June Second.

The end of my second week of camp leaves me with a feeling of indifference. This next week is my last scheduled week and I am considering asking for more weeks. I thought that I would for sure want to stay here as long as possible, but now I am not so sure. Some of the negative points I outlined in my last post are weighing on me and part of me just wants to go back home and maybe out to Springhill. Still there is that other part of me who is having a really fun time, I get to skate, hang out with kids, make new friends and live at the one and only camp Woodward. I mean, who could complain about that. I will make my decision and talk to the bosses tomorrow. We will see what happens.

Not counseling wasn’t that bad, and that is a blessing, seeing as I am doing it once again this week. I still managed to be a part of the female action sports cabin’s lives and I plan on doing the same thing this week. The free time is nice to. The only bummer is, quite honestly, the lack of counselor paycheck. I really need to make all the money I can while I am here because Tahoe is looking more and more certain. But, I will suck it up and not counsel for another week. I can still make a difference, I just have to do it 100% for the kids and not for me.

Skating wise, I am struggling. I am not learning new stuff like I was hoping I would. I am sort of intimidated by the skill level of the other skaters here. For a while, that really bummed me out, but I think it is helping me realize that I put too much pressure on myself and I need to focus more on just skating for fun. I, like, sprained my ankle on Wednesday and I have been out ever since. That is also a bummer, but it is fun to just hang out here as well.

So yeah, I am having a fun time here, but it isn’t all fun and games like I thought it would be. The good times are really good, and in the bad times I just have to remember how good this job will look on my resume. I am looking forward to this next week, to healing, to becoming even more comfortable here, and enjoying whatever this adventure throws at me next.

Still haven’t taken a single picture… it will happen.
