In the PCR our Out-of-Character section is full of quizzes such as "What monster are you?" and "What type of Breakfast Food are you?" and, one of the more recent ones, "What planet are YOU from?" The students of Penshire have a fun time giggling about the silly answers we get and seeing who compares to who� here are some results from our solar system quiz!
Samuel was from Jupiter, while Amanda and Bryony were a little closer to home�from Mars. Neptune also had two winners, with Avery and Emmalee both claiming origin from the blue planet. Rose and Faith tuned in from Mercury, and Elijah surprised everyone being from the Moon� not exactly a planet, but close enough. Each planet was accompanied by a description of what your personality was supposedly� some of which seemed correct, and others which seemed downright laughable

Car Camping. Believe it or not, this isn't exactly done as it sounds. Some might get the notion that a person is living out of his/her car for the time they are camping, perhaps even sleeping in it. In that those poor, misguided souls would be slightly incorrect. Car Camping is a form of camping where one takes a few luxuries along, and also a few heavier things. However, one still leaves the toilet seat at home. Basically, a person just loads up his/her car with whatever he/she wants to take along, as long as it fits in or on the car. Then, he/she will drive out to a Designated Car Camping spot (DCC for short), to set up camp. So, a person still uses a tent or a pavilion to sleep in/under. Most places have either Hand pumps or faucets to obtain fresh water, which allows the person to leave the Water Purifier at home, and a permanent firepit, so the person doesn't have to bother with digging one, or finding rocks to build a ring.
Because the list of things a person could take Car Camping is almost infinite, here's a relatively short list, just for a few ideas to get an interested subject pointed in the right direction:
-Toothbrush
-Toothpaste
-Dish soap
-Soap/Shampoo
Some foods/drinks might be:
-Pop Tarts
-Cold Cereal
-Strudels
-Summer sausage
-Tea/Coffee/Hot Chocolate Mugs
-Cooler or three
-Ice
-Tent/Pavilion
-Toilet paper
-As many changes of clothes as one desires
-Candy
-Cot
-Swimming apparel
-Sleeping Bag.
-One of those snazzy Lighter Fluid Fire Starters
-Kielbasa
-Eggs
-Milk
-Pop
-Tea/Coffee/Hot Chocolate or any combination
-Instant foods such as Instant Oatmeal, or Instant Mashed potatoes work for most kinds of Backpacking/Camping.

Promises are made
Even broken
Never on purpose
So they say
How can we be sure
I try
Rare do I fail
Even unconsciously
(Lynexe Couronne)
Pull away the courageous, the intelligent
Eliminate the sly and the content
Now can you try and gather the rest
Simply give a little test
However complicated or easy
In mazes or puzzles
Really doesn't matter 'cause
Ending; they're Penshires.
