Whew! Just made it!

I'm cutting it close, but this post is keeps my daily blog run in tact! Woot for that!!

Tonight I essentially committed myself to working as a camp counselor this summer. I worked at Camp Stanislaus in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi for three summers from 2002-2004 and loved it. It's located on the beach with an 1,100-foot pier extending into the bay.

Here's part of my reasoning for returning:

1. It's a job--as in, it pays me to do something that I enjoy which is more than I've got right now.
2. I'll be able to continue job searching and applying for positions. Also, me working is with the understanding that if I find permanent employment, I'll be able to step down from my position.
3. There is a possibility that some of the staff (and perhaps some of my favorite people in the world) that I've worked with before will be returning for very similar reasons.
4. I'll be able to help bring camp back to it's former greatness. After Hurricane Katrina practically decimated campus in August of 2005, camp was not operated for a few years. In 2008, a new camp director reopened, but he had a lot of difficulties for the two years that he was in charge mostly due to his own incompetence. However, this year, the director is one of my former co-counselors and he's ready to bring back some old school productivity with him.
5. Honestly, I don't know what else to do. Job searching hasn't been the most successful so far though I'm still very hopeful and know that it's only a matter of time. I'd much rather be productive with my life while I wait.

I'm still working out the details and trying to see if it's really a feasible and responsible option for me, but as of now, I'm beach-bound for the summer.
