Campers arrive today!!

(I wrote this all last night)

Wooo so another camp blog!

Its been hot, seriously hot (and yesterday we even had a thunder storm that put a tree through a cabin over at Awosting!). On Wednesday and Thursday it got up to around 33-35degrees Celsius (we have to define which system we use here lol). Its definitely been a new experience for me there!

On Wednesday we went to a theme park about an hour away with some of the guys from Awosting. It was our day off and the camp put on a trip for those of us who wanted to go which was awesome. It was sooo hot. Its called Lake Compounce and its half theme park, half water park which was perfect! Ended up with a random group of people which included one guy who was quite happy to sit out of the rollercoasters with me (he even got strapped into a ride but just when they were about to take off, asked yo be taken out, poor guy) so that was a little better than sitting by myself. The water park part was great! So many fun water slides and fun things to cool ones self off in such ridiculous heat. So that was quite a fun day. Apparently we take the campers there throughout the summer too. Came back in the evening and went out for a nice dinner with some camp friends (posted this pic on fb but I'll stick it her too for reference). Free wifi!!

L to R - Maggie (Music), Amanda (Sport), Hannah (Journalism), Malia (Camper), Joan (Nurse), Emily (Camper) and Katie (Gymnastics and cabin mate)

On the way back to camp, I got dropped off at the local bar wher most of the counsellors were so hung out there for a little which was fun. I didn't dare drink anything though, they give you pretty much half a glass of vodka for a vodka cranberry, a dash of cranberry and then ice. Overkill much?

Thursday was also super hot, I even got in the lake twice!! Also, Thursday was the day of finding out days off, cabins and the epic Walmart trip. So, I got Mondays off with a whole bunch of fun people from both Chinqueka and Awosting. I ended up in Cabin Six which is the first intermediate cabin, ages ten/eleven. Quite happy. Am with a chick from England who I get along with quite well. We also have a counselor-in-training (CIT) in our cabin which is cool. Shes 16 from New Jersey and has been here for a few summers so its nice to have someone to chat to about how things happen. When we went to Walmart, we got heaps of cool stuff for our cabin, like some awesome magazines with One Direction posters in them which we have plasterd around the cabin and stuff so its pretty cool. We actually put up a whole lot of balloons up but today found out that one of our campers has a severe latex allergy, so we are about to go and take all them down. Photos from said Cabin -

Yes, thats all my bathroom stuff haha

Walmart was awesome. I spent a lot of money, but I can't quite figure out what on. But its all justified stuff haha. I went to a shoe shop also and got some "styley"crocs cos we have to wear closed toe shoes in the dining hall, and pretty much all around camp! It was a fun experience though, a lot of of the guys thought I was a little crazy haha.

Yesterday we pretty much just set up the cabin and I finally have my awesome new computer to edit on, so I worked on that pretty much all day. Oh yeah, we went to Social Security and I had such a cool lady. She was like "oh, Emma is your middle name? Man, Prince William has so many middle names". Me "yeah, Arthur Philip Louis" her "you know them?"me "yep, it was his birthday yesterday" her "I know!" me *lady, you're awesome* hahahaha.

So yeah, campers arrive tomorrow. Excited but slightly nervous cos I'm not really sure what to expect but fingers crossed it all works out!

Hopefully I'll get some stamps soon and send out all the postcards from LA that have been sitting around waiting to be sent!

Miss you all! Xx
