I'm not quite liking the whole 'journal-style' type thing...so, the verse/POV may switch around a bit until I find something I like for this story. I'll try and keep it fairly consistant, though. Or just re-write chapters and upload them once I find a POV I want to stick with. ^-^"

Entry 2 – September 1, 20XX

The moment I walked into the room where we were all meeting, I knew that this was going to be hard to deal with. Actually, scratch that, the moment I got the idea to bring everyone to a camp for a month, I knew this was going to be hard.

Note to self; make sure that you arrive at the designated meeting point before everyone else does. Otherwise, by the time you get there, everything will have already descended into some form of chaos.

No seriously. It was chaos.

Rosa and Francoise were already trading insults (and blows), and Alfred and Ivan were glaring at each other from across the room. Feliciano was clinging to Monika, who looked about ready to punch someone, as did Lovino (actually, I think he would have had Isabel not been attempting to hug him at the time). I think the only person not participating in the kerfuffle was Marguerite, and that was because she was hiding in the corner away from everyone else.

This is going to be a long month.

I eventually got everyone quieted down and assembled into the bus, however. Eventually. Monika helped. No frying pans were necessary though, so I'm counting this as a success.

Once we were actually on the bus…Let's just say I had one hell of a time keeping everyone a) seated and b) somewhat quiet. I'm pretty sure that that particular bus driver is never going to work for us again.

I ended up having to put Rosa and Francoise on opposite ends of the bus to keep them from fighting, as with Alfred and Ivan to stop them from threatening each other (I honestly have no clue why they keep at it, they seem like the best of friends sometimes but then like mortal enemies other times). Isabel dealt with Lovino though (thank god). I ended up having to seat Marguerite beside Kiku too (Alfred can get very loud and there's some awkward family history between Chun-Yan and Kiku). I can't help but think they'd be such good friends. I mean, seriously, they're both the quietest people I know! I think the bus ride just ended up majorly awkward for them both though.

Once we got to the camp, everyone got their luggage and their cabin assignments. There are four cabins in total that we will be using, out of about twenty that the camp has. The unused cabins are going to be locked and inaccessible (and for good reason). Feliciano, Lovino, and Ivan are in Cabin 1; Marguerite, Isabel, and Francoise in Cabin 2 (I'm kind of re-thinking putting Isabel and Francoise in the same cabin though…those two and Gilbert are as thick as thieves, sometimes literally, and something's bound to happen…); Kiku, Alfred, and Gilbert in Cabin 3; and Monika, Chun-Yan, and Rosa in Cabin 4.

After telling everyone their cabin arraignments, they were given free time until supper to look around the camp and get to know their cabin-mates. Nearly everyone already knows each other already though. Makes my job a bit easier, I don't have to worry about introducing anyone. I do have to worry about dealing with/keeping in mind various history, some good, some bad, between them, on the other hand.

Free time went better than the meeting earlier. Almost everyone just split off into their own group of friends and wandered off. Marguerite sort of just followed me around however and I had to practically drag Gilbert away from the stables for supper.

Supper itself was uneventful, thank goodness. Just the usual quiet bickering between the usual groups and the usual not-so-quiet complaining about the food and chatter from others.

All-in-all, the first day was relatively decent. It could have definitely been worse, I know from experience. It could have also gone better, but that's a bit too much to hope for at this point.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of the activities I have planned, so here's hoping that the rest of the month does not go any worse than today!
