Session one and the one with the weird week

-
So week one went really well. We had over 70 campers which was chaotic and stressful at times but mostly really good. All of the questions I had about my position were answered when I started doing the work.

Last week I was the UL for the Surfers, CapeCod Getaway and All About that Boat which total to around 35 campers and 7 staff members. There were definitely things I could have done better however overall I feel like I did a good job!

This week the total camper population is 30 plus or minus a few (of which 8 are day campers and 4 are interns)and they are only here until Wednesday afternoon. So it is oddly quiet in my opinion! I am the UL for Surfers (a different group of campers this week) and Space Bananas (they renamed themselves after they had to combine Fun without Sun and Day trippers) which totals to 11 campers and 5 staff- I KNOW SIGNIFICANTLY LESS RIGHT! Additionally I am essentially the fun aunt to the interns, I put them to bed and then wake them up in the morning and sometimes we talk but mostly they are independent of me.

I think that is all for now but if there's more I will edit this post later!
Have a great day

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

-
Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

-
This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
