JENNA: This assignment is crazy. We're basically going to be thrown into the woods and expected to survive for a whole week.
NAOMI: We're not going to be "thrown into the woods," Jenna. We'll bring a tent.
ELAINA: And lots of food.
NAOMI: Sleeping bags...
ELAINA: And lots of food.
NAOMI: Extra clothes...
ELAINA: And lots of food.
NAOMI: That too.
JENNA: But guys, what about wild animals and ticks and gross worms and outside stuff?
NAOMI: I'll bring a can of bug spray.
JENNA: Why can't we just skip the "adventure" part and just write the essay?
NAOMI: What's more fun? Camping or writing a ten page essay.
JENNA: I admit, that ten page paper is a bit over the top, but still. That's only two pages everyday if you think about it. That's not too bad.
ELAINA: It will be on top of all your other homework. Agreeing to Survival Week exempts us from all homework, essay included!
NAOMI: And that is one of the many reasons why we're going.
JENNA: But Naomi...
NAOMI: Nope. I already signed us up. We're leaving Monday morning bright and early at 6:00 am.
ELAINA: Where should we meet?
NAOMI: We can meet here at my house. Then we can haul all of our luggage in my car and drive to the school together.
JENNA: Sounds fine to me.
ELAINA: Why do we have to go to the school first?
NAOMI: We have to get all the campsite information. You know, directions and stuff. And we also have to pick up our tent. We have all weekend to pack and get ready.
JENNA: Whatever.
NAOMI: Jenna?
JENNA: Yes?
NAOMI: You're going to be in a bad mood this whole trip, aren't you?
JENNA: Don't you know it.
ELAINA: I thought you'd be happy. I mean, camping could inspire a whole new line of fashion.
JENNA: Don't bribe me.
ELAINA: Hiking boots, ponchos, khaki shorts...
JENNA: Stop.
ELAINA: They're all major fashion crimes, but you can fix that...
JENNA: Fine. You won me over.
NAOMI: Nice one, Elaina!
JENNA: One quick question.
NAOMI: Yes?
JENNA: Would a sewing machine fit in our tent?
NAOMI: Really? You're really asking that question right now?
JENNA: Blame Elaina.

Survival Week
HumorIt all started with a school assignment. One week in the woods. Survive. Pass. It's as simple as that. But anything with friends Naomi, Jenna, and Elaina is not going to be that simple.
