He slides.. and is safe! Then he heads around again!

summer blast was flipping amazing! i dont think i could have asked for much more. a few more people maybe, but even there everything worked out well. i was in a small room for the first time. i think i like the bigger rooms, cuz there were only 4 of us total in my room. that was fine, dont get me wrong, todd, hobie, mikey and i held down the fort nicely. the 3 of us were red warriors, and mikey was a green giant. a very non-confrontational group if i do say so. there were no super-late nights of mexican train or poker this year. actually there wasnt alot of time where i was in my room that i wasnt sleeping. that is mostly attributable to one of two things 1) activities of the day just totally wore me out, 2) i just didnt go to my room until i was really ready to go to bed. early to bed, early to rise though. i spent every morning outside upon eating breakfast (and sometimes before that even) and just walked around the lake, noting the serenity of the morning, and natural environment. i love taking walks in the morning. i took one this morning as a matter of fact. i love just sitting by the lake and watching the wildlife and boats and whatever else God decides to show me at a given time.

This year's games were alot of fun. i personally helped with the creation of human foosball. i really enjoyed that one, and the pull your neighbor into the trashcan game was sweet too. reason being; i won that one! red definitely dominated the day games, and lost it during the night games. this was a complete reversal from last year's innagural victory over the (mostly) hated white knights. this was the last year of sumer blast of its kind. very sadly, next year, unless we have some college-fresh interns, which will still be different,... i dont know. its really sad. i dont want to be the oldest ones at camp. its responsibilities, its.. its sad. but things happen like that.

i got my schedule for this next year. staci i will be excited to see how yours compares. i need to get mine fixed though. they didnt give me physics, which i guess isnt a huge deal, but i figure it can only help my transcript. oh transcripts, and entrance letters, and scholarships, and oh my goodness... i really dont want to deal with this at all! it's scary. i cant wait for soccer season this year. i am hoping we decide we want to play as a team. we will see how that works. i really want to play forward, but that wont be very likely. i am not what you would call a good finisher. i needed to get out and kick around a lot more this summer, and i just didnt get it done. oh well, i did play quite a bit at the beginning of the summer. im hoping mexico, if nothing else physically, will get me hydrated..? if wendy does her job. hmm...

i guess it is still surreal that we leave for MEXICO in 11 hours. i havent gotten that through my thick skull yet. it will be a major shock i can already tell. im all packed, and it isnt even 10 yet! i guess that may be all the accomplishing i get done tonight, unless i get lucky. i really look forward to the bonding that will occur over the next week and a half. the heat, albeit dry heat, which i will be able to handle alot easier then this gross humidity we are having here. we will see how much difference 20 degrees makes without the humidity. i just want to live in the carribean. that would be my dream. i guess a vaca (staci) there would suffice though. oh well. i need to get going. im either going to bed, or being pathetic, either way, im excited! have an awesome week everyone who is staying here, and those of us going to mexico, get some sleep and dont forget ne thing. good night.
