I went home this past weekend and it was amazing. I didn't realize how much good it did me until I got back on the island this afternoon. Basically during the summer the island dries out completely and is totally brown. And usually that's all I notice about it. It's hard to see the green disappear so much so that I can't wait till the heavy rains come back. But when I got home today I took special note of the green spots of camp. There are pretty trees, nice bushes, and some grass here and there. Very nice.
We've also got a new crop of staff in. Interesting because they're a very different group than the last folks. Especially the group of kids that are living in the cabin that is right next to my house. Last half I had a quiet group that was in bed on time and didn't make much noise. As of right now, the kids that are in there this half are running around making lots of general mischief. Much different and not for the better if you ask me. John tried to put kids in there that wouldn't be a problem but I don't think he did it right. Bummer.
Looking forward to getting through with the summer. It's weird because I feel like after this summer the time till I leave will go by so quickly. Before you know it I will be leaving the island and on to my next phase in life. Wherever that might take me at the moment I have no idea. But we'll see how it all works out. I'm willing to see how the chips fall, at least in the next couple of months. Always interesting to watch.
