Having a great time at camp, it seems as though Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" song will be this summer's "Hollaback Girl". I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.
Some interesting things about our training here; this morning our director informed us he used to use a sock-puppet that spoke only spanish to wake up the kids in the morning, I'm not sure if that's the funniest thing ever or just really frightening. He also gave us a quote from a 5th grader he had once, "I'm really angry so I'm gonna burn this bitch down". Ahhh... camp.
We get kids on Friday so I'm totally excited and scared like crazy in alternating moments. It's like getting ready to jump off a cliff and not knowing if you're gonna fly or fall. I've decided I'm going to fly, taken ownership of that, so hopefully I've figured out how to properly flap my metaphorical wings by the time I need to.
Big props here to all the camp staff I've worked with so far. The most incredible, non-judgemental individuals I've met in my entire life. I got up on stage and performed in a central role for the first time in almost 5 years, something I would've told you two weeks ago I would've been freaked out about but I did it with barely a thought. I feel like I've reclaimed my life and confidence, I've lost some weight and am getting a tan. Miracles and wonders abound. Thank you, my friends.
