The End of the Stretch

The last two days of the long three-week stretch passed quickly. On Friday, most of the cabin seemed out of energy. The campers were almost all there for three weeks straight, and I guess they were getting tired. The most obvious example of this was Abdul. He is always the loudest person at camp, whether it was yelling for his girl "ROHINA," or other campers "Happy Birthday Craaaaaaiiiiiggg," he said over and over on Craig Poe's birthday. Instead, he seemed exaused all day Friday and he did not even want to go to  the final council fire.

For the first time, I did not play the role of the archer at the council fire. Instead, I got to watch it happen and take a video of it. I will also add that the person who took my place did screw up the one line he had so I would say I showed him up.

Saturday was a bittersweet day. I was exausted, but at the same time it was sad to say goodbye to some of the campers that I knew would not be coming back. I was really thankful that most of the campers stayed in our cabin for the three week stretch because it allowed me to get to know them really well. It even go to the point where I did not laugh at every corny joke Lesley made, I was just that used to his personality. I also learned that no matter what, Bob will always be stubborn, so it is best to just laugh it off and let him do his own thing.
