So, everything's going pretty well, and I'm learning new stuff, since I've never done AC before. Though it will be a challenge, I think I'll be able to pass the tests at the end of the two weeks as long as I study hard. Other than that, not much to report. Woo! Oh, and I'm now officially Cast Away, ...

Yeah, I'm down at AC hab. But right now I'm in that ward room place in hab1 because I needed to check my email... luckily my school email works! I just had to frantically drive to the mall (I got here pretty dang late) and get my hair chopped off. Woo. My friends will never recognize me. Luckily you...

So everyone else is there? I got a special one-day extension because of exams, and yet I'm still stuck here at college. Geez... I kept adjusting and adjusting my schedule based on what I was and wasn't ready for, and now I'm just trying to get everything packed so I can go both home and to Huntsvill...

You know, for regular adult camp, I was wondering the same thing. For alumni camp, I don't think it matters as much. But for adult camp or adult ASA, I always wonder what the average age is. This is why I said at some point perhaps there should be a college-aimed version with a slightly more serious...

Any word if Blogger is blocked? What about if someone were to set up a Wordpress somewhere, perhaps here, for that purpose?

I assume so. You'll probably want to wait for someone else to reply, though. Cool to meet you! What's your actual name? It's cool that so many of us who are going to be there are already here at Hab 1.

Are you one of the new hires?

The way I understand, type 3 does come with the meals, at least while you're with a team... I have no idea otherwise but I would assume so. As for weekends while training, I have no clue.

Haha, that's a relief. I'm sure I can handle this. If I get a chance, I might head down to my school's pool between exams tomorrow just to go for a quick swim. I like the semi-backstroke idea, too... that should help. And if I remember properly from when I used to swim, I wasn't that bad at doing an...

Re: Don't get me wrong...

Please don't miss understand what I am saying... I think it is a shame that Space Camp loses quility staff that want to work at Space Camp. I wish we could change that. I we need to come up with a new system. Ideas? Well, all I really know is if the opportunity somehow arose for me to jump ship ove...

600 meters? Huh?

Anyway, though I have a ton of exam studying to do, I'm going to see if I can stop by our pool on campus at some point today to at least try a few techniques. We'll see.

Yeah, since I'm stuck at college I'm sending my parents an email tomorrow about all that. Can any previous counselor speak about the swim test? Like I said, I know I can "pass" a swim test (I can do the distance, it just takes me a while), I just don't know if I can do it quickly enough if...

The tests I'm sure I can handle if I study, but one thing I'm wondering about is the swim test. I know I can pass a swim test, but it takes me a lot of endurance and treading water temporarily to do it. Do you think they want me to be able to pass with flying colors? I sure hope there's some leeway ...

Yep, I'm excited about working green this summer (took me a while to actually figure out what you people meant... haha). But as a camper, all I've ever done is blue!

Hmm... I think I'd know 30 days before the camp whether I'd decided to put in my resignation (or whatever they call it) 2 weeks before it... and honestly, I think it's decent timing, though I'll run the idea by my parents. It's cheap enough, considering the money I'll be making with room and board i...

Oh geez... training tests? Ugh... that should be difficult. But then again, this is fun stuff. If it were Camp, I'd probably pass with flying colors, but here, I'll have to learn all kinds of new things. Oh no... I'm sure we'll all do fine, though. I'm really excited! The only other thing I'm person...

Cool! I know it used to be dialup-only (the manual still says counselors must provide their own dialup), so that's good to hear. Of course I'll still bring a dialup cable just in case... Uhh, I'm pretty sure my laptop can do dialup... well, I know now that AOL is free I can probably pull that off if...

Very cool photos! That's a piece of Camp history I have never known... weird to think that camp is 5, almost 6 years older than I am!
