The Food Review

Yum! This is awesome! Why didn't they tell me about this earlier! This is good stuff. I can't wait till tomorrow's breakfast!
Oh! Why hello there innocent reader. I didn't see you there because I was too busy stuffing my face with flavoured goods. 

Are you confused? Be no more! I am at Camp Green Pastures! (Cue the awesome music) If you don't know what Camp Green Pastures is then, it's a great place to visit. It's run by Liam, and his camp is awesome. 

All right. Enough said about the camp, the food is my favourite part. You might call me a sad guy for going all the way to camp, only to eat the food, but man that grub was heaven. Don't even get me started about the dessert. There was apple crumble and chocolate pudding. PUDDING!

For the first night we had this great lasagne, with amazing corn. Breakfast the next day was toast, weetbix, corn flakes and rice bubbles. All of which you were allowed with canned fruit. The same day lunch was macaroni cheese. Dinner was roast chicken with the "best roast potatoes in the country." It may not sound special, but it was.

The main highlight for me was the dessert and the morning/afternoon teas. Giant cookies, sugary rice bubbles, oh, life is a dream with junk food. The first night there was apple crumble. Perfectly cooked apples, in sweet muesli, topped off with a fresh cream blob. The next night pudding was amazing. Chocolate cake, covered in hot chocolate sauce. I'll have some anytime!

You might not believe my critique, but what I say is true. Check it out sometime!

The epro8 experience

On Wednesday I participated in the epro8 competition, and man it was hard. There was robotics, problem solving, technology and heaps of other confusing stuff. It was crazy hard. CSNS entered four teams. I was in one of them. The man running the event was amazing. He showed us how and when to use joiners, wing-nuts and bolts. He even showed us a pre-made mechanical thing. It was awesome. He told us our tasks, and when the event started the buzz of busy kids exploded in the room.  Our group started with the 2.2 metre long bridge. It looked the easiest, but boy, were we wrong. It took us more than half of our time, having to rebuild it countless times for not matching criteria. Though, the feeling of finishing it was great. Then we did the balloon challenge. The main aim was to get the fans (you have to make them work) to make the balloons go 1.2 metres in the air and then float for 10 seconds. It took us ages, and when we finally did it, the guy wasn't watching. That meant we had to do it until he could see it. Sad. Finally we did the laser pointer challenge. It was by far the most annoying task. It was great!
