JRu 3: Urban Camping

The rest of the weekend was not quite as eventful. We stayed with some family friends our second night. Our third night we stayed with a good friend of mine. She and her two roommates just moved into a house that is HUGE. It is only zoned to have three single people live there, so they have tons of extra space. So, they were letting friend stay there. My sister and I were staying there so we got to participate in "Urban Camping."

"What is Urban Camping?" you ask. Well, they had 5 extra girls staying with them, so they didn't have exactly enough beds. So, my sister and I made beds on the floor using couch cushions, pillows and blankets. I actually slept well considering the random conglomeration that I was sleeping on.

We had orientation in Provo for the program. The point of the orientation is to scare us into submission. I was going in prepared and it still scared me enough to keep me from sleeping that night. They talked about getting assaulted and getting pick pocketed. I was just in Jerusalem and it wasn't a problem.

We spent the night in Salt Lake. It wasn't much of a night because we had to get up at 3:30 to be at the airport at 4:30. Yes, AM, 4:30 AM. And I didn't sleep, so our cross continent travel started off with a bang.
