   Training Complete
Well, Camp training is complete. It was an interesting two weeks, with its ups and downs. The people there are pretty great, excluding a couple of them. On Monday I ended up almost passing out from heat exhaustion, which was no fun at all. I took a cool shower, and then layed down for about an hour, and then our boss let us leave the campus to go get ice cream, so it was worth it in a way. The rest of the week went by pretty smoothly. I had a couple of moments of stress where I just went for a walk to get away from it all. I got to talking with another counselor here, T-Diddy, and it seems like we have a lot in common, and a lot of the same mannerisms as well. Finally! Someone around here who I can relate to! It's amazing. On Thursday I got into a yelling fight with another girl counselor. Actually, it was me being my sarcastic self, her not liking it and flipping out on me, and then me laughing my ass off, which led to me pissing her off even more. It's great how I can do that without even trying. Also this week I learned how to facilitate the high ropes course, and that was an amazing experience. I absolutely loved every minute of that. Being able to balay (sp?) someone a good 80 pounds heavier than me from 45 feet in the air is an indescribable feeling for me. On an unrelated topic, I have the house to myself this weekend, all weekend. My family went camping, and I decided to stay home, just for the fact that I will be camping all of the rest of the summer, and I would rather not have to do it on my time off as well. So, I have nothing to do, so I might be getting together with some of the counselors from camp, which would be great. I actually enjoy those guys, although most of them are VERY different than I am. Oh well, it takes all kinds. A world filled with a bunch of people like me would be scary, and I would not want to me around them. I can't see how people can like me at times, but, you know, whatever. To each his own. So, today I went shopping. I had to pick up a few things for camp. I got some weight-lifting gloves to use on the high ropes course, and some sneakers because I trashed my other pair. Then I got some little things for my "secret buddy," which is something like a secret santa during the holidays. If some people could only hear what was being talked about in the girl's cabin on Wednesday night, then they would know the meaning of irony when I got my secret buddy. ^_^ It will be fun though. I got this person's gifts for the two weeks that we are doing the secret buddy thing -- it was fun to shop for this person as well. How did I know that I was going to get this person? Ah well...Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, is off to find something to do for the weekend...aluve'
