First Day

Hello everyone,
I started this again because of my relatives asking me to. I have been at camp now for a little over a day. I am located in New Hampshire this summer off of lake Winnepesake (?). So far it is very quiet as there are not too many people here. We are just doing some organizing and cleaning and I settled into my room. I share a room with two other girls, so far a girl named Olivia from England, whose boyfriend also came here with her. Then some other girl that won't get here for a few more days. This camp is a little different because there is a main campus and an island camp. The island camp has the older kids and has about 150 campers. The main camp (where I am) is about the same but is all the younger kids. There are two infirmarys, so in ours on the main camp it is just me, a nurse who is from south africa and was in the peace core for 10 years and another nurse. There is a doctor but not all the time, they said that the nurses can do the sutures too!!! Which I hope to do before the end of summer, we will see. They are letting me do a lot this summer and the nurse that I am working with is very nice. The infirmary is very homey, it has a couch with a tv and then the sick kids stay in a totally seperate room, where there is about 6 beds to the room for overnight sick kids. I also will have to do two nights a week on call, which will be fun. Last night the group went to a movie and tonight we are doing a wal-mart trip which is very much needed because our bathroom in the infirmary has no bathmat and I almost killed myself yesterday. Anyways, I hope that everyone is having a warm summer as it is only 60 degrees and raining here. Speak soon XxXx
