARACTER,
teach leadership, etc.

i could go on forever about the Mini but there will be
time for that later. maybe.


a bunch of us girls had this cabin room on our very first strathcona
trip in grade 8. now it's our last year and we returned to the same room
to take a nostalgic goodbye picture.
