My summer was filled with trail blazing and beach going, all of which are fond memories of mine, but something happened to me this summer I'll be sure to never forget! A few friends and I decided to go hiking through the woods on a beautiful August day. After frollicking through the woods like eager noobs through the wildy for some time, humorous disaster struck! One of my friends who was walking ahead of me tripped over a tree root and rolled onto the ground and flailed around in a bush. Oh! The hilarity doesn't stop there! After he picked the twigs out of his hair and continued on his merry way, I realized he had actually rolled right into a yellow jacket's nest! I yelled "RUN" as the furious bees chased us for what seemed like an eternity! Thankfully, no one was allergic to bees! My legs have never been itchier in all my life! And to think...I wanted to go to the beach that day... -_-

I know my post is late, but I still wanted to share it with you all, even if there's no prizes for me to look forward to. :)
I also would like to say congrats to Doctor Karma! Your story was beautifully written and brought a tear to my eye reading it. The last line you wrote was very powerful. You most definitely have a natural talent for writing!

Summer 2012, my girlfriend and I went to the Maldives.
The flight took 8 hours and we were exhausted due to the time difference.
When the plane landed, it was extremely warm; however by the time we had collected our luggage, the wind had picked up and the rain started!
2 days later, it became warm again. I went onto the beach and built Lumbridge Castle in the sand, but to my dismay - fell down the following morning after a ferocious attack by the sea. :(
We went fishing twice and caught a lobster which healed us 200 life points. :)
It's pronounced: col-oh-qui-al

Every summer, thousands of college students work part-time jobs, backpack around the world, or attend summer school. This year, a handful decided to spend their summer in the Middle East, as guests of anti-Israel organizations such as the American Friends Service Committee and the Christian Peacemaker Teams. Some of their negative reports are now finding their way into the mainstream media.
The Houston Chronicle printed an account from Steven Salaita, a doctoral candidate from the University of Oklahoma at Norman, whose trip was sponsored by the AFSC’s Fellowship of Reconciliation Peacebuilders. The August 14 column, “Let Americans learn Palestinian side of the story”was replete with accusations of Israeli “apartheid” and justification for Arab terrorism.
The same day, Kathryn Kingsbury filed a virulent anti-Israel broadside, “Brutal Israeli terrorism subsidized by U.S.,” published in the Madison (Wisconsin) Capital Times. Her 2-week visit was sponsored by the Christian Peacemaker Teams, and she claimed that “Israel’s ongoing policy of harassing, impoverishing, torturing and killing Palestinian civilians [is] an effort to force them to flee their homeland.”
Wendy Pearlman is a Harvard doctoral candidate who lived in the Palestinian town of Bir Zeit. Her numerous anti-Israel activities include a column for The Washington Post, “West Bank Checkpoint” (June 30, 2001), where she charges that Israel is “deliberately tormenting a captive civilian population,” and that “Israel employs warlike violence that drives people to terrorism.”
In November, The Washington Post published a letter from Pearlman complaining about the Post’s reference to Gilo as a “Jewish neighborhood on Jerusalem’s southern fringe.” Pearlmen insisted that “Gilo is an Israeli settlement in Palestinian territory.” She also objected to the Post’s reference to Gilo as “a target for Palestinian gunmen,” charging instead that “The Israeli army has laid siege to the Palestinian town of Beit Jala.”
