Day two of leadership camp. Started off waking up to a most unwanted text from someone I haven't talked to in eight months, which really pulled my already ridiculous day down. But I shoved it out of my mind and focused on the first task at hand: be super stoked to jump in a freezing creek at 6am. I pulled through and it was super fun.

Unfortunately, even after downing a lot of coffee, which usually affects me well, I was still quite obviously tired. But it was due to a lot of things, not to mention the fact that I only got 3 hours of sleep from having to stay up most of the night because the roll call of the students wasn't done properly the first time, so we had to go around the girls' cabins several times to make sure that no one was missing.

But lack of sleep aside, the rest of camp went well and I was finally able to go through my binder with Schmidt, which really helped me calm down. That, and also the fact that this leadership camp has just really helped me relax, because really? this whole teaching things is totally nothing new, and I'm totally down for it, and able to do it. Like, totally no prob. Or at least, in the confidence part... I just get super nervous when I'm working with the kids, I mean, sometimes I get nervous because I don't feel I'm capable of doing what I actually can do. Nerves. So obnoxious sometimes.
