This week in the training room....

So this past week I've been paid to...

• read Son of a Witch, the book after Wicked.
• hand out mouth guards to high school football campers.
• watch those same high school boys do football drills.
• watch tv episodes on my computer: Psych, Burn Notice, Bones, Royal Pains, basically a lot of USA network shows.
• watch movies on my computer: Alice in Wonderland and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You may say I'm on a Johnny Depp kick.

Its hard to believe that summer is almost over. It seems like just last week I was hauling boxes up from the storage room and sorting supplies. Today, this is the last day of volleyball camp. Next week there's a lacrosse camp from Sunday to Wednesday and then I'm done working camps. 

What will I do with my new found free time? Well the first week of my wonderful time off will be spent in Florida with my mom and brother. We'll be going to Disney and visiting family. I'm pretty excited, not gonna lie. 

Well I'm gonna watch the rest of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 

Till next time....

July 11

First day of women's basketball team camp, soccer elite camp, and some dance camp and guess what I've already done. If you guessed sent a kid to the hospital to get stitches, then you guessed right. Ridiculous, huh? And the best part, this lovely soccer player wasn't even playing soccer. He was goofin off in the dorm room and hit his chin on the floor and well, you know how the story ends. Great way to start off the week, no? Hopefully we don't have a repeat of the first week of camps and send a camper to the hospital everyday. That would NOT be cool.

So right now, I sit here, in Devos, smelling Papa Johns pizza given to us courtesy of the coolest women's basketball coach ever, listening to Pandora, checkin my facebook, chatting on gmail, with an occasional injury assessment. This is basically what I get paid for. I love my job. :)

Well I will try and be better about updating. Till next time....

July 8

What's happened since May 28th?

    - Matt's out of the hospital and doing well. 

    - I'm living at Fairbanks Cottage.

    - 3 weeks of summer camps have happened.

    - I sent my first camper to the ER.
    - I went to the beach in Holland.
    - I helped Carissa put stuff in storage.
    - I went to a Tigers game and watched them beat the Mariners, 7-1.
    - I traveled to TC to see Katherine.
    - I got lost on my way to TC to see Katherine.
    - I went shopping at the Gap and saw Toy Story 3 with Katherine.

Overall, I've been busy...but with some pretty cool things/people. Living in Holland during the summer has been nice. My housemates are pretty cool and the cottage has air conditioning which is definitely an added bonus. Thankfully most of the camps have been uneventful. Our first week was crazy. Who knew men's basketball team camp would cause so many injures? I'm just preparing myself for the elite soccer camp. I've heard wonderful things about that.

Tuesday, I made a trip up to see Katherine. We had lunch with her mom, saw where Kelly works, walked around the Cherry Festival, went shopping at the Gap where I got some pretty sweet clothes, went swimming, went jet skiing, ate dinner, went to see Toy Story 3 (after buying snacks at Target), decoupaged for the first time, had a successful bonfire...yep I think I got everything. We were mighty productive. I had to drive home the next day though. I had an awesome time visiting, even if my directions up there were so confusing it probably took me an extra 45 minutes to arrive at my final destination.

Well I'm gonna head to bed...I think I may go buy a white skirt at Meijer in the morning. It would go quite well with a shirt I bought at the Gap. ;)
