i’ve been trying to write a piece for my final writing class for the last couple of hours – but i’ve just got nothing.  my mind is filled schedules and staff training manuals and i’m worried, i think, that if i let my mind slow down, to think outside of that defined box – i forget an important detail.  on top of everything – i thinking i’m getting the camp plague – before camp even starts.  it hurts to move my eyes from side to side – which can’t be good…right?  i’m operating with the understanding that as long as it doesn’t get worse than this – i can manage feeling this crappy all summer (i know – ugh).  it just can’t get worse.

this morning ABN and i went and picked the two israeli counselors up from the airport.  did you know that in restaurants in israel the default cheese is low fat?  me either, and i’m still skeptical.  but i assume this will be only the first of many new things that i will learn this summer.  it’s going to be exciting…right?

we’ve been watching NBC’s INSIDE THE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE. it’s basically the most fascinating thing i’ve ever seen.  i just love them – which i know is a cliche but…ugh.  also, a lot of michelle’s (i think she’d want me to call her michelle) staff wear banana republic…i’m just saying.

okay, i’m going to drink some hot water and lemon and get to bed early.  technically staff training doesn’t start until tuesday but i’ve got a group coming for cpr/first aide training tomorrow and of course…the israelis.  who are requesting massive amounts of ice…
