Vampire Mosquito
I think I got bitten by a vampire mosquito. No joke. The right side of my neck has a small, extremely itchy bump and it's been there for over a week. I might just turn into a mosquito tonight myself and go and find someone to bite. That's how the whole vampire thing works, right? I get bitten and then am eternally doomed to do the same to others. Maybe that's werewolves. Either way my neck itches and it's annoying.
I've had the entire week off and I'm currently having incredibly mixed feelings about going back to work come tomorrow afternoon. This week has been pretty good. I went and volunteered at the camp I worked at for the past three summers and got to hang out and be a fairly helpful extra set of hands for the first half of the week. It was great getting to see everyone, and I was there when quite a few campers I knew were around too so that was especially nice. Then some of that camp staff came to Cincy and we went to the rainy Red's game this afternoon.
Other than that the week has been spent chillin', sleepin', and getting schedules ready for the next group of kids that come my way. I also got to hang out with some friends from high school, ended up having a DTR conversation with a friend and spent entirely too much time on the internets.
The kids I get Sunday will be staying for two weeks and we're going whitewater rafting over the weekend. It should be a good time. Kind of bummed about the working weekend, but since I'm getting paid to whitewater raft I think I'll take it. I have plenty of weekends ahead of me. The other change is that I'm going to have two co-counselors instead of just one with me which should be interesting but a nice change of pace.
OH, and I had an incredibly promising interview on Wednesday evening and got told on Thursday morning by my eye doctor that my vision has actually IMPROVED over the past year. The past week has been full of things and I'm pretty excited to see where the next few weeks takes me (besides whitewater rafting that is).

Staff training 7.0
Halfway through staff training for the summer and where am I?
At home!!
Oh the joys of being only a half hour away and having such a chill training schedule.
I think it's shaping up to be a pretty great summer.
I'll keep you all as posted as I can.
But that's it for now.

Still Alive!
Hey there! Didn't realize I'd been gone so long. Hopw you all didn't miss me too much ;)
I've been busy the last week and a half or so job hunting/applying. I'm trying to find something for when camp ends. it's been going fairly well actually, I've already heard back from a bunch of people and have a phone interview this afternoon.
Of course everything I'm applying for is entry-level so I'm going to have to get really good at keeping an incredibly close eye on my finances for the next few years, but that shouldn't be too huge an issue. It's not like I'm a shop-a-holic or anything.
The search also could become much more narrow by the beginning of next week. I went apartment hunting yesterday with my best friend and we put a hold on a place until next Tuesday. So I have less than a week to decide if I want to commit to staying in this general area for at least a year or if I want to set off on my own right away. Or if I want to stay in my parents house.
So it's been going well, but there have been more important things vying for my attention than blogging. But that, anyway, is what's up with me!

And God said let there be...
... understanding.
I had a GREAT weekend both visiting with people and being tapped on the shoulder by God. Many things were crammed into three days including, rummage sales, dinner dates, concerts, CPR training, church going and movie watching. I saw people from New Lex, Athens, Logan and even IWU (go figure). So I'm feeling both incredibly blessed in that I have that many people to visit as well as excited that God not only spoke but that I heard it as well.
In an attempt to not sound too preach-y or whatever I'm going to just say again that it was great. If you want details just get in touch.
Also thanks to Joel for being willing to talk Friday and to Mary Jo for a wonderful church service on Sunday.
