When I wake up I am slightly apprehensive about the day. My basketry class was interesting to say the least and there are a LOT of incompletes which leads to a stressful friday. But it actually flows pretty well, most of the Scouts finished their baskets in their campsite so they just have to show it to me. I spend the morning finishing my unicorn neckerchief slide. Once upon a time it was an antelope but I decided it would be cooler to make a unicorn, sooooooo UNICORN! I plan to give it to my mother once it is all nice and painted. I was making a dragon for my dad, and it was actually REALLY good. I spent HOURS on it, before it disappeared from off the face of the planet which is a major bummer. Ill probably make another one, but its just disappointing you know?
After lunch is amazing. Last week was complete and utter chaos, today I am organized and it all goes swimmingly. I have House Rules, A list of people to go up against and a game register drawn up all before the Scouts get here. There is also a LOT less Scouts this week because Ferdinand didn’t announce at flags, though none of us are complaining. It is a lot more relaxed and we all have a lot of fun. This week we have Jasper, Uriah, Vincent and Adam* as the Elite Four and Ferdinand as the Pokemon Master (With the Unbeatable Bounce House Wilson). Once Campwide games is over we have open program again for makeups. but three Scouts come. THREE. So basically we muck around, we wrestle, some hand stand pushups are done (I just do handstands). At one point a Scout walked in, while Ferdinand and Adam are westling. Intensly. He backed out of the room, and then slowly came back in and asked if that is what we do in our freetime. To which we all paused, and then nodded, because yes, yes it is.
Harmony is leaving, which is really sad. I mean she is going to have so many fabulous adventures in Belgium Belize? Barcelona? I think it is Barcelona… Anyway, I am super excited for her. But I’m also going to miss her a bunch. She is the girl I connected most with this Summer. Not to say I’m not friends with the other girls in camp. But we just kind of clicked this Summer. We bonded over the stupid things that Scouts and Scoutmasters say to us, and the ridiculous things boys do to try and impress us or hit on us. Whenever we experience one of the unfortunately often “girl, giiiiiiiiirl, giiiiiiiiirl. Hey girl, hey heeeey (insert some stupid pickup line here)” we find each other and laugh about it and puzzle over the mess that is the teenage boys brainpan.
It is a full moon tonight and it is gorgeous. There have been a bunch of fires all around the state this week, and a couple pretty darn close to camp property, so the moon is red. It is also pretty big, not as big as the super moons we experienced this past year, but still pretty big. And reflected on the lake. It is so incredibly gorgeous. I wish that I had a better camera. As in an actual camera. Ferdinand has a cannon but it is dead. And I have been meaning to grab it and take it to one of the other guys in camp who has a good camera so I can charge it. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut I keep forgetting. So I don’t have it. So no super pretty pretty pretty pictures for me :\
