Woodward Update #3

Saturday shouldn’t be the day I update this thing.

I don’t really like being here on Saturdays. I have never been homesick before in my life, but on Saturdays I get homesick. That is probably just because I have never really been this far away from home for this long of time. Normally I am within a comfortable driving distance from my family. It is weird not having that here. Whenever I see the camper’s parents, I get like jealous. I miss home.

During the week I love it here. I love hanging with the campers and just enjoying all this place has to offer.

I don’t get to counsel again next week, but I am ok with that. I kind-of like to do the pseudo-counselor thing and just hang out with the action sports girls any time I am free. The only thing I lack is the paycheck. But it is just money, and I guess I don’t really need it.

This past week we had an amazing group of female skaters come through. I have never skated with so many good girls in my life; I just wish my ankle wasn’t still jacked so I could have skated harder with them. Still, it is just fun sessioning with girls. They were all just so cool too, all very different personalities, but all very cool. Just a fun group to be around.

We also had this huge group of rollerbladers come in from Detroit. I broke out my rollerblades last night and did some extreme 8-whelling with them. It was such a great time. Definitely one of the highlights of my week. Rollerbladers are always the nicest, most down to earth people around. I wish skateboarders and snowboarders were that cool.

I think I too often forget about the amazing natural scenery that surrounds me out here. I get so consumed by camp that I forget to look out and see the beauty of the mountains all around me. I want to climb one of these mountains before I leave.

I decided to pick up another three weeks, so I am officially half-way done with my time here. I think I will go home after that and maybe try to work a couple weeks at Springhill. I think that would round out my summer really well.

That’s about it, still doing well, just missing home. My ankle is almost healed, so I will hopefully get to start skating hard again in a couple days.
