Day 2

Today was absolutely exhausting. You will think that I am exaggerating the whole way through this post but I assure you, I am not. Also bed is calling my name so it's unlikely that this will be too long.

 Last night was rough. I couldn't fall asleep because my mind would not shut down. A girl got in at 11PM last night and they turned on the lights and asked me some questions about where she was sleeping. Then I woke up really early because the cabin is full of windows so the sun came right on through. also, IT WAS SO FLIPPIN COLD! I only had a sheet, bedspread, and a blanket on it and I have two more blankets that I didn't think I needed.

 I needed them.

 This morning all the waterfront staff went straight from breakfast to the local Y and everyone had to swim a 200yd front crawl a 200 breast stroke and a 150 of either stroke. After we finished those we had to tread water for 2 mins without arms. Then we had to swim to a brick 20 yards away and retrieve it and then swim it back on our backs. The last test was a 3 plates test. There were 3 plates put at 5 yds, 10 yds, and 15 yds and we had to push off from the wall and get them all in one breath.

 phew.

 We moved on to lifeguarding skills after that. We took a 15 min break for lunch and then went back to the pool for 4 more hours. We went back to the camp and had a 15 min break to... put on real clothes and go to the bathroom and get out of swimsuits

In case you were wondering this is camp. My cabin
for now is right behind the one on the left. It's gorgeous!
 We had class until supper and then a class after supper. I think this feels more like school than Purdue ever did :P

 It was really hard to do all of this and get to know everyone and their NAMES! for the love of everything I can't get them right.

 Well, I'm off to find all the blankets at the camp and SLEEP!

See you soon!
