Jesus am I tired. Last night was completely chill -- I managed to nail the drunk window, so I was perfect. Today I was beautifully hammered for the first game of the season. UCF is lame. That's that. I'm pissed "Swingtown" was MIA from the day though...don't they realize that the "eat shit, fuck you" cheer will never stop, and they might as ( Read more... )

how much do i love it up here?!?! oh so much, oh so much. The campers come on Wednesday, which is ridiculous. I can't believe I've already gone through a third staff training session, and a third training trip. It's amazing that I have spent 7 summers up here. It's amazing that I completely love it up here. It's amazing that I really don't ( Read more... )

Ah, the traditional "camp manitowish" greeting. And man, am I happy to use it! I love camp oh so much. I am oh so happy to be here. It's been a long time in waiting, that's for sure ( Read more... )

I do love that it is Sunday night. Not because I have to go to work tomorrow, or because I have so much shit to do this coming week I may actually hurt myself, but because in 4 days and 10 hours I will be driving my way up to the Northwoods. I'm uber-excited to be up there. It's the focal point of my summer. And plus once I'm done up there ( ( Read more... )

I don't know why, but I am really anal about being clean. Surprisingly, I don't mean in the hygiene category. If you know me through camp, you know that I can spend 28 days easily without showering while wearing the same thing I did the days/weeks before. I'm talking about organizational cleanliness, room cleanliness. For instance, tomorrow ( Read more... )

I know with that "subject" you're probably busting into that song by Frankie Valens and the Four Seasons...but it's meant to be like "wow, tonight sucked a big one." After the whole bus incident this morning I was pissed, but I calmed down once I went to work, which was surprising. Then I came home to find my sister and mama really steamed...yeah ( Read more... )

It's 10:30 in the morning. I'm in Madison. I'm supposed to be on a bus. I'm really pissed at my brother ( Read more... )

The more and more I work as a "nanny," the more I begin to realize I'm going through a "oh-my-god-my-future-plans-are-changing" phase. I'm one of those people who claim they like spontaneity, but realistically have every minute of their life planned. I know every class I'm going to take for the next four years of college. To even think that ( Read more... )

Man, I can't believe it's only Tuesday. Granted, I'm surprised the past two days have gone by so fast. It's kind of nice, because I realize these next four, well now 3 1/2, weeks until camp will fly by ( Read more... )

Today was a complete lazy day. My parents left for up north, so I had the house to myself all afternoon. It was wonderful ( Read more... )
