Entry 4 of 13 | show all | print this entry |
Hey guys
Well I've been busy as hell the past few days, this is the first 20mins
I've had off since Friday night!! I went to Wyonegonic Camp for the
archery course Saturday morning, really early so I wasn't looking
forward to it! There were 14 of us, I met a Welsh bloke, an Irish
bloke, a Scottish girl and an American girl who were all really nice so
we hung out for the two days. The instructor Marcia was awesome, she
was a bit nuts but really built up my confidence in my archery skills
and taught us some good drills and safety procedures...I even managed
to pull off teaching a sample lesson! Some of us went off camp when we
finished our homework after dinner the first night and had a drive
around for a bit, I wanted to stop at an icecream parlour or see a
drive in movie but we couldnt find any...little did we know a big blues
festival weas going on in the next town across! The camp was crap
though, it was really cliquey, there was no electricity in the bunks
either and the toilets were miles away! There was no room in everyone
elses camp when we first arrived so me and Ashley, someone on the
archery course, had to go into a 12 bed bunk on our own, it was awful!
I woke up in the middle of the night and I've never been somewhere so
dark, I had to wake her up and make her walk to the toilet block with
me! I managed to pass the archery test...88%..woo...so now I'm Camp
Pinecliffe's official archery instructor!!
I got back yesterday after lunch and found out I'd missed out on a
staff party, which sucks! Our rest hours have been cancelled for the
past 3 days too because it's getting pretty hectic around here! Found
out I've been allocated bunk counsellor for the 11 year olds...we call
them the Pines...Anne and I have 9 girls and we have a new bunk so it's
pretty cool and the counsellors get their own bunk section. Yesterday I
came straight from the course and had to spend the next 3 hours making
beds and unpacking all the girls' stuff which they send before they
come to camp..and they each have at least 2 huge duffle bags each! It's
insane how much these girls bring to camp! We were so knackered by the
end of it, I should've taken pictures, i didn't even have time to
unpack my own stuff!
I'll update you on Doctor Bob...my god Americans love their group
therapy sessions...when I have another few minutes spare...got a date
with a bowstringer and also a trip to the local boys camp for a social
tonight to prepare for! It'll probably be tomorrow...think I might have
a half day off.....woooooo!!!
