My schoolcamp review/vlog

Heyy, sorry I haven't posted a lot lately, but I had schoolcamp and testweek. I wanted to post this earlier, but I simply didn't have the time to do so. But here it is, and my testweek is almost over, and I want to do all creative things after that.

With school camp we went to Berlin for four days, and we stayed in a Youth Hostel somewhere close to the city. This is what we did per day:

Day 1 (March 10):

Busoutfit

First was the bus trip. We had to be at school at 9:00 AM and (after a few stops) got to the youth hostel at 7:00 PM. In the bus we played Mario Card on our Nintendo’s, did pictochat, listened to music, and watched a movie (I don’t know which one and I also don’t know what it was about, because I didn’t really followed it).

When we got there we had dinner and then spare time to spend in your room, which means party and fun with everyone. I slept in a 6 person room with 4 persons, so first we dumped our stuff in our room and decided who took which bed. Then we went to other rooms to chill.

My friends and roommates:

I had to draw something in the guestbook...:

Then one of my roommates decided to wear her onesie (a soft warm full body suit/pajama):

This was my part of the room. We were there for like 15 minutes and it was already a mess:

Day 2 (March 11):

My outfit

After breakfast we did some sort of city trip. In groups (I was with my roommates) we had to walk through Berlin. But we didn’t have to follow a teacher, we had to do it by ourselves. Every group got a map of the metro system, a street map and a paper with assignments to show us the highlights of Berlin. We had to do every assignment, and when you’re finished with the paper, a pair of teachers gave you the next one. It was really fun, because you saw a lot of things of Berlin, but you had to walk A LOT, which is why a had a huge blister on my foot.

Some photo's with my friends:

Some of the stores in Berlin have weird names. This is an eatery:

In Berlin you find all sorts of bear statues, so we had to take a picture with one:

MEGA-TWISTED-CHOCO-VANILLA-ICE-CREAM:

At night, the plan was to go to the ‘Fernsehen Tor’ (the highest TV tower in Berlin and maybe even Europe), but the blister on my foot made me walk limb, which caused my knee to block (because I have awful knees). I decided it was better to rest (I only slept 3 minutes the previous night), so I stayed at the hostel and made some drawings:

Day 3 (March 12):

My outfit

In the morning we went to a former concentration camp, but that’s not something I want to talk about on a blog.

After the lunch, we had our first choice activity. You had to choose two (one for Wednesday and one for Thursday) and you could choose the Olympic Station, a tour in East-Berlin, a cycling trip in Berlin, a streetart tour followed by a workshop, and the Hamburger-Bahnhof-Museum. For this day I picked Streetart, because I really like streetart and making stuff. First we got a tour from a street artist, who showed us multiple forms of streetart.

Just graffiti sprayed on a wall:

The black, white and grey parts are made with permanent paint, the colors are washable. So when it rains, the girl fades into the wall:

You see a lot of these small cute things, like this ghost sticker:

I don’t know if I photographed this because of the girls in the background or the cartoon upfront, but they both look cool:

You also have a lot of these small stickers, which you can make at home and then put on things outside. Some people collect them, especially the ones made by big artists:

Then we went to the gallery and we made our own “streetart” (only not on the street). All kinds of high-contrasted pictures were printed, and we had to cut out the black parts to make a stencil. I chose Merlyn Monroe, because I wanted to make something difficult and a human, so it was the best option. I actually wanted to draw something myself, but then I wouldn’t have enough time. 

The stencil:

Next you had to make a background. I wanted to keep mine simple, so I sprayed it blue and then added green in two corners.

The background:

If your background was dry, you had to lay your stencil on it and spray it with a different color.

The end result:

Later, when others weren’t finished, I sprayed my glove blue and my friend sprayed hers black and then we high-fived, so you have a cool effect on the glove.

My glove:

At night, we went to the Blue Man Group, a music show. It was really amazing to watch and listen to, and there was a lot of humor in the show.

*you weren't allowed to take pictures during the show, so this was the ticket*

It was colder, so I had to wear something warmer:

Day 4 (March 13):

My outfit, it was super warm that day

In the morning we had our second choice activity. I chose the Hamburger-Bahnhof-Museum. It was very interesting, but it wasn’t really my style (I like realism over abstract). Here are some of the artworks:

We had a group photo at 2:00 PM, and after that, we were free to do whatever we wanted until 10:00 PM. As a girl, you go shopping off course. We went to the Primark and various other clothing stores, but I couldn’t find anything, so I didn’t buy clothes. I did buy two iPhone cases by H&M and some jewelry at Claire’s.

We left Berlin at 10:30 PM and arrived at school at 6:30 AM and I didn’t sleep at night in the bus, but I probably was the only one, so it was kind of boring. I wanted to sleep, but I just can’t sleep in a bus.

