Title: Summer Camp
Post by: Gaz on May 23, 2014, 10:25:22 PM
A heads up for all: I'm going to be away working at a Girl Scout summer camp June 1st through August 3rd. There will be internet in the staff house, but I don't know how often I'll have access to it.

I know I'll have Saturdays off starting June 14th. I get an hour break every day, and one night off during the week while the kids are there.

Seemed like a more fun way to earn some cash than retail.

Cosplaying would be fun. I'll have to look into ideas I could toss together super quick.

:3 you may or may not wish to pre-register. (holy crap, so much more expensive than i remember.)

if you're definitely in, let me know! unlike rennfest, i'm on the fence about this one, especially if i'm going alone. con-goers scare me! (unlike rennies, who apparently don't....? erm. logic.......?) anywhos, i'd be willing to drive. :)

That would be awesome. I think I might order Anna's coronation dress.

Well, I leave for camp in a couple hours. I'm nervous as hell, partly because I hate driving to new places. I'm always afraid I'll get lost or something.

All I wanted to do from ages 11 to 14 was work at a boy scout camp. Gaz you're going to have an awesome time!

I made it safely. Today is pretty relaxed. Tomorrow staff training begins.

I'm not sure if otakon will be workable for me after all. As much as I want to go.

Summer camp is great so far, and im sure its amazing experience.  But at the moment this job is costing me more than im earning it seems.

Granted fishing out nearly $200 for the vet didn't help. But I don't regret helping little Bruce for a second.

What I really need to do is not go out to eat so much. I've gone out to eat so much over the past month. On nights off when people at camp ask me I say yes. I need to stop that.

That's cool the camp is local enough to go out to eat instead of eating camp food.

Any camp I worked at, it was an hour to three into town.

I get paid again on the 15th. But I really need to save money for grad stuff. Parking and books and such.
