Day 5 - Sunday, May 24, 2026
Hi, this is Tristan.
Today I experienced the coldest morning I’ve ever woken up to. We dissected scallops. They look irresistibly delicious, but we weren’t allowed to eat them. Right after lunch, we had a raft engineering competition. None of us successfully constructed a boat. However, our group made the most attempts to get it into the water and had the most casualties. I found 6 scars on my legs later in the shower and so did my glorious co-workers. We are going to play Exploding Kittens tonight and go to bed early.
