So tech week is going well, we had our first play last night as well as the dance show, the dancers were amazing and Im fairly sure have inspired me to take a couple of classes before I leave, Ive been meaning to go back to ballet for years and I think now may be the perfect time! The play was good, it was a comedy about the final dress rehearsal of a cast who were putting on Cinderella. Little confusing in places, we never knew if they'd actually forgotten their lines or if it was part of the script but I guess thats part of the beauty!! Sat feeling like a proud parent as several of the girls in my bunk were performing, its weird to see how talented they all are! And to think that in 4 days they'll all be gone and we'll be waiting for a new lot! Time seems to last forever here (mostly because the days are 14 hours long so breakfast seems like it happened several days previous!) but at the same time I cant believe that Session 1 is nearly over! I met one of my girls' parents yesterday, it was weird but really lovely, she wasn't what I expected and said how she'd heard all about how lovely we all were! It'll be interesting to meet some of the other parents, there are definitely a few kids (although not from my bunk) I cant wait to see where they come from!!
Have had some rather rubbish news today, thats caused several sulks over camp, and from the counsellors for once, not the kids!! We've been told we cant take a camp vehicle much past Lake Placid, a town thats an hour away, that has marginally more shops than Long Lake but not many. So this puts total squash on our plans for Montreal and Vermont, unless we can convince one of the returners who has a car on our day off that they want to go to. Which for Montreal may be possible but is unlikely for Vermont (no Ben & Jerry's factory, you have no idea how much this devastates me!!!) and even then there are waaaaay to many of us off for us to all fit into the number of cars there are so it means that we wont all get to go even if thats the plan for the day. So that very much sucks and there are a few not very happy campers around today! The plan for tomorrow now is probably to get a motel tonight so we can get a decent nights sleep, even on your day off the kids get you up at 7 and its impossible to go back to sleep so its not much of a day off!! But we'll see, obviously things havent been going very to plan recently with days off!!
The sun's back, so its back to shorts, apparently this kind of weather is unprecedented in the Adirondacks, just wish someone could have predicted it before I bought my wellies!! Still havent worn them, am considering wearing them down to the lake just to let them feel water!!
Had our penultimate Pirates rehearsal today, its sounding much better, and although I cant play it all I can play more of it! Luckily the girl who teaches strings, Ally, is playing the 2nd flute part (but on a violin) and is a slight genuis at it, so there's always someone playing God bless her!! Our performance is Friday night, and Ill be glad when its over! Its nice to experience being in the pits though, although slightly annoying that I cant see the show thats on, just hear it! How the kids have learnt everything for all the shows is beyond me, but I guess thats why Im the counsellor and they're the arts kids!!
Right Im off to count down the hours till my 26 hours off, woop!!!! :)
