I just got off my first shift as a night guard and I have to say that I'm not really tired. I only slept about 5 hours maybe but I'm doing pretty good considering. I'm in the Junior Villa with the 8-10 year olds who are too cute for words. I can sleep at night unless I'm woken up which I was but otherwise I watched Marley and Me which made me cry for about 20 minutes and was therefore tired enough to fall asleep in a strange place without freaking out.
Not sleeping is a theme here at ISCM....you always plan on going to bed early but you never do and then you can never catch up on your sleep until you leave. I could complain about it, and I do, but I shouldn't because in reality I have the best and easiest job ever and couldn't be happier with where I am.
Friday was our overnight hike which was pretty eventful weather wise...it hailed....then it rained....then the sun shone and then it was overcast....all in a few short hours! That's Switzerland!! My calves are still tight from that hike but luckily I haven't gotten a calf cramp WOO!! Friday night was the staff party, also known as the coming out party since there are only a few occasions when the staff all dress up and its a rare sight to not see someone in sweats and a ponytail. It was a disasterous night that's for sure...there's a limit to the drinks you can have which was 3, I had about 6 not to mention my pre drinking. Then we went to a bar called Harry's and got a drink and then did a Jagger....thennnnn my friend Jon made me do 2 jaggerbombs and then we had these rum shaker things oh dear. I got to bed at around 4am and then had to be up for breaky at 7:45 UGH myself and 98% of the staff were incredibly hungover all saturday.
Yesterday was arrival day for the campers and its always the most relaxing day and most exciting! There were 200 or so campers arriving by car with their parents so the road to camp was packed....arrival day is always the best day to sit out front and watch the Porche's, Aston Martin's, Mercedes and BMW's roll in....if you like cars, there's no where else to be! I spent the day laying by the pool and working on my tan :) it's a very important task for the summer, on my to do list!
That's about it for now...its the official first day of camp activities but while everyones getting started I'll be attempting to sleep for a few hours so that I don't die tonight. It's all about regulating my hours, if it's even possible!
Countdown to Canada Day: 2 days!!!
Chat soon friends
