Yeah, its that time of year again. I'm off camping because its time for camp, well come saturday.
This time last week I was recovering from helping to put camp up, We have somewhere to cook, eat, wash and Sleep, indeed week 1 are probably using these facilities as I type, what with it being Week 1 and everything. Incidently I now have a small idea how much effort goes into making camp happen.
The campers remain in blissful ignorance of the whacked thumbs, rope burn, and cuts and bruises I seem to gained. Hitting yourself with a mallet of any kind hurts. Spare a thought for Joe who hit himself with a lumphammer.
At the start the field looked like this:
By the end it looked like this:
And soon it'll have 50 odd 9-13 yr olds running around it.
I'll be the one hiding under a GIANT hat. Well, maybe just a hat.
As for year abroad news, not much has changed since the last post, except I have reverted to my usual "I DON'T WANNA GO!" state.
Its all fine and well everyone telling me its amazing, I'll love it, it'll be a great experience, (the next person to do so is likely to get punched btw), currently, its terrifying, I miss my friends from Uni, it'll be even worse when I have to leave my family and friends here. Admittedly I get to take Mark, but to make him the first port of call for my every emotional wobble would be extremely unfair, particularly as my emotional wobbles are more akin to earthquakes than wobbles.
Living totally on my tod in a language in which I can just about communicate, should scare the pants off most people.
So yeah, feeling rather apprehensive at the moment. Hopefully, it'll die down a bit when I have somewhere to live. No doubt I will get round to liking it, but currently terrified is where I'm at.
The next update will be after camp.
so until I am next awake enough to blog!
