| Since when did this happen?So many times we can look at the next generation and think "they have so much to learn, and we should be the ones to teach them!" But that mentality makes me worry sometimes...when it's used as a blanket statement about everyone in the next generation needing to learn everything from our generation. Honestly, our generation is really messed up too, and there are some in the next that are amazing!
One of the girls who was in my cabin the past two weeks is a great example of this! She has a strong desire for God, encourages people everywhere, loves them sincerely, and is so full of joy that it was a ministry to me... She is missed so much, by myself and some of the girls who are staying for a month, and at the same time it is really exciting to see some of the other girls staying for a month continue to grow and be leaders. It's almost like they have the opportunity to step up and lead...and they're doing it! :)
These girls have taught me so much about who I am as a person; strengths, weaknesses, and stuff that I never would have noticed! They also ask questions during Bible study and devos that I never would have thought about at 11 years old. It's kinda crazy, and really awesome at the same time!
We do have some drama queens this time around, but I think it will work out ok. Dolfi is sitting next to me right now, and she was the counselor last year....she has so much insight that it blows me away. I just wish that we had more time to spend together.
Well, time to go do some other stuff, maybe take a cold shower because it's freaking hot here! | | |
| Update from the campgroundsWell, things are going well out here, but it is stressful.
College may reinvent the awesome nature of nap time, but camp counseling is like the major leagues of nap time. Almost every time the girls take a nap during rest hour, I'm asleep too. It's great, but sometimes I feel bad....oh well. Counselors need sleep to survive too, right? :)
Tomorrow I will be away from campers most of day, and the Chamois girls (my cabin) will be off on a hike with Whitney (co-counselor). I know that it will be a good time for them, but I also know that tomorrow is needed for me to relax and take time to just be me again, instead of the one always enforcing the rules and saying "time for the next activity!"
One of the Unit Directors reminds me a lot of Pastor Ben. It's freaky...but in a good way. Pastor Ben is awesome and so is Bode, so it's ok.
I'm glad that Mishne is a counselor here, too, and that he set me up to apply and such. Also, even though most people know this already, he is a genius working with little kids. I do not have that much patience when kids are going psycho from sugar highs and being drama queens....and kings....
So this one doesn't have a lot to do with camp directly, but Mike is doing well in K'vo. He is safe and enjoying himself, so that is a great relief to me. 
Alright, it's time to finish eating this little pack of oreos and then run to the evening meeting with fellow female staffers....and then, dinner!!! | | |
| Miscellany...I can't really explain the strange feeling I have right now in any other terms than "strange". It's a combination between something that is knowledge and something that is....humorously possible. Yeah, so that probably wasn't the most intelligent statement in the world, but it's May term and we're covering about one week's worth of material in each session. May term has become my excuse for not thinking straight and still being a little slap happy at times. Yup.
These aren't even issues that I really need to be thinking about, but they keep running through my head and driving me a little crazy....grrr.
On another note, last night my brain went a bit "what if" last night during the tornado warning. Whenever there is a warning or watch for some form of what could be a natural disaster, I start to think about all the things that I would like to do before dying. Not so much in a morbid sense, but it's like....what about the friendship that you would like to mend?...The words that you really want to say to someone, but can't or haven't had to right opportunity to address?... The loose ends in life that you wish could be tied up neatly before anything bad happens that could prevent it....temporarily or permanently.... These are not fun thoughts, but that's what happens in my brain when there is a tornado watch. Granted, whenever I think of a tornado, scenes from the movie Twister flash through my head. Huge tornadoes, mass amounts of damage, cows flying through the air and homes being completely demolished. Hurricanes are usually ok, we have those back home. Tornadoes? Not so much. Plus, ever since applying to Cedarville, my grandmother has been afraid of a tornado coming through the area and wiping out the campus. | | |
| Because I'm Curious...After reading something written by one of my fellow May term-ers (thanks Charlie!), I have decided to ask the same question to my guy friends in the world of xanga and facebook....here it goes.
Do you prefer girls to wear makeup, or no makeup?
Go ahead, be honest with your answers. I am geniunely interested in what you all have to say. | | |
