Yeah, so I've decided to make a camp blog-type thing this year (I'm calling it a "clog" wink just to make things more interesting. Unfortunately, I missed posting yesterday, so todaynight is a double-post.
--------------------------------------------------
Day 1
11:35 AM
Mood: slightly annoyed. Listening to: Vicious Delicious (Infected Mushroom)
So far, not so good. First off, there was this massive mix-up with Continental Airlines about whether or not I'm an unaccompanied minor. In Pittsburgh, they said that 14 was the cut-off age. In Newark, thay said 16 was the cut-off. WTF!? Oh yeah, my bug-repellant and sunscreen were confiscated at the security checkpoint because they were more than three ounces. So not only will I be bug-bitten when I return, I'll likely have sunburn. burning_eyes Not cool. w/e. As I write, I'm sitting in a very bumpy van driven by a foreign councelor named Daniel, who can't navigate worth s**t. While attempting to lead the bus to a "different sattelite parking lot" we ended up getting lost in some cowtown just outside the airport. I REALLY hope this isn't a portent of things to come. The ride, though, is a good lesson in patience. On the plus side, I don't see why so many people say bad stuff about New Jersey. It's pretty green, and the weather's pretty much like Pittsburgh's; inconsistent. We've just stopped in some random parking lot so Daniel can talk to the bus driver... AGAIN. Hopefully, we'll be back at the airport soon. So far, Daniel has only asked for directions once; from some random dude on the sidewalk. That's it for now, next update whenev.
12:01 PM
Kitsune's wedding! Didn't notice until abit ago.
12:16 PM
No longer raining, but we finally made it to the right parking lot, which turned out to be RIGHT NEXT ******** DOOR.
2:35 PM
Mood: relieved but slightly worried. Listening to: Abfahrt! (Verano)
Took ******** FOREVER, but finally on the road to camp. Met a guy named Brady while waiting. Kinda hit it off. Also Jewish, talked about Don't Mess With the Zohan. Played Fluxx (awesome card game, for those who don't know). Recieved reccomendation to watch "The Pwned Life". Recieved insults regarding choice of music/not knowing certain bands/celebrities. Apparently he only likes heavy metal, but w/e. To each his own. Scott, the van driver, erred and took the turnpike lane with the broken ticket machine, lol. Popular concensus has us (the van passengers) listening to some rap s**t on the radio, so I'm trying to listen to my iPod. Apparently, "Superfly" (a councelor) likes to hit the gas at the top of bumpy hills. Hope Scott doesn't. He worries me. Can't see the spedometer (sitting in the back) but it feels like we're on the ******** Autobahn! eek
6:01 PM
Arrived at camp... SOMEHOW. Missed several dead deer on the highway, and Scott has a thing for going too fast on country roads. eek Got a golf-cart ride to my bunk, B35. When I got there, no one was around, and all the beds were taken. Guess Session 0 hasn't cleared out yet.
6:30 PM... ish
Met my bunk. Consists of: Mat and Nick (councelors), Ryan, Aaron, Zach, Ben, and Jorge, a Spanish international camper. W00T! And me, but... In all, seem to be a cool group. Know Ryan from 2, maybe 3 years ago.
10:45 PM... ish
Mood: exhausted. Listening to: people arguing
Yeah. So... my bag was late in coming, since the van arrived way before the bus. Jorge came in late, too. Currently, the bunk's trying to decide whether or not to implement a rotating 1st shower, but the point is moot since B35 has infinite hot water. Evaluation of the bunk: Ryan's still crazy, Zach's still a pain in the a**, Aaron's a bit hotheaded, and Jorge's pretty quiet. Apparently, we have a resident mouse who "owns" a ledge in the bunk 0_o. Oh yeah, Ben either naturally has a falsetto voice or just enjoys talking like that. G'night.
