So when last I posted I was sulking. Dont ever let anybody tell you this doesnt work! Just hours into my sulk about having to stay on camp on my days off as transport was unavailable, one of the nurses overheard my moanings to one of the other counsellors and God love her, offered to lend us her car to go to Vermont!! Cue much excitement, so on Thursday thats where we went! Am monumentally proud that I managed to drive interstate without dying and/or driving on the wrong side of the road, and so 5 of us managed to have a very lovely day off. We went to a place called Burlington in Vermont, which is a lovely town with actual shops, very excitingly, although I have to say I got a bit overwhelmed with going from no shops to so many and didnt actually manage to buy a lot! :/ We also took a trip 30 minutes down the road to the Ben and Jerrys factory, which was EPICALLY exciting! Mostly for me if Im being honest, bless everyone else for tolerating my determination to go there! I got some amazing Ben and Jerrys cow socks and enjoyed some samples, and as a warning, am going to bring this up every single time I have Ben and Jerrys for the next 5 years. At least. Just so you know! :D
But sadly that nurse has now left, along with most of the kids!! Because session 1 is over!! Woop! Tonight my bunk is childless, which is going to be amazing, Im off to bed very shortly to continue the nap I had for 4 hours today! Sleep is hard to come by in this place so we're taking all the opportunities to have it we can!! New kids arrive tomorrow, quite excited to meet a whole new bunch, and cross my fingers that this lot stay nice, the last bunch had definitely gone downhill by yesterday and (which is sad) I dont think any of us were sad to see the back of them! But hey ho, new kids, new start, should be great!!
The weekend shows were AMAZING!! The kids put on such an awesome show of Little Shop, I was actually taken aback by the talent that they have! The 2 leads are definitely ending up on Broadway, Im gonna watch out for them!! Everything went better than the weeks performances, which given how some of them went, is phenomenal!! Tomorrow sees me starting the music for West Side Story, we also find out what other shows we're doing around Wednesday, but MUCHOS exciting news for 3rd session, one of the directors is doing Fame!!! Eeeeeeee!! Ive demanded that if a flute part doesnt exist, one is created, I actually cant wait! (ah the life of a Music Geek!!)
Im definitely going to do better at keeping up with people this week, let me know what times people are free for phone calls, and Mum sorry Ive not emailed you back, let me know your off duty and Ill give you a call. Parents weekend really made me miss people, I wish I had people to come see me who I could show off camp to!! But never mind you can all see the photos when I get home. Ha. Try to get away.
Hugs to everyone!! :) xxxxxx
