Less than Two Months

So as you can probably see in the title, I leave Wisconsin in less than two months. It is actually exactly 56 days until I depart my life here and face Utah head on! I am a little excited... just a little. My roommates and I have been talking much more lately as far as what each of us are bringing and all that jazz. We are going to be a very musical room because I have one roommate studying band, another who loves to sing and then me with orchestra. I hope we have music playing constantly. Two of the girls we had in our room initially have switched rooms so now we are done to only 4. Three of us are from out of state but we're not sure if more girls are coming into our room.

Week two is done at camp and it was a rough week. All of the program staff sat down and we felt things were going too well. We knew something would happen. And stuff happened this week. We had a few discipline issues with campers and staff. I discovered that confronting staff is really hard. It is the most difficult part of my job, bottom line. But, there are moments that I love camp. One moment in particular these past few weeks was through our progression program. Campers progress through activities as they age. When a camper is six, they can only go in a row boat. When they turn eight, they can go in a canoe for the first time. I was able to see a few campers canoe for the first time. It is awesome. It feels like seeing a baby take their first step. I love those moments at camp.

A friend and I took a road trip around Wausau one night this past week and we found a huge gorilla thing. I hope you like the picture.
