Training camp was wonderful. On the first day, I got poked by a nail. It felt great. We also shot mock competition and i got a lame score. We watched meet the robinsons for the inspirational movie and it was pretty nice. The main point of it was to celebrate failure and keep moving forward. But i didnt really like it cuz it was a 3D animation show and i dont really like watching that kind but prefer real people acting.

The next day, we trained first, then had Lee PT. It was awesomely painful. By the end of it we were all crumbling to the ground and holding the wall for support while going down the stairs. We went to do senior's farewell video after that since we were too crumbly to train again but after lunch, we had to train again. I think our shots were all horrigible compared to the morning. After training, Nicole and i went to celebrate some failure by shooting hoops. We suceeded. After that we had to go for road run + 20min on the track. Jiapei was filming us suffering together.
At night, seniors fred and yi xiu[i think] gave us a talk of their experiences and then we had to learn the club mission: To develop NJ shooters into leaders with passion, marksmen with perserverence and sportsmen with integrity in the journey of self discovery. Lee tested two people and they got it wrong and we had to do 2 x 10 times of his horrendous squatting and getting up exercise...

Then we had dinner while hearing another two seniors talk, Sarah and i dunno the name of the other one. After that was to labrador park for mental training. We had to make the railing disappear so that we could see the whole sea. I managed it but i kept wondering how our brains were able to perceive what was behind the railings since they are supposedly blocked. So as the railings disappear, how come the pattern of the waves still can be formed.. I wonder if we can use this to look through walls. At one point, 1/2 of xiu rong disappeared diagonally, which was quite scary cuz she faded off very fast but shot back into view the moment i noticed. After the exercise my eyeballs were thouroughly strained.

The last day was nothing much. We shot mock com again and then final 10. I shot the same score as i did for the first day for the mock com and final 10 i shot 101 point something.. but without all the point-somethings to save me it would have only been 96. I didnt improve at all and i have no idea why Im shooting how Im shooting cuz sometimes the shots just have their own life and go where they want to although i seemingly aimed at the same spot.
A few of us also helped to neaten up the range after that. It felt like quite a great accomplishment because the range really looked much nicer after the packing and everything. And there were many many xiao qiangs with long legs and feelers [wonder why its pronounced fee-lers and not feel-ers since they are used for feel-ing and is that not the reason they are called feel-ers?] crawling around that got shot by sprays of xiao qiang killers. And one died right outside the range door.

Chalky is very annoying. But not as annoying as jeremy, who is VERY VERY ANNOYING. His mouth should rot so all his teeth sink into his gums and he becomes disfigured and his throat gets clogged with fallen out teeth so he cant shyt through his mouth anymore like he was doing the whole camp and polluting the world. DIE JEREMY, DIE!
