Scared

So today was a very very very long day. It was non-stop going going going. Getting us ready for camp I guess. But even then we have some break!

During the morning we had our medical break out groups. During Emos session, she told a story of a video from her lifeguarding days. It was a video of a group of people in a pool surrounded by lifeguards all on high chairs. It was the end of a rotation of some short, and all patrons were asked to get out. As they were leaving, the guards saw a dead child on the bottom of the pool. Being a lifeguard, this scares the living day lights out of me! Being around water is the scariest part of my job here at HH.

Emo said a great line during this session, “I am always a little scared going to work every day. The day I am not scared is the day that I quit, because that will be the day that I make a life – threatening mistake.” Being here at HH, I think that we all should be a little scared of our jobs every day. Doesn’t have to be a lot, but just enough to keep us on our toes. It keeps us alert and tentative to our children here!

Another thing that we did today that really stuck with me is the emergency calls. My group had the one that if a few counselors were in a car accident the night before session started and alcohol was involved.  My group had talked and talked and talked about what to do. We had to act is out, which went fine. But at the end of the exercise, I wandered. What would I do if this really happened? I don’t know if I would be able to work as well with my children. I love every person here at HH. I don’t care if I may not like them. But I still love them and would do anything for any of them! That is what this HH family is about!

We also had our “Cabin Night” with the Chipmunk cabin. It went really well. As I was just typing this, an ant just crawled on my bed…ughh! Thank you Bed Bug Guy!! We, Bobcats, did a Toy Story theme scavenger hunt where they had to find Woody and Buzz and save them from Emperor Zurge. And they did a Dinner/Fancy/Auction/Something Event. It was a lot of fun!

I finally got off campus tonight and went to Lake George with a bunch of people. It was so nice and I forgot how nice it is when you have been on campus for a long time. We had a really good time just hanging out and talking about all different kinds of stuff. We also got to have some fun down at the beach area! ;-P

Today was just a stressful, tiring day I guess. And I took out from it that; I need to get ready for these days ahead. They will be long, and I will get tired! So get ready Summer ’10…here I come!
