In the 'real' world (the world outside the fantastic-ness of Coppercreek), I'm working full time in order to fund a summer in California and then returning to University in the Autumn. I graduated in 2008 with a degree in History and English Literature and love nothing more than reading, writing and studying really old and boring things; like castles, that nobody else really cares about. This is one of the reasons
I love doing all sorts of 'cool' things, although not as often as I would like. This includes but is not restricted to, swimming, dancing, laughing, drawing, painting, reading, walking without any particular place to go, yoga, musicals, taking photos (mostly of clouds and trees), riding my new bike, travelling, thinking, star gazing, cloud spotting (California has some of the most amazing skies I have ever seen), climbing and kayaking. I also absolutely love everything Shakespeare ever wrote, I wish I had come up with the idea of Harry Potter first, I used to be a cheerleader at University, I use a hideous amount of adjectives when I write/talk and I enjoy rummaging through thrift stores for my clothes.
I miss everything about Coppercreek Camp. It is without a doubt my favourite place on earth. I miss the kids, the small animals, my cabin, the pool, high ropes, the scrapes and the bruises, camouflage, thumper, fancy dress, and even the food.Especially grilled cheese and tomato soup day. Last year you would have either found me at the pool all afternoon or running around after my lovely cabin of teenage girls, either worrying about them as if I were their mom (I guess I kind of was for a few weeks!), or having the most awesome fun ever with them as if I were their big sister. I can't wait to do it all again this year. I miss Friday night dances and I fully believe that rest hour should be instated in every work place. Summer can't come around soon enough!
