Week 2 Blog
So after an amazing first week in the States, week 2 was when the hard work started! The kids were arriving on Tuesday!
On Monday I did my first Radio show with the other Specialist, Max! Was good and I was quite nervous, but I'm here to do a job, so I think I did well! We were assigned the bunks and units - I was In unit Galil (12-13) and Bunk Boys 1.
As the kids arrived on Tuesday, we had to be on the air playing songs, I managed to play Umbrella 3 times which was fun, everyone is loving it. I went to my bunk and met my campers, seemed like a good bunch of kids! We had a few games of GaGa and I won one of them! I wrote a letter to Kirby.
It's been a busy week, I've been so tired waking up so early to do the radio - 7am every day! Some kids are absolute terrors to teach, but it is a challenge! The food has been pretty shite! Went fishing with Jamie and Luke on Friday. Was fun - I caught 1 fish and had my hook in a huge one - got away though!
Just got back from Allentown where I went for a night with Ian and Jamie. On the way to the bus station, we were listening to Radio 1 in the car Via Sirus radio. It's satellite radio - really cool! But weird to listen to English radio over in the USA! When we got to Allentown, we got a cab to Airport Road and stayed in a Red Roof Inn, dead cheap and pretty nice, went for a meal and to the cinema.
We ate in a restaurant called Red Robin - I liked it as it was for My Dad and The Mighty Addicks! LOL! Had a starter of chicken wings which were big enough to be a main meal and then a Bacon Cheeseburger. Was so nice and ridiculously cheap! We then decided to go to the Cinema to see Shrek The Third. Was a good movie and was funny to see Ian fall asleep in it! LOL.
Back to the hotel, watched a little bit of TV and was horrible to see on the news about England having attempted terrorist attacks with 2 car bombs in London and a Flaming Car crashing into Glasgow Airport! And then flooding around a lot of the country! What have I left behind?!
We came back this morning and Jesse (camp driver) picked us up after the bus, we went to a supermarket to grab a bite to eat and came back to camp.
So another exciting week, I am shattered though!
