It was my last day at camp, and no one else was around who might want my shirt. No one even wears the same size shirt as me. This could make things difficult. But luckily, the ever faithful Emma was talking up the trading up business. She'd already traded her shirt (with me, for my worm farm; hence why I was then able to trade her shirt instead of mine) and was probably trying to get rid of the worm farm (which, if you are not careful, spills liquids during vehicle transit). I overheard her discussing the matter with Chris, one of the kitchen staff. I leapt into the conversation and demanded, probably far too over-excitedly, to know whether he was interested in trading up and what did he have to offer. I think our enthusiasm for the mission was contagious because he ran off to his room to find something. Either that or he was looking for an escape. But he returned and brought back a headlamp and a memory card. He said he didn't know what was on the card, but his tone and facial expression led me to believe that the contents may be somewhat sketchy. I decided to take the risk and went for the card. My first trade! What a success. Not only did I manage to get rid of a potentially difficult to trade item, I got something much smaller and easier to carry around for future trading. AND the extra bonus of some mystery content. What more could you want?
