After an entire week of working I finally got a day off Sunday night. Having 7 hours to yourself after being with 4th to 8th graders 24/7 is AMAZING! On the other hand, our night off was spent in the butthole of SoCal known as Redlands. Well, it wasn’t all that bad. We went to some hole in the wall sushi place which was so tasty after having “kosher”-this and soy-that (It was just revealed to me that the chicken nuggets were in fact MADE OUT OF SOY…WTF?!?) Anyway, after shopping for some snack food essentials in Target, we waited in line to see the epic premiere of the Dark Night, the new batman flick starring Cristian Bale and the late Heath Ledger. THAT MOVIE WAS FUCKING AWESOME! If you haven’t seen it yet, I suggest you save up and see it (or be like Adam’s dad and use a coupon on top of the AARP card discount—love ya pops).
After getting back WAYYYY past curfew around 2am I was just about to fall asleep in my cabin when I heard a light scratching noise near my bed. I figured out the noise was coming out of my bag and I poked it with my cell phone and it stopped. I knew it was something, so just as I shined my cell phone light on my backpack—all of a sudden a small mouse pops out of my bag and leaps away. I was scared shitless (no lie—you would flip out too if you found a mouse in your bag). I guess it was karma because 2 nights before my campers woke me up at 4am to tell me this and I quote:
Camper: “Adam, I think there’s something in my bag.”
Me: “What do you think it is?”
Camper: “Well, we think it’s either a mouse…or a snake.”
Me: “…just go back to sleep.”
The next morning we found some kid’s bag chewed through and PB&J sando annihilated. I told them in the morning that I would have gone into “counselor mode” and saved the day, but thought to myself that it would be too much work and more importantly, I was REALLY comfortable.
Other than those two crazy instances, all is well here. Only a week and a half left! I will try to upload some pics ASAP so you can see what I’ve been up to.
