That's what I said to myself a couple of months ago during my spring break. "How about I find a job for the first time ever?" Well, it wouldn't be my first job ever, I've been a babysitter for a few families before, but I don't know how much "work" is really involved in that. So I decided that I'd step it up and find a real tax-paying job....as a summer camp counselor for a camp I camped at when I was younger. I applied, interviewed and lo and behold, got a job as a "Unit Assistant", pretty much a glorified babysitter, according to my list of duties and responsibilities.
I was extremely excited about this new opportunity until I actually went to the camp (which is on the edge of the Ocala National Forest, if that tells you anything) for the first time in years for Open House. I seem to have forgotten how hot and muggy this camp is (and this is coming from someone who's lived in Florida her whole life!), especially with no air conditioning that I was able to find. And better yet--no cell phone service! This will CERTAINLY be an adventure...but thankfully I was able to rope my sorority big sister into working there this summer too.
Right now I'm in Orange Park (right outside of Jacksonville) for "specialty training" for camp, which I'll post about later, but right now I'm on my way out the door to start lifeguard training...from 1-8 today! Seven hours in the hot sun and pool...bring it on!
