I don't know if I've explained this yet, but my internship is specifically set to be for ten weeks. Meaning, I'm paid for ten weeks. Well I couldn't wait to start my new "big girl job" at the beginning of the summer so I started as soon as I got home from school. That left me with a few weeks that I would be able to take off to do family vacation and anything else I wanted! Maybe visit friends in cool places with their internships? Or just take a break from my job?
Well all of the sudden, my boss realized that I had worked 7 weeks and had to work 3 specific weeks later on in the summer. 7+3=10 so no problem, right? Wrong. I had a week in between all of those weeks so the decision was whether to work for free or stay home bored all week (neither of which helped me to make money to save up for school). So... I decided to work at Camp All American (the camp that Perimeter hosts every summer).
Now, I've worked at that camp for the past two summers and thankfully they allowed me to come in for just a week this summer.
It was so much fun to see all of my old counselor friends and campers! They also placed me in Ozone which is the middle school part of camp. It was great since I've been used to hanging out with middle school aged students all summer! A very natural transition.
Since it's a Christian camp, we have a Bible time scheduled into every day. For some reason, this always makes me nervous, and I was especially nervous the first day. I didn't get the material early enough to be able to prepare and since we all know that I'm a planner, that threw me off. I found myself completely having to lean on the Lord for every word that came out of my mouth which was both scary and comforting at the same time. I found myself saying things that I never would have thought of to say on my own, and every day the girls were becoming more engaged and asking more questions.
I was also very thankful though that it was the week of the 4th of July and I got a day off. Camp is completely exhausting and drains every ounce of energy from you. I found myself going to sleep around 7 each night when I got home!
The 4th was a great break to spend with family! And I'll leave you with a shot of the king of selfies, my nephew, Christopher.
How cute is this kid?!
