Half Way Through
Tonight is an exciting night here at Vista Camps. It's the Carnival which is all kinds of crazy fun. I'm here in the office manning the phones waiting to be relieved. Camp is great. I wish that every child could come spend at least a week at a place like this. Getting them out of their cities, family lives, and out here in God's country could really open up their lives to new adventures and ideas of what they want their lives to be...
The term is about half way through, and I must say that it has run rather smoothly. There will always be little things here and there that pop up, but little things are all that's gone wrong. I was worried to death about the staff, seeing as how I hired the majority of the new counselors, and that block makes up a large part of the staff. I can't think of any of the counselors that are here that I wouldn't have back in the future.
Which brings me to my final thought for the night. What's in the future? I surely can't be here for much longer. Probably just another two weeks... I want to travel, but that takes money. Why oh why can't the lottery fall in the lap of a bloke like me? Naaaa, I want to earn it. I wouldn't complain much though. What's out there for me though? Maybe some type of 9-5 office job. Sit behind a desk and crunch numbers and do paperwork all day. Naaa, doesn't sound like much fun to me. The way I look at things is the next 6 months will be the most exciting/crazy time of my life. Growing up we always think about what we want to be when we grow up. I wanted to be a vet that didn't work out, I just lost interest. I wanted to be a ball player, baseball, football, whatever, but that didn't work out, my athletic ability cut out when I was about 14. I should have taken up golf. I'd probably be a millionaire by now. Or not, regardless, what's gonna happen?
I wish I could post on this thing much more often. It's somewhat therapeutic, thinking about all your problem, and just putting out in front of you. The last few weeks have been tons of fun here at camp, but at the same time extremely frustrating because there isn't just a whole lot of direction thrown my way. Had I been thinking I would have come here and typed on it. Oh well, all is well here in Vista Land!