This was my Schoolcamp in Berlin, it was amazing.

I hope you like it :D

Update

Heyy, next week I won't be able to post anything because I have schoolcamp. I will be gone till March 14, so if I'm still awake at that point (we travel home during night), I will post something about camp or so. I wanted to make a few posts that would automatically post during camp, but because of the stress from this week, I haven't made them *sorry*

Here something I drew in the bus on camp two years ago:

I hope you like it :D

Monthly Questions: February

Heyy, sorry I haven't posted anything in a month, but February was a really busy month for me. But I have a new post for you, so here are the questions of February:

1. Nicest thing that happened
I think the nicest thing that happened this month was the sleepover on February 28th. After school, we went to the Primark and the movie theatre to see Winter’s tale, which was a beautiful movie. Then we got lost in the city (which we both thought we knew well) and when we finally found out way back, we went to the ‘mediamarkt’ (an electronic shop) to make selfies with the iPhones and iPads. It was a really fun night.

2. Something you’re proud of
I got 10.000 views on a single video on February 1st. It is a Spencer Reid fanvideo on my Spencer Reid channel, and it’s on One Direction’s song ‘Kiss You’. If you want to see it, here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYo5KP3L8tc

3. One crazy fact about you
I think I might have some form of OCD, because one day I was searching for buttons in an old shoebox, and suddenly I was organizing them, until the box was almost empty. And I think there were over 500 buttons…

4. Biggest obsession of the month
Divergent. I still have to read Allegiant, but I’m already obsessed with the books and the movie. In the movie theatre, they had three different Divergent bookmarks, so I grabbed four of each, nine in total for myself and one set for a friend. On our way to the room where the movie would play, we saw a huge Divergent poster. Then while sitting in the seats and watching trailers, they played the Divergent trailer and my friend and I got a fangirl attack…

(I don't know why this picture is upside down)

5. Movies you saw
I didn’t see a lot of movies this month, there were a few on the television and Winter’s tale in the movie theatre. On TV I saw Lemonade Mouth and Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1

6. Books you read
This month I have read Insurgent and The Fault In Our Stars. I still have to read Allegiant, but I’m afraid to start in it because I’ve read some huge spoilers online. I also started in a CSI book based on the TV-series, CSI team spirit (it is Dutch, so it is actually called teamgeest). My mom found 7 CSI books on a trading site for 15 euro’s, and since I couldn’t find them in my local library since more than a year and I really liked reading the ones they did have earlier, my mom bought them for me. Four are normal CSI, two are CSI: NY and one is CSI:Miami.

7. Drawings you made
I didn’t draw much this month, because I didn’t have much time. I had a vacation of one week, but I had a lot of appointments and birthdays and homework, so I began on one drawing and I haven’t had the time to finish it. It is a Dutch actor, Ruud Feltkamp. And one night I made two charcoal drawings, and I made some drawings into a notebook at school, but nothing very special. I did make a voucher/coupon thing for a birthday. The best friends of a friend of my mother wanted to give her a surprise party and wanted to give her a tattoo as a gift. The tattooshop didn’t have vouchers/coupons, so they asked me to draw one, and since that friend loves turtles, I drew a turtle. I also drew the tattoo a few years back, but I don't gave a picture of it on my phone.

8. Favorite music
I’ve downloaded a lot of music this month. Most of them are rock albums, because I’m starting to really like rock music. Since I’ve downloaded at least 9 albums, I’m going to talk about my favorites. I really liked Evanescence’s ‘Fallen’, The Fray’s album ‘How To Save A Life’, Trading Yesterday’s album ‘More Than This’, Paramore’s ‘All We Know Is Falling’ and 3 Doors Down’s album ‘The Better Life’. Most of the time, I like men singing more than females singing, but this didn’t apply in the case of Evanescence and Paramore, because I really like them.

9. Played any games?
I didn’t play any games this month…

10. Fashion you bought
I didn’t buy much this month, only a few hair accessories and a t-shirt from the Primark.

(I don't know if you can see, but the print on the shirt are bows)

11. Other stuff you bought
I also didn’t buy a lot of other things. I don’t know why, but February seemed much shorter than normal, because I feel like I’ve done nothing this month.

12. Something new you learned
I’ve learned that it isn’t good for your eyes and head to watch 8 episodes of Criminal Minds on one day on your laptop, because once you’re finished, you can’t see the subtitles on your TV (not that I need them, but still) and you get a headache… The reason I watched so many episodes is that on my Spencereid17 blog, I post a review every 7 or 8 episodes with screenshots of the episodes, so I had to watch them all over again to make the screenshots. I still have to write the review though…

(This isn't for the review I still have to write, it's from the previous)

This was it for this post

I hope you liked it :D
