Europe 7-2-09

We woke up this morning and ate breakfast. We had an hour of free time after breakfast before we had to meet up for the day's activities. I went to the UKSA shop during free time and ran around trying to find stuff to do. Finally it was time to meet out instructors and split off into groups. My group got to go windsurfing first. We did balance exercises and games first. We did a gladiator thing on the boards in which I only won once. Then we put our boards together and ran across them all. I made it! Then the windsurfing part. It was hard at times to keep balance but I kept it long enough to get pulled pretty far out. I was able to swim back though. It was a fun challenge. We took a break for lunch which was pretty good, and I got a break from my wetsuit. My group's afternoon activity was dingy sailing. It was a lot of fun and pretty easy. I steered and Catherine controlled the sail. At one point we all lined up like duckies. The only bad part was getting hit with the mast or boom. It hit me a few times and pretty hard one time when we were first putting it up. After sailing we changed out of our wetsuits and had dinner. In the middle of dinner I got really dizzy. I was a little worried because I had remembered getting hit earlier and told my dad. He told my mom, who insisted on me going to the hospital. We went to St. Mary's and got checked out, but I was okay, just a little embarrassed but Meghan kept me laughing. I went back to UKSA and chilled in the cyber cafe until bedtime.
