Well, today was just about perfect. If I could have imagined what the ideal camp counselor day would look like, at least for a beginner, this would have been it. I made the mistake of eating breakfast, cause it was there, and paid for it early on. The kids came in between 3 and 4 with the exception of a couple at 7. They are ultimatly a good bunch of 9 kids between 12-16 years of age. Their is the all to active and loud one, the couple of trouble makers who began immediatly, and the personally familiar quiet guy on the far side of the room who is steadily opening up. Right away, as planned I'm sure, I was left to "fend for myself" as the kids and parents came in. Granted I was in good hands I will say that that beginning and the series of events following went very well. I didn't react badly and yes "I am making many new friends at camp". One of which is a large (sorry, but it's true) 14 year olf girl who is very giggaly and couldn't stop talking if she wanted to. She has quite the crush on me which is weird. To be honest I try to avoid her a good bit cause she seems to be the obsessive type. Anyway, aside from the two troublemakers and the large girl this should be relatively easy, not that I'm goping to promise myself that. So it's 11:11 now and they are asleep. I need a shower very badly. Oh and the campfire worship service is awesome. Though I wonder how much they understood. That, I suppose, is not an issue as long as we try to convey it as appropriatly as possible. The singing is also very comforting for me. Got to go! 6:15 wake up call.
G'night.
