well camp has started, kinda. we are still in training but a group camp from louisiana is here for a few days. the kids, thank god, are great, typical 4 and 5 graders, but good kids. the parents are bitches. they continually talk while we try to tell them things and are late and give me and cristina hard times. yeah by the way its 70 people and me and cristina running the camp. yeah me and here took the counselors around this morning and afternoon, but have spent all other time with campers, and had to wake them all up and put them to bed each night. fun shit, let me tell you. hopefully once they leave monday, life wont be so hard, and we can all get some rest. chance is being his typical useless and over critical self. from the looks now, it looks like a repeat from last summer, but for the kids sake i really hope not, cause i dont know if i can make it through another without it having some affect on the kids i take around. but the counselors all seem cool. a couple of annoying ones, but hey its there first yr and they have no idea what they are in for. its me and 4 other guys and like 10 girls as usuall. all of them have bf or some shit except like 4, so yeah good times. they are always on their phones, im not trying to hook up with them, but they always are on the phone with the bf and so there isnt much to do when we have free time. whatever. it looks like another single summer as well, as expected. im determined not to get with any counselors, and my one outside date has yet to call me when i asked her to. so im taking the hint and being done. dont worry its not the first time, there are no circumstances, shes just done apparantly, so whatever. one of the counselors is really cool and cute, but brian already talked about hanging out with her this summer and such, and i cant do that to him, or any of my friends, not since high school. id rather have friends than females. another thing, so yeah im one of 3 returning counselors this yr, so a lot has been put on my shoulders for training and running this camp. i knew it would, but what is starting to suck is that i am realizing i am doing the same amount of work as the other two and they are managers so im getting paid less. its not a significant amount, but still, money is money and god knows i need it.
i guess i just need to remember that this summer is to make money and get by, then im done, i will go home again before working here for the summer if i need to next yr. lets just be optomistic and try and see if i cant make the summer a little better. im just fighting an up hill battle
i just hit another dam big tree (for those of you that remember my poem)
night
