10:39 pm - Camp
|
So I finally started working last Friday. I am staying in the main house and not a cabin at camp, for which I am greatful. Thus far I have meet most of the people how will be working at the camp for the summer. They have come from all over the world. There are people from Georgia (the country), Poland, China, other parts of Asia, South Africa, Puerto Rico, America of course, it is a very diverse group of people. I am looking forward to getting to know each one of them.
Besides getting to know the workers, my main task at work right now is creating a bible study curriculm for campers age 7-16. Which is turning out to be a big project. There are 5 class sessions a day four times a week for five weeks. Plus the sixth week is an adventure week so I have to plan something special for that week. I have decided that each week will have an over all theme and then the sixth week will combined all that the kids learned for the five weeks. The only problem with that decision is each week we have different campers only a few stay for the entire camp. The next thinh I have to do is get priest from around here to come to do the Eucharist and perhaps stay for a day or two and help with bible study. This task I think will be more daunting than the first. My main goal is make sure the first week is taken care of an the worry about finding priest for the rest of the summer. After I set that up I have to plan the daily services for the camp, which includes two Eucharist for the week, morning prayer and sometime evening prayer, and a goodbye service every saturday. Finally, my main job will be being a chaplain for the campers and staff, giving them a space where they can talk about what is going on in their world. I stand to learn and grow a lot from this experience so I won't complain too much when I'm stressing out.
The one thing that I know is going to be a pain is my internet access. First they only have dial-up and two it is only on two computers. Sad Sad Sad. But I can always drive home on the weekends and catch up on internet stuff.
Well that's all I have for now. Hope everyones doing okay.
current mood:  calm

10:33 pm - Pounding the pavement
|
Oh how my feet hurt. Today I woke up at 7am when my dog decided sniff me just to make sure I was breathing. Luckly I feel back asleep, however at 7:30am my friend called me hoping to get my voice message but I answered. Of course I don't know what she said or what I said in that conversation. Then at 8:30am I had to drive my friend to work because she slept over after driving with me on Friday. When came back from dropping her home my mom sent me out for coffee and bagels. Then my dad and I went to Costco which I now think is evil because of over crowding in the parking lot, in the store, and on lines, most of all I think its evil cause a lot of the items are overpriced. Finally when I returned home around 3pm I took a showered and headout to Manhattan, where my friend and I pounded the pavement for 6 hours looking for a bag and a father's day gift. My feet hurt from running around and I'm tired, but it was great being back in Manhattan.

2:04 pm - Lazy Moments
|
I'm in my lazy phase. I really don't want to move but if I don't start doing something, I will go crazy. I sucks that all my friends are working and I'm just lying around. Though I am catching up on all the new music videos on MTV2, MTV Hits, BET and some other music station. Though right now I'm enjoying all the VH1 countdowns and other stupid shows they do such as "The Hottest Make-out Moments." I also am watching Xena and A Different World on the Oxygen or Oh! channel. What excitement, though I really should enjoy my time, because I will soon be working at camp.

...since I last posted six months ago. I'm back home for the summer which is turning out to be interesting. I am happy to be home but I do miss Chicago a little bit. I hope to keep my journal upto date as much as I can, but it will be a bust summer. This is a short journal entry I know but I am kind of tired.

12:48 am - IKEA
|
I love love love IKEA. In LI I go to IKEA to calm my nerves. In IL I go to IKEA to shop shop shop. I had such a great time in IKEA once we found it. Jenni and I got a little lost because I did not really get direction on how to exactly get there. But when we did we let loose. I brought a wall unit, bookshelf, candles, red and white wine glasses,hangers... I think I would have brought the whole store if I had more money. The only sucky part was figuring out how to place all these items in the car. Since Jenni brought a new bed frame and a cd shelf. Basically it took us about an hour or more to get everything situated in the car and on top if the car. I call it girl power.
So we left for IKEA around 2 and we got back to Seabury around 8 something. But the time did not stop us from beginning to set up our rooms. I think when Jenni buts up her bed its going t be really cool. I have put up my wall unit thanks to Dave, so my common area is coming along. I began to put my bookshelf together but I guess people wanted to sleep and the hammering at like 12am is I guess for some bothering so I stopped. I really wanted to clean my room and put my new bookshelf in my room but I guess there is always tomorrow.
I have to finish cleaning by the end of Saturday because my new roommate is moving in Sunday and I don't want to be in her way. I also need to be done so I can figure out what else I need to get for my room. I think that will be a Target run.
Well I need to do some work before I finally hit the bed. Lots and Lots of things to get done this weekend and this week so if your listening please pray that I will end next week with my sanity still in-tack.
current mood:  ecstatic

