Oh snap, I love camp

For those of you who might not know, I'm working at Summer's Best Two Weeks again this summer, and I've already been at camp for a week.

The first week that counselors show up is called Ruddy week where all we do is start cleaning up camp and getting things ready for orientation and ultimately the campers.

I guess it's a combination of already having been there and the people that were there this past week, but I already feel more comfortable and closer to more people than I did last year. It was almost as hard for me to leave there as it was for me to leave Penn State.

You're killing me Spills.

Ruddy week is probably one of my favorite weeks at camp because you doing manual labor which is always fun for me, there aren't as many people there as any other time, so you really interact more with those people, and your evenings are basically free, so we get to hang out a lot together unlike when campers are around and we don't really hang out at all.

And of course after spending time at another place and getting close to a whole different group of people I'm even more confused about what I want than when I left Penn State. I'm just ridiculous. I'll go through this cycle pretty frequently of not knowing what I want because I want several different things each with their own upsides and downsides.

The one thing that I don't like about Ruddy week is that most of the people there will be working at the other camp, so I won't really see them as much over the summer. While I grow closer to the new people coming in that I'll be working with, and they grow closer to their people we'll grow farther apart.

Some people who worked that week aren't even going to be counselors, so I'm pretty curious to find out what God's purpose in putting them in my life for a week and maybe never again is.

It's legit. Too legit to quit.
