heard outside of Hampshire DC today around 10am:

Oh my GOD I woke up this morning and I was like ew, my hair is so dark! I didn't even want to come outside!!!

Good grief Charlie Brown the world is in such shape....

Oh being back at school is simply glorious. I am so glad that I moved in early. Heather, Pat, Lora, and I have certainly had some good times so far and eaten some really good food since the dining halls only opened today. Our room setup is amazing yet again, and we just rock. It took us the majority of two days to decorate but it finally came ( Read more... )

So tomorrow I move back to campus to start my junior year. WOOOOOO!!!! I am so psyched...more so than when I was getting ready for freshman and sophomore year and I'm not sure why, but I'll take it. Sure, lugging all my crap in with my dad is going to suck balls, but once it's over and I start working on my room with Heather it will be wonderful. ( Read more... )

Holy crap this is my last day as a 20 year old fool. Tomorrow, thanks to the magic of modern calendarized time, I become a 21 year old adult...fool. I remember when my cousin Susan turned 21 over a decade ago. We were on the beach the night before and talking about how it was her last night as a child, and I thought holy crap she was so old and ( Read more... )

Well camp is finally over. After 8 kind of long but quick at the same time weeks, my days no longer start before 7 and no longer end with playdoh, snot, mud, and other various fluids covering my fragile self. I am really going to miss my counselors. I'm not sure that we would have ever been friends in any other situation, but they are so awesome ( Read more... )

One more week of camp left. If I said I wasn't a little excited I'd be lying. Sadly however I will actually miss the counselors I've been working with. If you had told me before I started that I would get along so well with people younger than my brother I'd be a bit skeptical, but we definitely have our moments of laughter and life wisdom in ( Read more... )

What a week. It was hot as nothing short of balls, and with 30 kids to entertain/make sure they don't die of exhaustion, everyone was a little tense. I got completely bitched out by this psychotic father whose other extreme of his bipolar self later apologized, but it was still something that shook me up a little and I'd rather have not dealt with ( Read more... )

This past week was awful. My EMT shift went ridiculously horrible, all other EMT business is going ridiculously horrible, my campers were so poorly behaved it was as if they were different kids and time outs were a dime a dozen, and from all the stress I was slammed by a pretty crappy cold that knocked me out for a few days, and here I am, back at ( Read more... )

Water War, day 2. It started out typically enough; the kids were in their swimsuits and I was spraying them with the sprinkler they had dubbed the "evil lasers" when the urge came over me to attack Chris. With Cate's encouragement, I quickly moved into attack mode and ran after him, dousing him pretty good if I do say so. I expected some ( Read more... )

Good weekend. Learned a lot about people I thought I knew. Some not so good, some better than expected, but none of it resulting from myself, so whatever. Today was literally hot as balls. My campers were as determined as ever to spend all day running around hard core, but it was legitimately dangerous. After popsicles and a dozen water breaks not ( Read more... )
