New Times at Camp

So I have started my new time at my camp. It has been an amazing experience so far with meeting all the people in this "community" and learning all the different things about camp here. I couldn't have asked for a better office. This is my office every day:

I get to see this everyday. I am so excited. I have lived everyday since at this area except when I have other meetings and even then I ask if they can be down by the lake.

So far I have taught a full lifeguard course, a CPR challenge, a lifeguard challenge, lifeguard verification, and also swim observations for half the staff here, which is about 80 people.

We have people from all over the world. They range from Columbia to Poland. Their job descriptions vary also from kitchen to directors of activities. It is a pretty neat kind of atmosphere that can only be explained by being a counselor. The kind of family bond that you get with people from here is amazing. We only have been with one another for a few weeks and the bonds that are formed are already amazing.

There is an amazing game here that I want to bring home. Think about four square, add some volleyball, and then add a trampoline. It is amazing!!!!!

New Adventures

I know that no one is most likely not reading this but...... I am soooo excited for this adventure to start.

I am finally done with my Water Safety course and I passed which means I can actually teach swimming to people and know what I am doing. The class was really fun when we weren't freezing in the water the last week. They had us swimming close to a mile everyday and I am scared to say I am actually going to miss swimming that much. I felt so much better after doing that. We did three teach backs which mean we actually have to give a lesson to our peers and then they tell us what we did good and what we could improve on.

The next adventure is going to MN to take a Lifeguard Instructor course. It is a 4 day course that I get certified in like 8 different things by next Wednesday. I have go to MN since the instructor quit his job in Orlando. Still miffed at that but I get to see my brother-in-law while I am in MN so it is a little better.

After my course there, I am traveling with a staff member to WI to where my camp is. I am really excited. This camp has done a lot for me and I can't wait to start teaching and give back to the people there that have so much faith in me. It will be a lot of sleepless nights but I am excited to start. It is a lot of responsibility but I think I can take it.

I will post more when I get the chance to. I will even add pictures.

Why shouldn't I be my worst critic?

The pas few days I have been self thinking and I hate doing this but it makes me wonder how my life turned out this way and it kinda disappoints me. I have become the girl that I loathed in high school and told myself I would never become. Oh did I get to become this?

Update session

So for an update....

I have lost about 5 pounds now, so I am on my way.

So I have a new job for the summer, I am waterfront director at a boys camp. I am so nervous but exciting at the same time. The people that are getting certified for lifeguarding and CPR are not going to like me at all during that week. Tests are going to be everywhere that day.

Finals week is coming up and I am ready to bite the dust. After the 19th when all my training is done I am sleeping and working non-stop until I leave.

New Direction?

So I got another job offer for this summer and I am really deciding against going to the Girl Scout camp in PA. I am not really sure yet. I have an interview with the new camp on Monday. I don't know what to do.

There are some pros and cons:

Some pros of the new job:

• Better position
• Better salary
• Don't have to sleep outdoors
• I am actually in the mountains

Some cons of the job:

• I have to get more certification in lifeguard
• Change my plane ticket

My one a day

SO my endeavors into weight loss has been at a loss. I am even more determined to do it this time. I have started preparing my meals ahead of time and done grocery shopping for such things. Shoot I even bought a book where I can track everything and it has helped because it is front and center and I am aware of everything that I am eating.

I have decided that I am going to find one spot a day where I can relax either in my room or any other spot. I will take a picture and describe what feelings where felt there.

One of my friends makes her blog everyday and I am inspired that I can do it everyday. Here's to a one-a-days all around.

Inspriation.

So I have come to the conclusion this week that I am going to do something.....













Brace yourselves......




















2015: I will be graduated with a Master's in Ocean Engineering, Bachelor's in Theater and Dance, and a minor in Math.





I know that right now it seems impossible but I am going to do it. I want to be the accomplished one at my 10 year high school reunion in 2017. I know that life gets in the way but that is what I want right now. It will be epic!!!!!

The next thing I am doing, is that I am going to learn all different dances from around the world. I went to see Lord of the Dance last night in 3D at the movie theater and it still inspires me to actually do it. I now have a list of different dances I want to learn. So my goal is to be in the best physical shape by August of 2011, maybe September. I will give myself some leeway but that is it. September I will be in the best possible shape.

I will tell you three dances I want to learn:

1. Irish soft shoe
2. Irish hard shoe
3. Pointe

That is the only thing I will give you. Actually I am going to use this blog to write down my journeys along this road and hopefully I can aspire others just like some people have inspired me.

A Picture a Day

November 6th, 2010.

We have got a new fish, his name is Bruce. It is a betta that is red and blue. It was supposed to be a joke but now we like him. We spent almost 15 mins picking out the coral and everything to match. You could tell it was a girl that picked it out and stuff.

Update

So I haven't updated but that is because I have been so busy lately with finals coming and my dance show but now the dance show is done and over with. It was amazing.

Yes update on exercising. Everyday since because of dance I have been vigorously dancing between 2 to 4 hours a day without A/C and in Florida that's freaking crazy. We were all sweating our butts off. I have been walking everywhere at school and up the stairs like so many times.

My next vow after finals week is to walk to the beach everyday ( except Sunday) and back. I will do two things on my list at one time. Suntan and get my exercise. Yes!

Not Joking Around Anymore

So I am watching the show "Biggest Loser" and I see what they go through and I am fully ready to everything it takes to lose my weight. I am actually going to keep a blog of what I am going to do. Hopefully I can aspire someone one day.
