CIT-410: Horrid, miserable, absolutely pointless camping trip: a letter to my team

I'm currently taking a systems analysis and design course, and we recently learned that we are supposed to go camping as a part of our curriculum. I'm not a very big fan of the idea, but apparently I'm a "team leader" or something, so I guess I should set an example for my team mates.

Forget that.

I just composed an e-mail to my team mates with some updates about the camping trip, just to be sure they got the details. I was very frustrated as I wrote this, but reading over it now, I find it quite humorous. Here ya go!!

Hey guys,

So they are going to provide a bus for us to get out to that piece of crap Badger Creek camping thing. Umm... my car rides kinda low, and the tires aren't all that great, so I think I'm opting for the bus. If you want to figure out a way to get there other than taking the bus, you're supposed to e-mail Bro. Holt about your plans so he is no longer accountable for your despair. We are going to be in "heated" (meaning "30-40 degrees"... yay) cabins. I guess they have sleazy mattresses we can sleep on. You can't use anything other than their built-in heating facilities to stay alive. We will be prancing around outside all day long like a bunch of idiots, so make sure you're dressed in layers so you can strip down if you get too hot.

Anyone who wants to usurp my powers as group manager, feel free to stage a coup... I'll go quietly. I hate this class.

Hoping I come down with something to excuse me from the insanity, Your reluctant benevolent dictator, Josh VanderLinden

Have a nice life.
