November 3rd, 1937
It's been about a week since I've arrived and I have never had more fun. For our activities we go around with our cabin mates. We mainly work in the forges but we do have to go out side an practice other things such as archery, swordplay, basket waving, pegasus riding and other really cool things.
Turns out i'm no good at archery, swords are too big an heavy, hammers are uncomfortable to fight with but i am rather good at fighting with knives. I am the only camper that uses knives to fight with. Apparently only the most agile and strongest fighters can even use one in a fight but not me, because I don't have the added length of a sword i use two which is even more rare.
Ive only been here a week and i've already become one of the camps strongest fighters. Chiron is hoping to put me on the patrol party once a week starting next week because of how strong i've grown.
Today we got an new camper. Her name is Catelyn, her parentage is unknown so she's stuck in the Hermes cabin for now. She seems really nice, she's about my age, so 9 years old. We all call her Cat because she's really quite and sticks to her own business. I found her talking to herself as i was showing her around, but i think that was just because she was still trying too comprehend all this stuff about the Greek gods.
I hope she finds out who her parent is because from what i've gathered she has had a very rough childhood.
Anyways goodbye for now, got to go meet the group.

"Hey everyone!" I call out as I walk onto the pier. Everyone waves as i sit down and join them. We've made the pier our meeting and hangout place because it's very secluded and empty, we don't have people running by or interrupting us as they walk by.
I find it funny how we've all become really good friends in such a short time span whereas back in South Carolina when my mother was still alive I had no friends in the small town that we lived in. All the other girls were too peppy and rich and the boys wouldn't play ball with a girl even if she could beat there butts in a game of baseball.
It wasn't fair that i came from a broken and poor family, if my stepfather had spent more time helping the family rather then staying in town drinking the nights away or even using work as an excuse to travel to other towns with more beer or old drinking friend we would have been a whole lot better off. Most nights mother and i we scrounging around for food and money to use to take care of ourselves.
Yet here i am with a great group of friends, clean clothes, no sex discrimination, all the food in the world and family who care about me. I thank the gods every day for the blessing that they've given me.
"So you all ready for the chariot races this afternoon?" Courtney-Rose asks and she does not fail to get responses.
"Yes, the Poseidon cabin will finally beat you all today, we will make history today. The first time in years that the Athena cabin will have not won." Samantha shoots back which causes, Rhys to stand up.
"Im sorry Samantha but i believe that you are very mistaken, what i'm sure you meant to say way that if anyone is beating the Athena cabin it would be Ares. We're obviously the best fighters when it come to actual combat not drowning people which we will not be doing today. Maybe another day though, sorry." Rhys informs us.
"What!" Courtney-Rose screams loudly and extremely high pitched. It almost sounded like what we would hear from a Aphrodite girl after getting a new hat or shoes. Except not so girly, it was a lot more aggressive. "I am not getting beat, and for you information if any cabin was to beat us it would be the Hephaestus cabin because they will have a really good, well built chariot however what they lack in is strategy which is something you all lack in by the way."
We then hear the conch shell to indicate that its time for lunch and we all walk there together as a group of friends arguing and laughing.
Definitely a time i will remember.
Thanks for reading! I'll see you all next week for another chapter! Bye!
