CHAPTER 1: USE AS DIRECTED
from the unwritten book "1001 uses for a tampon"....don't ask.



Another quick update from the eastern shore…


Camp started two weeks ago…well, a week and a bit, we’re half way through week 2. so far it’s been fairly quiet for me as challenge course lead. I don’t have many groups on the challenge course at the moment, so I haven’t got a whole lot to do during the day. and even when I do have groups, there are three of us on challenge course staff, so the work load gets divvied up fairly evenly. It’s gonna be like this next week too, with it being Special Needs week and all. Special needers tend not to do challenge course! But after that its gonna start picking up, week 4 will have me working from 8am till 2am the next morning on some days! But I look forward to it, those camps always have the best campers.

So whilst I haven’t had a whole lot to do on the challenge course this past few weeks, I’ve been trying to make myself available to help out elsewhere around camp. Mostly this consists of hanging around after meals to help clean up, and driving people around camp at the weekends between the place where they park their cars and the rest of camp. Considering I don’t have a car out here, I’ve done a whole lot of driving, including stuff like 15-passenger vans!

I’ve also been helping out with things like campfires, music time, and other activities to keep the campers occupied, especially during the storms…and we’ve had a lot of those! Its been pretty impressive though, the storms out here are nothing like the ones back home… they’re so much more intense.

Other then that, not much has been happening here. I went to a friends house on Friday with a whole bunch of people and we had a good time, got a little crazy (but no alcohol! Yay for non alcohol craziness!). and on Saturday we went to Annapolis Mall, and I bought a few books, as I’ve finished the couple of books I bought out with me. I got the second Appleseed Manga, the 3rd Pumpkin Scissors Manga and I also bought Neil Gaiman’s “Smoke and Mirrors.” I liked the Stardust Movie and his stuff seems interesting, so I figured I’d give this one a go. “Smoke and Mirrors” is a collection of short stories, so I figure it won’t be too heavy reading.

Also at the mall, I went to see “Kung Fu Panda”. I give it ten thumbs up. ^^ seriously, a most excellent movie, beautiful animation, great music, fantastic storyline and huge doses of humour. It might only be a kids movie, but really, go see it, you wont regret it. ^^ SKA-DOOSH!

So, all in all, its been good. Good people, good times. I'm having fun.

See y’all round!
