... I bring you a new update. Wow its been a long time. I almost forget how to use this. Thank you Dara for hacking into my site and letting everyone know I was still alive while I was at camp. Where to begin? I guess I'll start with a little bit about camp. It was overall a pretty good year at camp, for the most part. We had a few complications with the leadership and communication with certain individuals. Some of that was eventually resloved. We had a good staff this year, we all got along great! We had great teamwork, there were only a couple people that wanted to kill eachother by the 4th week. just kidding. Really though it was a good year as far as staff. I was working on maintanence as I had said before. I enjoyed it alot more than last year doing housekeeping and snack shop. To be honest though we didnt really do a whole lot of work. We didnt have any major projects as we did in past years. Most of my time was spent sitting on a lawn mower. That was pretty much all the "hard" work I did. But it was good to be back at camp. Seeing familer faces and meeting new people. It was good, I had a good summer. I even made it up to New York on one of the weekends to see Dara, which was very good. It was the first time I had taken that trip on my own. My little Ford Escort managed to survive the trip. Basically i turned a trip that was suppose to take about 6 hours into a trip that took 9. I finally pulled in to there driveway at about 2am. Needless to say I wont be making those same directional mistakes twice. I'll probably find some new ones though. It was an awesome weekend though, but it was a long time ago so i cant remember all the details. Like always time keeps going and camp came and went. It honestly seemed to go by really fast. There were days when it seemed like it was dragging but looking back I wonder where the summer went. The week right after camp Dara was here. I picked her up at her grandparents house. She was in the lancaster, manheim area for a week and two days. It was really great to see her after that long of time. We also went down to Assateuqe Island and spent a weekend there with her family. We had alot of good talks and also some bad ones. But in the end our relationship keeps getting stronger. Like always time with Dara goes way to fast and before I knew it, I was back into reality. My college classes were in full gear and I was back to work at O.D. For those of you who dont know I am taking two college classes this semester. Im taking Biblical Hermenutics at LBC and Effective speeking at HACC. I really enjoy the Bib. Herm. class. Its ALOT of work, but im learning alot about studying and interpreting the bible. (i'll probably be writing more about this later) My speech class, however, is another story. I really like the professor but I am not a fan of public speaking. Drama is a different story, because that is all memorized lines that I did not have to write. When I have to write my own speeches and present them for a grade I get freaked out. Apparently im doing a pretty good job though. As far as work goes, I have gotten into the swing of things, however it is really testing my paitence. Some of the people that work back in grocery jut make me want to........Grrrhha..thhiaaaaa..agrivation...rahrahrah bleehh...mumble mumble. Let me put it this way, it is very agrivating. The talking cow at the end of aisle two doesnt help the situation either. Not kidding I have the whole thing memorized. Just ask Dara she has heard me recite it. I am in the process of appyling for colleges. I have already applied for Appalachian Bible College. I might be applying for Baptist Bible College. They both have camping minors so we shall see what happens. If you would like to pray for me, here is a list of things you could pray for: 1) Patience at work with co-workers and the cow. 2) Dilegence(sp?) in College classes to get things in on time and not procrastinate. 3) Wisdom to know what Gods will is for my life. 4) Patience to wait to know what Gods will is for my life. 5) Unspoken Request. 6) Wisdom in making decisions that will greatly affect my life in the future. 7) and Peace to know that God is in control of every aspect of my life. Thats all I can think of at the moment. Thank you for your prayers. Well its time to go call Dara. acctually past time... hmm.. Until next time. |
