So, camp is taking an interesting twist this summer.
I just sent my application in. I've applied for the assistant riding director spot, and want it so bad, but I have two people potentially in the way. I've been informed that Sue from a couple summers ago wants to return and supposedly has paid her money to camp America already. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have her back, but she'd probably get the ARD position before I would. The only thing working in my favor here is that she's said she's coming back for years and never has made it, so this could just be her annual "I want to come back and will but not really". Ok so there's that.
Then Cazaa said she's coming back but I'm not 100% sure about that. She'd also technically have seniority over me for that position, because she has an extra year of riding staff experience. I just think she's too quiet to be in a leadership role--which wouldn't be bad, but Liz is quite quiet too. I like Cazaa, she's nice and a great teacher, but after this past summer, I don't trust her 100%.
I'm one of the first to send my application in which could mean that I have a good shot at getting the ARD spot--but it could also mean that we'll all get hired as riding staff and one person will get promoted later, when they have a better idea of who's coming back. I don't want to wait and I just don't want to necessarily be on riding staff anymore. I have so much more to offer. Keep your fingers crossed for me--this isn't the best way to start 2008...
