Camp Joan, Year 5, Days 2-4 (TRIPLE FEATURE!)

Hello, sorry for not updating, but I'm back on track with the ol' blogerooni. We'll section this off into three distinct parts.

DAY 2:
We went to pick berries with Aunt Joan at a moderately sized  farm about 21 minutes away. We picked a ton of blueberries, because of the noticeable lack of bees in the bush, and the noticeable lack of self-control with Molly and Aunt Joan, who kept on eating our freshly-picked berries like popcorn at a dang movie theater. Our endeavours in the raspberry section were not as successful, because there were roughly a billion bees in the bush, and we decided that the risk/reward ratio for plunging your hand into an unofficial beehive for an alright-at-best raspberry was not nearly high enough for us to actually do it more than a few times.

Molly and Aunt Joan made chocolate-covered blueberries while I lounged around like the king I am. At around 6, we went over to the movie theater and saw the new Marvel movie, Ant-Man, which was very good and incredibly funny. Then we slept.

DAY 3:
We lounged around all day. Molly got an Amiibo (please don't ask, it only raises more questions) and we watched North By Northwest to prepare for Molly's conspiracy class at Saint Rose. Starting to see the need for a triple feature?

DAY 4:
Our classes at  Saint Rose began, and for the first time, Molly and I took separate classes. Neither of us had any interest in the other's subject, so we split up. I took Sports Broadcasting and my sister took Conspiracy Theories.

SPORTS BROADCASTING:
I really love this class. The whole class revolves around, at least for today, shows, like the ones you listened to on the way to work or school or whatever. The kids in the class (all of whom are, like, 11, by the way) all think that I'm a riot despite making D-List jokes. Our "shows" take place in the real Saint Rose radio broadcasting room. We don't actually broadcast them, obvs, but we can record them. I will try to record one of my sessions tomorrow, but the quality won't be great (both technically and not).

CONSPIRACY THEORIES:
Molly doesn't actually remember anything specific about the class (it's been a long day), but she does remember a game called zombie tag and creating fortune tellers. She also tells me that they will focus on specific conspiracy theories day-to-day, but today they didn't focus on one, so we're left with a vague description.

That's all, folks!

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
