Biology

It's all been very exciting in the last week or two! I got in contact with the other girl going to CSB, Elise! She's as excited as me, maybe even more, which I didn't think was possible! CSB has a facebook group, which I've joined, and now I'm facebook friends with something like 6 other CSB staff :) At least 3 of them have been there for like 5 years or something, and one of them was a camper before she became staff ! Must be worth going to I guess!!! I'm still sooooooo excited, I didn't think that was possible haha especially after Tuesday... finally got round to paying my 3rd deposit and medical insurance, $607. My bank account's not looking so happy anymore, poor thing. The 2nd deposit thing still hasn't come up on my CAD (code for Camp America Direct, http://mycampamerica.com/). I think someone never got taught how to count...
Anyway... after the minor down buzz of a sad bank account, I got an email from Dale at Travelcafe with an amazing looking quote for flights!!!! Highlight of my week I think! Super duper excited to see that I'm going through LAX (instantly thought of Miley haha) to BWI. Now, where on earth is BWI, you ask. Baltimore, Washington D.C.. Pretty much AWESOME! I think I'm gonna have to sing that song when I get off the plane haha "Good morning Baltimore.... ba da ba daaaaa I don't know anymore of the words...." If only I could sing, then it'd actually be entertaining haha.
Theres so many exciting things that come with knowing where and when you're flying, I have a countdown on my phone :) 188 days 21 hours 13 minutes until I leave Wellington! Well, maybe the minutes aren't exact, but I do really hope that the plane doesn't get delayed or anything, that would be lame and stressful.
Why is this thing called Biology? Good question. It's exam time at the moment, and today I had Bio. Oh, the joys. I was feeling well underprepared, not that you care, because I had to teach myself the whole subject because I go to a silly school. Anyway, at 1:59 pm and 30 seconds we were allowed to begin the exam. Opened the first page and what is there, but a map of America! So of course me being me, draws a cool line from L.A to Baltimore, with a plane and everything. It was the most exciting exam I've ever sat. And the rest of the exam went well, thanks for asking :)

200 days to go!

So it's all been confirmed, 10 weeks of sailing at Camp Silver Beach! Training starts on the 29th of May, 201 days from now! Paperwork is on it's way soon, very good procrastination from studying for exams I think :) Yay! Now I can slowly start getting stuff together... saw a New Zealand flag towel in the Briscoes flier that I'm seriously thinking of getting. $10, is it worth it? And I can get my lock! haha

Shelley from the Camp America office in Auckland (?) rang me today while I was at school (Hi Shelley!) and asked if I wanted this to be published :O! So happy reading people :) Feel free to ask any questions as well by the way, I don't bite hard! And she also told me that there's another Kiwi girl been hired by the same camp, yay!!! I'm so excited to get to talk to her, and everyone else going to CSB! But apparently there won't be many people being hired until after New Years, so more waiting... Maybe I should study...

EEEEEP!

So it's been a while... and it's November now :)
Went to the info night last week, little boring. Mum enjoyed it though, and now I don't have to answer as many questions haha
November... It took a while for anything to happen on the CAD, but then suddenly it changed! At first it said that my application wasn't being circulated because my police check hasn't been done and I havn't paid my 2nd deposit. Was freaking out for a little while! But then it changed again to ready to be placed :)! I was way too excited haha
And then yesterday I got home from school and BAM! I had an acceptance letter from Camp America NZ in my email, and now I can log into their website. So exciting!! So spent heaps of time looking at that, and at awesome looking camps as well haha

And then... this morning I woke up and checked my emails. After putting in so much effort to keep my hopes down, I had an email from a director at YMCA Camp Silver Beach in Virginia! The guy "Mish" seems really friendly, there was a whole lot of information about the camp, and then he asked if I would like to be a Sailing counselor, of all things! So pretty much I've had the best day :) It's been super sunny, had fish and chips and strawberries for lunch, and got an email from a camp, already! Wooooooo!

Obviously very excited :)!

Till later!
