Catch Up!! (written on Wednesday)

So, the Fourth of July was fun. We were meant to have a pretty normal day, but there was meant to be a thunder storm in the arvo, so we had a 2 and a half hour "Rest Hour" (we have rest hour every day, but usually its only 40 mins or so by the time you actually get back to your cabin!) So that was nice, we all got rested up for the social at Awosting that night. One of my mates from England wore her "I *heart* GB" top that day, saying GB was for Gary Barlow, the lolz. 

The social was fun. We went over to Awosting for dinner also!

One of the memorable moments of the night was when I was hanging out with a group of counsellors down by the swings and one of guy Sam's kids came up to him and said that they had all danced with a girl except one of the kids. Apparently he had told them if they all danced with a girl, they could stay up a little later. Anyway, Tom and I decided that this was unfair so we took this kid up to the hall and found a girl for him to dance with, and he really got into if for about 3 minutes and then was over it. It was kinda cute though!

All in all it was a good night. No one seemed to over do the whole American-ness of the day which was cool. They did decorate camp up a bit to make it look a little festive though and that was nice, reminded me that something was actually happening!

Fell off my bike the other day, yes, I went biking! Sometimes we get allocated to help out the mountain biking counsellor while she leads and we bring up the rear. We didn't go on that long of a ride and I fell off while I was remembering how to ride/acquainting myself with the bike but it was still fun. The bloody spots looked like a snake bite and that's totally what I told the girls. It was funny seeing how many of them believed me haha.

 The wildlife around camp is funky. There are some gorgeous dragonflies down on the waterfront, and I love watching them. The ants are scarily huge and some of the spiders look a little wacky. The chipmunks and squirrels however are the most exciting part. The chipmunks are a daily sighting, usually around the dining hall or a rubbish (trash) bin, and I'm beginning to get a little freaked out at where they turn up, hoping my room is safe from them! Have only seen a few squirrels here and there and their tails are out of control bushy! Makes my hair look tame haha.

Had another day off on Monday, we were meant to go shooting (LOL) but we turned up to this place in Massachusetts, which was about 2 hours worth of driving with the guys navigating, and it was closed. FAIL!! But we ended up heading to this awesome shopping mall and having a bit of fun there haha. I was very restrained. We went and saw Spiderman that evening, and I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than Ted which we saw last week. Spiderman was AMAZING.

Package from Mum arrived today, yay, I had better go and sort that out, take all my food over to the staff lounge so I don't break our cabin rules and have food in the cabin! *noms on Whitakkers Peppermint Chocolate*

I swear there was more stuff I wanted to say, but I've forgotten it now, I'll post it if it comes back to me.

GO THE HURRICANES!
