Goodbye July

Hey everybody,

Wow it has been a while since i have posted on here, guess it just shows how crazy and busy camp can be. Well we are in the second half of camp with only three weeks left to go. Things have been going well with tennis, but i can't say the same for cabin life. Right now i have four girls in the cabin but not long ago we only had three. A girl who has been with us since the beginning of camp has moved to another cabin because she couldn't stand or handle being around this nasty girl who is also in our cabin. I don't blame her for leaving. The nasty girl is rude and bossy and has to comment on everything that is said even when you are not talking to her. It drives everybody crazy.
Deede and i are working on this but for now she is gone on a three day trip to D. C. So we get a break from her. Oh and we got the other girl because this other counselor couldn't handle her homesickness. We might get another girl but the last two weeks will be weird because Deede is leaving next week and i don't know what will happen to our little cabin.
Camp olympics starts tomorrow and i'm team ireland! We have to go crazy with spirit as the kids battle it out. I'll be taking lots of pic; it's gonna be awesome!
I went to Scranton today with my friend Denise. We went to the mall and saw Cap America, it was amazing!

Well I'll try to update again

Miss you all

Harry Potter!

Hello everyone!

Finally after years of reading and watching Harry Potter it has all come to an end. What a bitter sweet thing. I saw the movie today after having gone to see a doctor for my soar throat and lack of voice. The best was when the nurse, after taking my blood pressure and temp, said "if there is anything you need, just yell". I started laughing (quietly of course) and she realized what she just said and laughed too on her way out.

Three weeks down and one more to go before alot of campers leave at the the half way mark of a Greeley summer. Hannah, one of my campers will be leaving us and then we will get one more girl and that will be it. Only four girls for the rest of the summer; that is, of course, if everthing goes acording to plan. But we all know how that one goes. Recently we have had about five counselors leave us, well quit really. The lack of down time and stress has gotten to them, i think. I didn't really know any of the ones who quit well, they were mostly horseback staff. They had it worse too, i think, because they had to go to the stables earlier than everyone and smell like horse shit all day. I don't blame them.
I wonder how long everyone else will ladt?

Tennis going well ( save the fact that i never get assigned any where else) and we just had an intra-camp game wher sixth and seventh grade boys played Kiuga(i think that is how it is spelt i'm not sure)and we tied three-to-three with them. We have some good kids, particulary the French kids, they are good , but very French, and by that i mean arrongant and annoying most of time. Also right mow we have a camper-counselor tournament wher the kids pick a counselor to play doubles with. I have two partners do to some cofusion and lack of willing and able counselors. Both are like eleven or twelve and ok at tennis. One thinks he is better than he his and a soar loser so we'll see how that goes.

Well i miss everyone and will let you know how the tennis goes

Hey everyone,

We just got back from Dorney Park where we were for a good eight hours. A little tired and soar to say without really neesing to say at all. We started our day at 6 am and left camp around 8 am. It takes about two hors to get there and when we did we went straight to a pavillion where we had lunch around 11. The day was split up into two halves: one half with your cabin( if you have inters(which is what i have) or juniors)and the other half you get to go off on your own. I got the first half off, so Deede took the four girls around the park gid bless her. I went on every rollercoaster they had( it is not that big of a park) with some other people who had first half off. My favorite ride was called Talon it is kinda like the Batman one in Six Flags. They also had a right that was just like V2 but with a different name. That one was extra fun because i got to sit in the front with Nick (he is this tiny guy from Columbia who also teaches tennis with me) and he screamed like a girl in Spanish the whole time, i couldn't stop laughing.

The second half was ok. Girls will be girls so they all wanted to do differnt thing all at the same time and if we don't do what they want to do it is the end of the world and we never listen to them. Ugh! How Deede did this first when they were all hyped up? . . I will never know.
Over a very enjoyable and stressful day.
I have to go to bed now; sooooo tired.

Two weeks down . . .

It has been two weeks of offical camp at Lake Greeley( i'm not counting the week before for orientation, though i should). One of my campers, Maddie D, has left us to spend the rest of her summer with her family. I am sad to see her go she was a fun weird little bugger who had english parents so her and her sister who was here too would go into their english accent, it was really cool, but i can't be too sad cuz she is going to England and France next for a good part of the summer.
Bugger

We get a new girl tomorrow who i think is staying for the rest of the summer. The whole camp is going to an amusement park, Dorney Park, on wednesday, and i am really excited. Rollercoasters!! Oh yeah!
Tomorrow my day off starts at 7 pm and our group is driving to Philly where we will stay at someones place and the next day go to the zoo and chill. Though we make plan who knows how closely we will follow them?

Right now i have internet connection in my cabin cuz ours is the nearest to the lounge that supplies it. If this keeps up hopefully i will be able to post more. Lets hoe!

Love and miss everyone
