The moment I woke up, I started freaking out. During the night Maggie and Rebecca had rolled closer to me and they were on top of my sleeping bag, holding it so I was trapped.

I started elbowing them, trying to pull my sleeping bag out from under them. I managed to get Rebecca off of it, but the zipper was underneath Maggie.

The sleeping bag was closing in on me, pinning me down. I elbowed Maggie again, and she moved, but not enough.

All of a sudden Bruce’s watch alarm filled the platform and I relaxed a little bit, knowing that Maggie was going to have to get up soon. I was still freaking out, but it was easier when I knew she was going to move.

“Brett, you’re not up? Normally you’re the first one!”

“I would be, but Maggie’s on my sleeping bag, and I’m stuck!”

Sarah Margaret shook Maggie. “Maggie, wake up! You’re pinning Brett down. She can’t move!”

Maggie rolled off my sleeping bag and I reacted immediately. I got out of my sleeping bag as quickly as I could, rolling it up and putting it away. I slipped my boots on and went to the bathroom before returning to finish packing my pack.

“Let’s go, everyone! We’ve got a tight schedule today. We’ve got breakfast, then our PCE, then De-Issue. De-Issue is followed by showers, and after that you have your CD Interview. After that it’s time for the Banquet, and then it’s time for bed.

PCE? CD Interview? What on earth were those?!?
