Staff- counselor

Yesterday, when I came home from a retreat in Lake Tahoe, I was prepared to write an amazing blog. Because I didn't write it right away, this blog will be confusing and sad instead of amazing. I experienced another day with the people I'll be working with all summer today. And guess what ... I totally feel like an outsider. Don't get me wrong people are making an effort, a great one in fact. (Except for this one guy who needs to remind me that I have an accent every time I say any word with a short a sound in it as though I had no clue I am from WI) However, I haven't gone to Twin Lakes Church or worked at camp or roomed with any of them. Therefore, I am lacking any foundation on which to build relationships. Basically, I'm behind, they all at least knew at least one other person in the group before the retreat. I'm sure it will get better once a routine is set, and I get to know everyone a bit better. Until then, I'll be lost on the inside jokes, the Santa Cruzian culture, and the locations of anything.

FYI: we get "named" for camp: I was named 'Fargo' - I won't lie I am okay with it, but find it ironic since I am hardly familiar with ND at all.

tomorrow or sometime I'll write the amazing blog!
