So it's official. I'm moving back to Minnesota in 22 days. For the rest of the summer. I'm finishing up my run here at the Dairy Bar as summer secretary next week when the semi-permanent secretary starts and then tying up some projects for a few weeks and then head back to the parents.
I'm going to be working at the Buffalo Bar and Grill again and babysitting Jaiden and Jaicie 1-2 times a week. Thru the beginning of August at least. The Minnesota state fair is calling me again so I'll be back there for hopefully prep week and the whole state fair.
Moving home is a little bittersweet. On one hand, thrilled to be back in Minnesota, close to my friends and everyone and it's cheaper (Mom buys the groceries!) but on the other hand, I like being on my own out here in Brookings.
Like I said last time though, it's destined to be a summer of epic proportions. I'm gonna make the most of the time I have off and spend as much with family and friends!

start of summer 2010
It's been almost a whole year since I last posted. At that time I was ending a summer at Timber Lake Camp in Shandaken, New York. It was a great summer, crazy and full of learning and excitement. They offered me a spot this summer but, I decided to stay a little closer to home. I'm working at the SDSU Dairy Bar, which is my job during the school year too. It's a great job for summer, I scoop Ice Cream, get to hang out with great coworkers, and get free ice cream!
This summer marks something epic. I'm going to be graduating in a year. This is my last summer as a child (more or less) who can make mistakes and stay out late and be naughty. Soon enough I will need to be a real grown up in the real grown up world. But until then I'm going to enjoy myself.
This summer is dedicated to friends, fun, watching sunsets and sunrises all in one night, staying out far too late, being far too loud, taking too many pictures and loving every minute.
It will be an adventure, hopefully the best adventure of my life so far. I'll keep you posted :)

Softball, V-day and The End!
Visiting day was mostly a success. The parents brought WAY to much food and we had seven sick campers and unfortunately 4 sick counselors. 6 cookie cakes for one buck is too much, let me tell you. The parents where crazy but great and it was fun to meet them. A few stuck out in the day due to different reasons both because they were cool and laid back, crazy and overly nice and way to over the top. I'm sure these kids got about 800 dollars worth of stuff each.
On thursday I got to take a softball team to a tourney at another camp. It was alot of fun and we even won! I met a few cool people from Timber Lake West and they are coming tomorrow to our huge softball tourney. It should be fun.
Finally nice today and I got to go swiming with the girls. They love the water and its fun to have happy kids!
Only 2 1/2 weeks left, I can't believe the summer has gone by so fast!

visiting day......
So It happened. I've been moved. I now work with Freshman bunk one. We are also currently experiencing World War Three.
None of our girls get along ever and all 7 of them want to go home tomorrow which is Visiting Day (let me get there later). I have 7 girls ages 6 thru 7. They are crazy little girls, cute and cuddley sometimes but other times they are just pure evil. The older ones pick on the little one and then on each other. I really have no idea what to do...
Visiting Day is tomorrow. I'm totally frightened. If my kids are nuts, imagine what the parents are going to be like. PLUS they bring so much food and presents for the kids, if only we were aloud to accept tips, I totally think that we deserve them.
oh man. bed time.

'Arry Potter :]
Another week going by.
On tuesday night I got to see HP 6 at the midnight premire. It was definately alot of fun and we were the only group in the crowd that had people with real British accents. We thought about dressing up in unconventional HP characters such as the Whomping Willow and Broomstick but it just never happened. The movie was good, I think that I may have to see it again. The best part was the British accents and discussing the movie afterwards! The next day was our day off and we enjoyed a relaxing day just hanging out at some falls and climbing on the rocks. It was good to get away from camp and just chill for the day. Plus the falls were sick. Too bad my camera is broken. :[
My girls have been gone since yesterday and I have been enjoying the solitude in the Lodge. Theres only about 6 of us left and we all slept very well last night.
I have about 4 weeks left here, which is something that is both a blessing and sad. I truely enjoy the people I've been meeting-they are from all over the World (London, South Africia, Ireland, Spain, Colombia and the US too). But some days I'm totally ready to be back in South Dakota and in my own room with my own stuff. I miss all my friends from home even though I won't be back for more than a day until class starts. I still have the state fair job and then I'll be back in B-town more permantently. Also-I found a third roommate and now our place is full!
I'm changing jobs and bunks again soon (sometime after saturday). I can't say I'm very happy about it but what can I say, I'm a nice person and I'll move where they put me. I'm pretty sure I'll be with the youngest group so I'm excited about that, they are cute and they all still love us unconditionally, they want someone to be their mom. And you all know how I love kids!
I'm also coaching a softball tourney on the 30th. I'm a little nervous but I think that it will be a good experience. It's up to 8th grade girls at Timber Lake West which is the sister camp of mine. It's the first chance I've had to coach softball at all here and I've very excited.
More soon-off to work on little mermaid costumes.

brief
oh my. I just got hipmotized. It was crazy crazy. I have no idea what happened but apparently I danced like crazy, laughed, cried, and like hooked up with a boy. Who knows. It was an experience, aparently. I'll have to check the videos out. hmmm.
Other than that, camp has been going well. I'm on my 4th job. I'm now directing/co-directing the play and designing costumes. It's so much fun.
short and sweet, but fun fun.

Woodstock
Today was my first day off. Me and three of the art shack girls that I work with decided to spend our day there. We shopped and ate awesome Chinese at a place called Wok n Roll. How cute right? We also got to lay out for a few hours by the river-the only thing missing was an acoustic guitar.
Woodstock was everything I had imagined. Old bearded men with guitars, Crazy ladies in floral skirts and tons of tie dye, Beatles and Bob Dylan posters, and lots of people enjoying the farmers market.
I think I'm in love, I want to spend every day I have off there just soaking up the culture, It was so great. I think everyone should go. Also today we found out the Dave Mathews band is playing on the field where Woodstock the concert was held later this summer. It's pretty much a must do and it's definitely on the agenda!
I'm going to bed early tonight and am refreshed and ready to take on another week of loud children, annoying children and my crazy teen girls (who actually seem to like me!)
I've been re posted in the art shack and am now just a floater and no LONGER IN CHARGE OF ROCKETS. way too exciting! I really love it in there and now get to do tons of fun stuff like make jewelery.
More updates when more fun things happen. :)
