The Chronicles of John Trammell

Travis and I drove to his cuz's house to pick them both up.  Then we headed off to Club Week, at a place called Olds College in the town of Old.  About 75 Km north of Calgary.  When we got to Olds, we first stopped at Subway to eat some lunch. Before I go into details, let me explain what Club Week is about.  The week is focused mainly on yourself, improving your life, and everything that is involved with your life, for example, friends, family, and so forth.  We had lots of fun tought out the week, but there were some serious times with groups that we where split into at the beginning.  We also talked about issues in the world and how certain things effects how people live. On the first day, we got split into out small groups.  There where 12 members in my group, and we get one of the club weeks planning staff as a group facilitator.  Everyone was extremely quite the first day.  No one really talked.  One or two people would, but th...

From July 24th to July 29th I was in Alberta, Canada.  The trip went really well and Im not too happy about being home.  I have decided to write 2 different blogs.  One when i was living with a family, then the second on the Alberta 4-h Club Week experience.  My dad and I stayed overnight in a hotel right next to LAX on the 23rd since my flight left at 7:00 in the morning.  I needed to be at LAX at 4:30.  So we didn't want to wake up at 2 to get down there.  It was very strange being on Air Canada.  They spoke french and english...strange....lol A person by the name of Lacy, who works at the Alberta 4-H Office, met me at the Calgary Airport.  We chilled for an hour or so to wait for Megan, the other californian to arrive.  Megan left with her host family, then it was off to the 4-H office.  I got to met all the staff and the people who where planning the club week I was going to be attending.  I stayed with the Hanson Fam...

The week of 4th of July has been an extremely long and tiring one.  I have to say one of the most tiring weeks of the entire summer.  The beginning of the week was mostly devoted to work.  Going to the office on monday for an all day meeting.  The next day I got sick.  I didn't sleep for the next few days.  On 4th of July, I felt alot better, and went to a party at my cuz's house where we sat in the backyard to watch the fireworks being shoot off from the high school in Yuciapa.  I went to crafton to meet up with a councoler to talk about my future with taking classes.  My car had an overheating problem, and I was lucky to make it back home...thank god i only live 6 miles from school.  While I was gone over the weekend it seems my dad fixed my car.  Wires to the fan where destroyed from old age.  Now my car runs just fine July 5th and 6th, i went up to the 2007 So-Cal 4-H Summer Camp in Crestline.  I brought with me 10 lapt...
