So this year will be my first ever time travelling alone and I could not be more excited for this year. I’m going to be a camp counselor at a summer camp in Maine, America. I head off in June and will spend 4-5 days in America alone, but I mean you’ve heard the saying right, you’re never truly alone when your travelling. Who knows if I will make friends before camp though, sometimes I can be quite shy and other times I can be so outgoing. It honestly depends on my mood but if it’s forced i’ll shut down and be so awkward. I reckon during orientation week while playing the ice breaker games i’ll be so awkward but ultimately I know I will make friends how could I not. I’ll make the best friends.
Okay, so everything I have read about what to expect tells me that it’s going to be the hardest job you’ll ever work. Trust me I know it’s going to be hard. In the nine weeks I’m working (which is 24hours a day) I will only have 6 days off. I’m so prepared to work but I am scared how my body is going to react. My doctors have given me the all-clear and they obviously know best. They wouldn’t let me do this if they didn’t think I could do it. I’ll be taking my medication and smelling the freshest air, and of course, will have travel insurance. I guess I shouldn’t be worrying.
One of my goals for my time away is to become stronger again. I want to use the fitness centre and get back into gymnastics. I used to be a competitive gymnast when I was younger and man do I miss gymnastics. I coach gymnastics which is a way for me to stay in the sport that I love. So hopefully while I’m teaching over there I can demonstrate some stuff and when I have time off I can actually do a bit of training. Another of my goals is too just be off my phone. Yes, I’m considered the younger generation, but I’m not so young that I grew up with heaps of phones and ipads. I do know a time before I was always attached to my phone. My weekly screen usage report this week is already at 27hours and I still have tomorrow to count. That’s crazy over one whole day!!! What the hell have I done on my phone in those 27hours! I need to get off my phone and I’m so excited that I won’t be allowed to use my phone every day.
Overall I could not be more excited to go have my first summer as a camp counselor. I’ll enjoy it all, the hard work, the kids ill be mentoring/living with, to get back into fitness and gymnastics and oh my gosh the food! What’s there to not like about this job!
