Camp is by far amazing. I've missed working with kids so much! As for why I'm actually writing, I tell you - 4th of July break, silly. This place gives me a week off for the fourth, so I'm back on the farm for a few days; I'll head up to Shrine Mont on Tuesday for a bit o' blue grass, then Wednesday I'll be spending time with My Sweet Meagan and Catherine.

I'm sure not a single one of you is wondering how this new camp is comparing to SM, but I'll tell you anyway. I can easily tell how the kids, and counselors, who have been going there since there were young can find God so easily there ... so far it's a little harder for me to find Him there. At SM we have the campers prepare worship for each day (by cabins), we have Chaplain's Time for an hour every day, and every Sunday we have All Camp Worship where every camp on the mountain will gather at The Shrine (which is an ordained Cathedral) - and every day, at random, SM campers will begin singing camp songs, these are all mostly God related songs.

Grier has Bible Study once each day, for about an hour, and that's as far as the Religious side of camp goes. I don't feel His presence there, not even in their Chapel. But honestly, I'm just happy to be working at a camp. Seriously, if you can tell me a job that is more rewarding ... I'll beat you with a stick, you filthy liar! In one week alone, I've gotten to be the Tooth Fairy, help three girls (or more) overcome homesickness, gained enough scrapes and bruises to look like I went down a mountain in a barrel, go three days without a shower ... and not have anyone notice I smelled bad (deodorant is your best friend in those cases), do things counselors at this camp had never done before, and -in three and a half weeks- make friends with thirty or so people who I know will be friends until I die.

I've been away from Grier for no more than twenty eight hours, and I'm already a little bit camp-sick.

1. I'm so proud of you; you've come so far - and in just three months. I love you.
2. All those quirky little things you do - they make me laugh.
3. You scare me, and for some sad reason that's all I need to think you don't care.
4. You. You make me want to vomit because of what we did. You've hurt me more than words can express, how could I have been so blind of course you were using me that whole time. It sickens me to think that was love... Besides, you're the last person I would have expected to use me - and believe me when I say; I know what it's like to be used.
   
5. Sometimes I think you really don't like me (as a friend).
6. I want to be just like you when I grow up - with some of my own tricks added in.
7. I wish I had your talents.
8. There are times when I really think you want me dead. I love you unconditionally, and yet, you still spit in my face for slipping up a little bit. Or, at least that's the way it seems.
9. Damnit, you can apply yourself so much more! Stop being such an arrogant jackass.
10. I'm worried that if you get to know me better you'll greatly dislike me.

My theory has been proven, or at least put down to two parts. Either everyone in the world cannot stand me for some reason or another, or I’m just so annoying that no one is capable of caring.
