Nathan's first day at nerd camp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Dear Diary,
Hi, I'm Nathan and I am so excited. It's my first day at nerd camp. I am so excited that I don't want to forget any of it so I'm keeping a diary. I got a special invitation from my friend Davis (my nerdiest friend). He asked me if I wanted to come. Of course, I did want to, but I had to ask my mom. Then came some booger sniffing and silence. Then my MOMMY SAID YES!!!!!! After that came a few minutes of screaming and then just really big smiles. Even though it was in a week and a half, I still started packing right away. I packed all my Pokemon cards, my chess board, all my summer homework (I can't wait to work on it), and a lot of other stuff. I also packed twenty three books. I hope I packed enough. I was almost dying on those few days between then and the trip. I had nothing to do so I recounted and checked everything about ten times except for my Pokemon cards. I checked those about twenty five times because I knew it would be really important. And guess what, I almost forgot my Tyranitar Ex card. If I would have left without it, I would be so mad.
Finally the day came for us to leave, oooh I was so excited. First we looked at the paper with all the information and when I saw the things we could do I jumped so high that I hit the top pf the car. It was a good thing that I was wearing my helmet. As mommy always tells me, Safety First. Then we played Pokemon for the rest of the ten hour car ride. Davis would never admit it, but I won. When we got there, we were alowed to do one activity and since we were already warmed up in Pokemon, that's what we chose. It was really fun, I got second and davis got third. If you ask me I think that I'm better than Davis, but promise that you won't tell. After that it was 7:30 and that meant journal time for thirty minutes and then bedtime. Don't tell anybody but I was a bad boy. I stayed up until 8:15. I can't wait until tomorrow. When I got there, I felt so at home, there were so many nerds. It was like meeting the fairly odd parents in person. If you didn't already know the fairly odd parents are my favorite tv show.

Davis- first day of nerd camp


Hi, I'm Davis and about a week ago I got a letter in the mail about nerd camp and I thought that was the best idea of a camp ever. So I asked my mom if I could go. She said only if I take a friend and I asked my nerdiest friend Nathan. And when I told his over the phone he screamed in excitement and then I started to screaming, and while we were screaming he asked his mom. Then it went silent and in the silence I sniff in some boogers and push my glasses closer to my face. Then the moment of truth... "yes!"

The next day we left at 3:00 AM. to North Dakota where it was it was located. It was about a 10 hour drive from Ohio. But Nathan and I were prepared we brought are Pokemon cards and we played until we got there at about 1:30 PM. and I felt as free as an untamed Pokemon when I got out of the car. When we walk in I felt home. There were nerds everywhere. Then Nathan and I said goodbye to are mommies and we started to best camp ever. The first thing we learned is the dress code.
You must wear :
  1. flood pants
  2. a white collared shirt with pocket protector must be tucked in.
  3. a bow tie.
  4. a braided belt that must be above your belly button or higher.
  5. a fanny pack/purse with a complete first aid kit.
  6. and last but not least glasses not contact lenses allowed.

luckily that is what we always wear.

Then we got to see the list of things to do in the 3 weeks here. We got to do 1 new one every day.They were...
  • Syncronized swimming - Speedo bikini for boys is required and 1 piece for girls
  • Pokemon tournaments - deck of at least 100 cards in required
  • curling
  • video game tournaments
  • rhythmic gymnastics
  • math team
  • ice dancing
  • badminton
  • chess tournaments of course
  • and finally... Finger Painting




We were so excited we hardly knew what activity to start first! But Nathan and I thought and we decided Pokemon because we were already in the zone from the car. At the end I got 3rd and Nathan 2nd. After that we we got time for diary time. At that time it bed time (7:30) so we got in are rooms and went to bed. but before we heared a roomer that we were also promised 30 minutes of indoor Pokemon trading each day!
