I know everyone wants to hear how camp's going, so I'll post some of an e-mail that I just wrote to my dad.
This session is MUCH better than July session - I have an awesome cabin (only 10 girls - 7 old and 3 new, but the new ones are really cool and the old ones are girls I've known for years; they were really excited to see that they got me). Waterfront is closed 4th period (which is now, as I write) because we have so few campers (175 instead of the 225 from last session), and I teach a diving class first period instead of swimming. Also, I'm getting along WAY better with the other counselors now that the annoying 'cliquey' people are gone (they were all here for June and July, not August). There are some people, like Christine and Vanessa, who I'm really going to miss. The time's actually going fast now, believe it or not.
Oh, and Dad just sent me an e-mail saying that he and Mom are in agreement that I can have Lasik!!! So in a few months, I'll be able to wake up in the morning and SEE, and not have to fumble around for my glasses and then put in my contacts. I can't imagine what that must be like. My eyes are really bad (left -4.50 and right -7.00) and so I decided that I'd rather get that corrected than have a breast reduction (something else I've wanted for a long time), because vision which is that poor can be not only a handicap for certain professions, but also a danger to yourself in certain situations (e.g. what if I lost a lens while driving?). Whereas the breast reduction, while tempting, would be 90% for purely cosmetic reasons. But really, I wonder what it'll be like to be able to wake up and SEE, wow... I've had glasses and contacts too long (since age 7 or 8) to know what that's like anymore. I always thought it would be easier to wake up if things were in sharp focus when you opened your eyes instead of being fuzzy. Now I'll be able to find out if that's true, haha.
The counselor computer is defragmenting, so I begged and pleaded to use a lodge computer, so I better not abuse the privilege. Talk to ya later...
