Feels like i'm workin', eight days a week!

Well, only seven really....

Howdy kiddies, long time no blog! Something like 2 weeks if i know my maths (and i think my C grade says that i do!)

So, the reason you're here. Either A. You already knew about this site and was wondering how i'm doing (thank you!) or B. you followed the link from the artichoke (camp's blog) and know who i am (and probably live with me too...). So, on with the stories.

The main thing i want you all to know, is that i'm having such a good time! Seriously, i love this place. I'm sure this is just a honeymoon period, and i'll get sick of this too, but when you work and live somewhere, and you dont mind working a seven day week, thats gotta say something right? I mean, i'm getting paid to play with kids! I've been teaching them how to build fires, what an ecosystem is and what makes a good bridge. I've been helping them stretch their comfort zones while we're 40 feet in the air, encouraging them to take another step on the climbing wall... I have to say, this is a really rewarding job. I mean, some of the reviews i got from kids and adults last week and over the weekend. "Hilarious", "cute guy, nice accent" "You Rock" etc. I honestly can't think of anywhere else i'd rather be and work right now. I know a lot of you back home dont understand why i'd want to come out here and work on a summer camp, but i ask you this.

Don't you get bored? Don't you wonder whats doing on outside our little social bubble?

Back home, on the weekends, you go out with the same people, to the same bars, drinking the same drinks... hell, sometimes even wearing the same clothes. I need more than that. I want to see the world. I've drunk beer in a little shack of a bar on the beach in spain, i've wandered through old french towns, I've sat on the edge of the Grand canyon and watched the sun rise, I've seen wild elephants in Thailand, I Stroked a live Tiger in malaysia. And more recently, i've made kids sing songs and laugh with me.

And i'm not done yet.

I'm gonna see the world. When i get old, i want people to look at me and say "he's been there, he's done it."

Went off on a tangent there huh? Well, the bottom line is, i'm happy here, and i'm having the time of my life!

I'll try to post soon guys!

keep it safe
