Well, after a good six hour drive and a long, windy road up the mountain, Ashley and I made it all the way to Hume Lake Christian Camps in her tiny red-orange car. We spent the drive chatting and got to know each other really well. I have been so blessed to be able to know her. God was truly good to us and got us here safely, each with a new friend. We arrived around 2:30 and got all checked in. Ashley was assigned to a dorm called Deerfoot, and I was assigned to trailor #1 with three other girls (there are supposed to be 8 of us).
At 5:00pm Wednesday night, Orientation officially started. It has been going ever since. We have been bombarded with information, chapels, meeting new people, eating in the dining hall, and getting our work assignments. I have had about 30 free minutes since we started. At least it feels that way. However, it has been so amazing! I have met some really neat people. I auditioned for the "opener" which is the event that launches the week for the campers that come each time. The theme is clowns and mimes, and you guessed it! I'm a mime! haha, we'll see what happens with that. Last night we were rehearsing until 12:30 to learn dance steps and practice fake fighting scenes, because apparently mimes and clowns don't get along very well.
It has been great fun. I am just praying I can keep going on such little sleep! God is good, though, and I am not worried. It has been pouring rain since I got up this morning. I forgot my umbrella at home. Well, I didn't forget, but I decided not to bring it. Bad idea. Anyways, today is more orientation, job assignments, and opener rehearsal. It shall be great!
Oh, by the way, yesterday I found a piano to play on! It was so relaxing just to be alone and play.
