Where doing laundry is no longer a chore, it is an adventure!

Once again realizing how much I miss it at camp. If someone told me I had an hour to pack my bags and get to the airport, to board a plane to California,  to live and work at camp, I would do it in a heartbeat. I wouldn't need to be told twice. I'd shove all my important stuff in a suitcase and be out the door in maybe twenty minutes.

I miss almost everything at that place. I miss how things you view as a chore in your everyday life become an adventure at camp. Take doing laundry for instance. At home I do laundry because I have to. If I don't, I don't have clothes to wear. It's tedious and uneventful and I don't take a nice trip in a car or get food in the process. At camp, laundry day is fun. I do laundry every week even if I don't really need to. I go into town with whoever's going, get to listen to music with the windows down for a nice car ride, get to eat Little Caesers or Hungry Howies or pho or chinese or ice cream or City Slickers or something from Albertsons or Savemart, get to hang out at the laundromat reading magazines or the local paper, get to watch a movie if no one has to be back at camp for a shift. Grocery shopping is fun, too! Walking aimlessly around the store grabbing snacks you want, but definitely don't need, is fun. Last summer I talked a little bmx camper's parents to give me a ride into town to get rice cakes, water, and candy. Stashing food in your room is acceptable and encouraged. Sleeping is even fun, because you get to sleep in a bunk. Staying up late is fun because you almost always have someone else that is staying up late or doing something or going somewhere [like Denny's or Del (SWELL) Taco]. Going to the thrift stores and buying stuff you don't need is fun. Talking to strangers in town is fun. Going to 'work' is fun. Going to breakfast, lunch and dinner is fun because you always know what you're eating, when you're eating, know you'll never eat alone and can eat as much as you want.

Life is fun at camp.
