What will your choice be?

We had our Program Coordinator come and visit everyone on our site today and the one big piece of information that I got from her was: you can pick what you get to be that day. You can either be an Eeyore or a Tigger. An Eeyore is negative and sucks the energy out of the group, and the Tigger just adds and builds to everyone. I try so hard to be a Tigger, but I think that that is really hard sometimes. I guess this summer will be a challenge for me because I will have to step it up and be that camp counselor is a Tigger and not an Eeyore. I feel like being an Eeyore is a big fallback for me, or I use sarcasm so that I can put people at a distance and not be taken too seriously. Goal for this summer: drop the tude dude and just have fun doing my job and maybe be genuine for a change instead of afraid of failure. I might not be as peppy as Tigger, but I can be positive, and that's just as important i think.

So we are just setting up our campsite. I will give you before and after pictures later. I have to program two different weeks: Alice and Wonderland and an International Theme. If you all have any ideas for fun activities please let me know!

Hmmmmm what else to tell you...nothing really at the moment, just thought that I would check in. Probably just going to discover Tokyo this weekend, which will be an interesting experience. you wouldn't believe the architecture. we start camp on Monday: Underwater theme. Nothing but fun there. We also get to swim with the kids everyday which will be super fun I think.

Fun Fact about Tokyo #2: Everyone rides the subway, but no one talks, and under no circumstances are you to talk on your phone on the subway. That is out of the question. Man is Japan cool!

  1. Love the quiet on the subway. I would love that; plus you don't have to listen to annoying cell phone conversations. Adventure ho! ljb

  2. I love the Eeyore and Tigger analogy. Also, I greatly admire you for going there, not being able to understand the language and all. That is so impressive!

  3. Umm, why not break out of the box and be piglet instead? Just saying, it could be fun to be adorable and pink...
