a lull
Hey folks. just another quick update whilst i have some time and some decent internets.



its now the third week of camp, and things have been going pretty well. truth be told, we've had a few dodgy moments, we've had to let a few staff members go and a few stressful events, but overall it seems to be going good.

the first week was kinda hectic, everyone trying to get into the swing of things. the kids were mostly a great bunch (with the exception of one program, but they were off site for most of the week). i got to hang out with a group called "Leaps of Faith" all week, which is a challenge course based program. they were an awesome bunch of kids, and we had a lot of fun and got a lot out of the week. the only bad part of the week for me was that i had a head cold that week (not fun when you're trying to work a high-ropes course) and it was pretty wet and stormy weather that week, which made it difficult to do stuff outside (again, real hard when your program is mostly outside based work!) but it wasnt too bad, and as i said, i had a great week.

last week was mini camp week, so a lot of junior campers (grades k thru 4 i think) and only a few specialty camps, which meant i didnt have a whole lot of challenge course work to do. and, to be honest, the few groups i did have were terrible. ^^; but i spent a lot of time life-guarding out on the river on the camp's giant inflatable equipment (a trampoline and a huge inflatable iceberg, to name a few) and so i kept myself busy.

and this week is Special Needs week, so again, not a lot of work on the challenge course to do. im enjoying the lull though, cuz i know its gonna get crazy busy starting next week!


so yeah. life is good. the weather has gotten better, and every day brings more laughter and fun. there's a whole bunch of places one can end up during the summer, but i sure am glad im here again!

i finished my novel i was reading (i had a lot of free time!!!) and i really enjoyed it. it's called "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman, and it was a thoroughly engaging and enjoyable read. my colleague is currently reading it, and he's almost finished, and i know of two or three more people who wanna read it, so i guess i made a good choice! ha ha!

i also got given a fridge to put in the Boys Staff House, where im staying this summer. so i now have a mini fridge in my room ,whom i sharing with the Maintenance Manager, and its stocked with soda and chocolate. good times!

the rest of my days have been filled with hanging out with good friends, eating ice cream, watching Disney Movies and occasionally writing some more of my stories. oh, and i work too, apparently! ha ha!

hope all is well with y'all. i wanna know what you are all getting up to this summer! i hope you enjoy it!


till next time!

PS: I may or may not have said this before, but the sunsets here are like nowhere else in the world. i love each and every one. ^^

PPS: i think i might be experiencing a slight mecha withdrawal. :q
