Let me just give you the run-down on my life at the moment...
1. I have 23 fourteen year old girls to chase after. All day, every day.
2. Yesterday, one of my girls took a dirty rag, in the middle of dinner, and wrung it out over another girls head... Really? How old are you?
3. It is two weeks into camp, and I just now got a master key. Before today, I was completely unable to open the climbing closet, which houses all the harnesses and helmets that I need to teach class every day.
4. I have learned that I love teaching climbing. And pretty much all outdoor things.
5. I have also learned that I very much dislike sassiness, and do not tolerate it.
6. I have also learned that I only like teaching people who are really interested in learning.
7. I am so very, very tired.
8. Bed time is ten, but a girl found a bug next to her bed and freaked out and my entire cabin was up until 10:45. I was the only counselor in the cabin, trying to quiet twenty three girls. The next morning, the counselors from across the road told me they couldn't sleep because we were so loud. Fail.
9. There are moments when I believe I am the worst camp counselor ever.
10. I have a new outdoor hobby: kayaking. More on this later.
11. The hardest part of camp (for me) is finding quiet time. Time to read my bible and re-charge so that I can love my girls well. I am still struggling to find a balance in that.
12. There are things about this camp that I absolutely love. There are also things about camp that just make me miss Young Life, and the way that they do camp.
13. Staff worship tonight!!
