The one with the raccoon*

-



Since we last left off, I had a wild sticky messy week with Day camp and it was so nice to just be with kids. I then had 36 hours off and came right back to being a UL. I worked primarily with a sailing group and a combo marine biology/boating group. It was a weird week and I really just felt like an extra set of hands than a helpful supervisor but I think that is because people still had to take their days off.

This upcoming session I am the UL for the samplers (brownies and juniors who are only here for two days) and the s’maco bake off and I am so excited. I think it is going to be a really fun week! 

Now you may be wondering what the title is about. Well during the second week, I still lived in Newport with the bikers but the bikers went off on an overnight. While they were gone me and another staff member went to the pavilion so Could charge the walkie-talkie but when we got there the door was open. At first I thought nothing of it but then as I  walk in I saw a fuzzy tail and beady eyes staring back at me. I FREAKED OUT.  It then took us over an hour to get him out of there and it was honestly in my top three worst camp experiences. 



* one last thing. One of the staff that I have become closer with and was recently a UL for pestered me so much that I finally gave her the link to my blog so here is a little shout out to my turtle-y friend.

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.
