huh...that was fast...was it?
So here i am again. and camp is over. T.T

BUT im still on site. i got a whole bunch of outside groups who come in to use the challenge course or other facilities here at Camp Pecometh. i have been a lifeguard, worked maintenance, done my regular challenge course job, done a whole slew of other things too...i am a veritable Jack Of All Trades.


the last couple of weeks have been pretty interesting. The final week of regular camp ended well with the Staff Dinner, and that was very enjoyable.
Then the week after that was Day Camp, which was very chillaxed and fun. It is only run with about half the staff as regular camp and we get the evenings free. So we did stuff like zip-line and tubing in the evenings.
One evening 6 of us went and did a "Photo-Scavanger Hunt". two teams of three, and we had go down a pre-arranged list and take pictures of what was requested. stuff like "roadkill", a "pink bowling ball", "as many people in a shopping trolley as possible", "in a strangers car" and many other random things. it was hilarious tearing through Chestertown trying to find these things, and we got a few weird looks too. ha ha!!!

we also went out together for dinner as well that week, and it was a lot of fun. (as well as a lot less formal)

and now it is officially "the week after camp" which basically looks like "the week before camp" only a lot less busy and in reverse. it is so freaking quiet here, it is redonkulous. i remember being here back in may and thinking "hmm, its quiet here. its nice." and then it got hella busy. now all my friends and everyone have left and its gone back to being quiet, except now its more of a "hmm, there's not much to do," quiet.

which is lies and slander of course, there is a tonne of stuff to do. on sunday and monday i had Salisbury University on the ropes course, and those guys are fantastic, i love doing challenge course stuff with them. I was in charge of Team Teal, and i even got a complimentary team bandana!!! ha ha ha!! and we got a few more groups coming in over the next week, so im gonna be busy. and even when im not doing challenge course, there's the rest of camp to break down and pack away, and other groups to life-guard and stuff, so im pretty busy. AND im not alone here either. Ashleigh, Office Assistant and Canteen Queen extrodinaire is staying on camp for the next few weeks too. She's also Challenge Course certified, so i spend a lot of time working with her. She's the fun kind of certifiably crazy, and its fun to hang out with her. and other people come to help with the challenge course too. so its all good. ^^

i got up early the other day and went kyaking. (at like, 6 AM) it was pretty sweet, after i spent 10 minutes convincing myself to get out of bed and go. the sunrise over camp was amazing, and i also found a quiet little hideaway on the river. it was something special.

i've had a good summer. its been a lot of fun, i've spent good time with good friends, and i am more then a little bit sad that its pretty much over for this year. not gonna lie. ^^; maybe i'll do the trifecta and come back for a third year. do the trilogy. ha ha!



in other news, my brother is moving out to L.A, of all places. my parents are taking out a loan to pay for his new place, but they need my signature to allow them to do this (its complicated) so they faxed me over the form i need to sign. I signed it, and understandably they want it back ASAP, so i tried sending it right back.

EPIC.

FAIL.

first off, i have never, ever sent a fax in my entire life (hello? email?) and secondly, there was a problem with the line that camp's fax machine was on. it seems to have been sorted now, and *fingers crossed* my dad should have the signed form by tomorrow when he goes into work. So then my parents can get the loan and my brother can move out to L.A. so there.


i have a metric tonne of pictures to upload, but camp's net is crappy, so it's gonna have to wait until i get home. oh well!

well, there was probably more i wanted to say, but i've waffled on too much today i think.

till next we meet!
