"The entire world is just a very narrow bridge
And what matters is not to be afraid."
Yes, I'm working at a Jewish day camp this summer! I hated day camp as a kid, but I loved sleep away camp, and that was a Jewish camp, so somehow it all fits together. Most of the girls I'm working with are so sweet, it makes me so happy. It takes up my entire day and all my thoughts. I never knew I'd love being a counselor this much. Even the pain in the necks in my group are nice kids, and everyone gets along. It's surprising, and so nice. I have one of two 3rd grade girls bunks. The other one has a girl named Leora in it. She's a real pain, a total pain. That's not cool. But, there's a counselor named Leora who's with the 4th grade girls, and she's awesome, so my HOL name is redeemed.
It's a little strange for me to be a counselor in a religious camp, since I'm not at all observant at home. Well... mostly not observant. Though at my sleepaway camp we did prayers, this camp has more of a religious atmosphere. The kids expect that I know the words to their prayers - some of them are just understanding that I graduated from public school and that I got my Jewish education twice a week for two hours at a time, and from summer camp. I'm really like the whole thing though. Even though I'm not sure about my religious convictions - some of my friends find it weird that I even think there is a G-d - I like the religious aspect of the camp. It makes the camp more interesting, because I'm learning new things in the process.
I just got my laptop for college. My computer broke early June, and I was on my mother's - that's why I haven't updated at all, and why I haven't commented on anybody's LJs. I'm really updating because Faye told me to! *G* I can't believe I'm almost going to college... Oh so anyway, I couldn't update from my mom's computer because I didn't want her to accidently see my LJ.
