1st day at Buddha Root Farm



Well the night was long and cold but I woke up bright and early well not really that early. I woke up at 7:00 were I walked down the hill and took a shower and afterwards ate breakfast. At 8:10 or so I went to the lecture but actually but ended up as a discussion and ice breaker. We all introduced our self. After the introduction I went to set up tents and by the time I was done it was time for lunch. We had a extremely scrumptious lunch. After lunch everybody went to set up their tents if they did not do that yet. I signed up for dish washing duty with Julia and Felix. When some of the kids came back from setting their tents up we went to the creek were we splished and splashed. Many people fell down such as Prajna, David, and Joanne. Then we threw the volleyball around and used it as a weapon to splash people far away. Everybody tried to get me wet. At 3:30 we went to meditate and then at 4:00 we started the 10 Inexhaustible Treasuries. At 5:00 my sister and I ran down the hill to eat dinner. After dinner all the kids went up to do Evening Ceremony. Then went to lecture which was very interesting. After the lecture we went to "sleep" Felix and I slept in the same tent and David decided to join us that night but while I was listening to my Ipod I saw a cricket and freaked out and moved away squishing Felix to the corner. we all screamed like little girls and then another person near us practically told us to shut up. we got it out but before that it jumped on me and I was so startled. David then went to sleep but without a sleeping bag. In the middle of the night he went back to his tent because he was so cold and freezing which was hilarious. That concludes the first day in Oregon.
