Blogging is a self-centered thing to do--- self-centered and out-dated. I'm pretty sure nobody gets cooler when they start a blog, they probably get less cool, actually.
I don't want to justify starting a blog, so I'm not going to. I don't want to explain what you should expect to read here, because I don't have a clue either. Perhaps though, it would suffice to say that I am far from my friends and family, and that perhaps when I wish to tell one person something, but can't because of communicative limitations, I will simply tell everyone who would read this blog... harmless.
I am staying at a summer camp. The actual camps do not start until the end of june, but in the mean time there are many guest groups here, such as churches and elementary schools. We are operating in a very scaled down state, while simultaneously trying to prepare the camp area to have 2000 kids (or something ridiculous like that) come through here this summer. My job, once the summer begins, will be to take kids out on mountain bike rides during two different scheduled activity blocks during the day. In the mean time though, I have my life schedule written on a piece of paper- one day I might work in the kitchen, another I might be on maintenance, raking the forest or washing a dirty cabin, some days a little of both, and some days something completely different.
I'm coming up on completing my first week here at camp. Today was my 5 day of work and tomorrow is my first day off. As of the day after tomorrow (monday) my schedule changes to put me on "Program" instead of the other random stuff, which (by definition) should have more to do with my position as Mountain Bike Leader. With the change in occupation comes new unknowns and new challenges, my primary concern is whether or not the staffing dept. is planning to put me back on maintenance after next week or to keep me on "Program" for the rest of the summer.
But that's all background information. It's only background information for the things I'm likely to say, which I would have said in this post except for that now I'm feeling restless, and I don't much feel like forcing myself to go on just to keep you from thinking that I lack determination or the capacity for abstract thought.
I'm going to have fun telling you about my daily life, I promise.

Good to hear from you. Hope you get to stay on the program rather than maintenance... Keep the updates coming :) Any chance of sneaking over to the lower mainland for a day at Whistler bike park this summer? AL.
