And the blue sky is cloudy once again

Rain rain... go away!

So, its been a couple days and I figured I better post something exciting! I just basically have finished my training at Wavus and the kids come tomorrow. *miXed FellIngS of "yippie" and "oh no!" - This past week seems like it could have been a months worth of time or also it seems like it has gone by fast. I am not as home sick as I thought I would be. In fact I just went home the last couple of nights and they were nice but home is hectic with many distractions and responsibilities. I also have trouble saying goodbye to my lovey dovey- seeing him makes me more home sick- its like constantly having to say goodbye to someone. Wavus however is the exact opposite of my home life.

Camp although unorganized at times -leaving you with a "uhh what do i do now" sense is very structured. Maybe I feel that way because I know exactly when my meals are coming. At home I am lucky if I am fed. hahaaha. I didnt think I was one of those people that needed plans and a day planner but I have been keeping a journal and just knowing what I am doing day to day is kinda nice. It reminds me of freshman year of college. I guess its the idea that I am never bored here. The environment is truly beautiful as well.

I have finally remembered to grab my camera cord so I will have to post my pictures asap.

I guess this is all the "exciting" information I have to share. I am desperately exhausted and its "free time" so i think I will go take a nap. realllll exciting asia.....

Day Dreaming When Driving

So I was really excited to blog this afternoon when I was driving back to Wavus for the long hull. Yet, no that im typing my mind has gone blank. I think I was going write about.. well I know I was going to write about land-marks on newly driven roads and how I would explain to friends "how to get to Wavus"....... and how stupid things just pop out at me. Like there is this place with a sign that says "Feed the Birds" and even the first time I drove up here I giggled.... I really have no clue what the store or the house is.... do you stop in and feed birds? Maine is so silly. I also noticed things that are generic like shaws. I should have stopped and taken pictures of these things.

I also was marking how long my trip was... this time I got 38 miles.... but thats clocking from my drive-way. I have clocked it 3 times now and I don't know why it matters. I think I am seriously obsessed with the idea of telling "all" of my (3) friends to keep going straight on route 1 and when then sounds smart and say its exactly 23 miles to "the rest stop" and right after the rest stop you will see a sign that says "feed the birds" - man i really love that sign. In fact after that area... the rest of the ride is really dull. In fact I am really excited to state " once you turn on to 23 be prepared for the most boring 8 miles of your life". Seriously the last 8 miles to Wavus blow. For some reason I always find myself going 50mph and someone on my ass wanting to go even faster on a back country road thats twisty and hilly. I end up getting all nervous and feel forced to go faster. I actually start to sweat. phew..

Meanwhile I was day dreaming probably for the first 14.5 miles of my trip where I suddenly found myself already past Bath and wondered "how the hell did i end up here". Does that ever happen to anyone else? You start driving and then suddenly realize you are actually driving - hmmm "real safe asia". Not to make matters even more on safe but I started snapping pictures of my self as I was driving specifically so I could post them on here and share with you how I look as I drive... real sweet of me i think.

Anyway, Im not quite satisfied with how this blog is turning out. I felt like I was going to be incredible witty with the great landmarks and ideas that were popping in my head but it seems as those my brain has turned into jello now.
9:14pm over and out - 10-4

- pictures to come- left my cord at home... : (

Sore Muscles (mus-kuls)

I always had really great arm strength, especially for a girl. I could arm wrestle all the boys and win. I like to think it was that I was just plain awesome vs. good blue "jeans". However either some point in time I must have become un-awesome or my jeans just got holey because my arms just aint what they used to be.

The last three days I was training at Wavus for the ropes course and was really distraught that my arms had become complete weenies. The first day I felt O.K. and enjoyed the slight pain of growing muscles as I climbed the trees monkey style (munkeeeey you there?- ha * kiss lj* ). After the first day of training was over I went out on a kayak and really noticed how I was the slowest paddler. By the second day my ambitious nature started to fail and I quickly was becoming fatigued. I wanted to continue climbing the trees limbs but my limbs felt shaky and achy. By the third and final day I desperately attempted a climb-pushing to reach the top but fell short - real short. I just couldnt climb. I was getting one of those bob horses or charlie horse if you prefer in my legs and my arms not only felt like J-E-L-L-O but they actually looked and became jello. I actually ate them - cherry flavor. In addition belaying... spelled right? Is no joke a hard work... pulling that cord to provide the perfect amount of slack and continuing breaking position is not a simple task... for me and my jello weenies. Nonetheless I assume if in three days my arms feel the way they do it is a good sign that by the end of the summer my awesomeness will return and my blue jeans will be brand spanking new.
