well camp is still rolling. its half done for me. its weird to have time go so fast. at camp, we usually judge time by the day of the week or simply by what week it is. i feel like ive been there for months and yet have months to go... however i know that i only got 4 weeks left on my own.
im excited. i have people planning on visiting me now! its great to hear that some of you out there still know im alive.
i guess youre planning on me talking about camp...
well; camp is awesome. i feel like almost everybody there cares about me... not like a close friend but someone to always watch you. this was evident last week when i blew a tire on the road and some staff helped me. However, there are some staff i cant stand. one is annoying and talks about anything and everything. he also has been institutionalized and talks about suicide... not good. another is a guy who is serious about everything. hes cocky and bossy and tries to run or input on everything... he takes games too seriously and is giving ME advice on things... and he's younger than i am.
but there are wonderful staff. im really getting along with a handful of the staff. i feel like ive made some good friends. although one bad part of camp is the girls. not that the girls are bad; its just we only got 5 of them! being around guys alllllll the time really gets to you. plus its not helping at all that i got a crush on one of the girls. but thats not really up for discussion here.
fishing is great! we got loads of bluegills and bass on the lake the camp surrounds. big bluegills too. i caught one that was over 10 inches and a few close to 12. bass are too popular so they remain small. ive heard theres some big ones lurking out there. Theres also crappies. not as common but big. saw an 11 incher 2 weeks ago. Oh and the bluegills are viscious! 1st week when the water was higher we had adults say they were hitting buzzbaits.... sunfish attacking buzzbaits! anyways, besides those we also got perch. big ones. i havent seen any small ones but like the crappie, the ones ive seen are huge. there was a 12 incher pulled up. there is also bullheads; but ive only seen them between the shore and boats and none over 4 inches... so i hope i can control some of them.
speaking of fishing, i got my paycheck friday. i deposited it today and spent $300 on a fly rod and reel. i figure id take adcive someone gave me and buy one with all the money i got. ill be needing it when im out in montana. i also now gotta spend $200 on my motor getting fixed and i spent $70 on a new tire when mine blew. also i got almost $400 on college books coming up. and guess what? i still got money left! i feel rich!
but the rest is for college... i promise.