12:41 am - Something I forgot to say
|
|
Last Sunday the preacher spoke about the new year coming and remembering all those who left us this year and even though it was 28th to pray for those who still would not see 2004. That really got to me, even more when I learned of the death of one of my parishners on Wed. I guess he was right. Anyway I would like to take time to remember all those who went on to a greater battle, and despite how I feel about war, I thank all the men and women who served their country and passed on, you will always be remembered by those who loved you.

12:34 am - Hey

Remember it is not only 2004 but it is also a leap year. So to all those born on the 29th of Feb. Celebrate hard remember you have to wait till 2008 to celebrate it again.
Well on another note I am leaving to return to Chicago. I am sad to leave NY because its my home and I don't just mean my parents house. NY is my home no matter where I stay in NY. I love this state and I'm going to miss it once again. I will not be back to NY until June. So by for now, and hello to Chicago again. I still can't believe this time next year I will be two terms away from graduation.

12:44 am - Awe the City
|
Today was good, Cecily picked me up from my house, we first went the the bishop's office. I had to pick up my check from the bishop, then Cecily and I headed into the city. The drive in to the city was good, Cecily as usaul gave me great advise. Once in the city we headed to Cecily's office where I spent most of my morning conversating with Cecily. Cecily works in Harlem which is uptown, so when I left her office I headed downtown to have lunch with a friend. I was good to be in the city and I miss it greatly when I'm in Chicago. What I like most is that there are so many ways to get into the city ranging from free transportation to the must expensive. When leaving the city today, I took the least expensive route home, the subway. I took the subway from downtown to Queens, then took the bus to my local stop, then finally I walked home the same way I walked home to and from highschool. The only problem about today was finding the right bus stop once I got out of the subway. I always have problems finding that bus stop no matter how many times I take that train. What really annoyed me was the fact that I feel asleep on the train and missed the stop that I wanted to get off because I could walk to the bus terminal instead of walking around in search of the bus stop. Overall I had a good day. I brought six dollors in instant scratch off games and only won two dollars back. Tomorrow I pray I have better luck, because I'm going to a cascino. I am driving my parents to see a play at one of the casino's, she got two free tickets to see the Nutcraker from playing the slot machine do much. I hate the Nutcraker, mainly because I've seen it so many times and time after time it still makes no sense. Any while they are watching the play I will be playing the wheel of fortune 25 cent machine. I pray I win something, at least to buy so good christmas gifts. Oh ya that's right I said christmas gifts, I don't shop until the day before christmas when nothing is left to buy, then I can find the perfect gift whatever is left in the store. Well I need to get some sleep.
current mood:  good

So I left chicago last thursday on the train. I got home the friday night around 10pm. I've been sleeping on my couch and in my comfy bed for about a week. Today was the first day i actually did something more then go see my bishop. I did not realize how tired i was from all the school work this term. I'm really nervous about next term i power house of thought and papers. Anyway it is so good to be back in ny, i really missed this place. Well i have to go to sleep now since i have to wake up early tomorrow my mentor cecily is picking me up and driving me to the city. I plan to spend the day in the city just walking around, maybe shop or something like that.

10:28 pm - Still No Paper
|
Man this systematic paper is dragging along. I've tried to complete it now for two days, but all I have is two pragraphs. Plus all this week I've been extremly tired I think either from not having much activity or from low iron.
But on a happier note kittyslikemilk is back so I'm not alone anymore. Tomorrow I will pick up her roommate and my roommate will be back on Sunday, then the third floor will be complete again. Yeah Alias party.
Okay so I'm going to try to work some more on my paper, maybe I will bangout another paragraph.
Oh by the way I had a wonderful thanksgiving, though the Turkey was still bleeding when it came out of the oven, good thing I don't like turkey that much.
