APPALACHIAN SUMMER: TAKE 2

Whatsup Appalachia! I really wish I could put into words how amazing it feels to be back in the mountains. No matter how many times I've driven past the same overlooks and parks, all of the views still take my breath away! I got here yesterday, and today was SIM day-- Simulation Day. The rest of the returners and center directors and I were at different stations acting out possible scenarios for the first-years to run into, so when they got to our site they acted as if they were real staffers and tried to get us under control. It was tons of fun, and I got to bond with a bunch of staffers who I'd never really gotten to talk to before. Now we're back at the center and I just took my first Appalachian shower... though I probably won't take many more. I'm going to try to break my record of lasting 8 days before taking a shower... hahaha heck yeaaaa! This very well might be one of the only places I'll encounter where personal hygiene is overrated.

Anyhooo, the next few days are filled with lots of sessions about construction, Christian leadership, how to talk to volunteers and group leaders, and then on Sunday we'll figure out our staffs!!! I'm soooo excited. Last summer will be pretty hard to top, but I foresee an amaaazing summer ahead of me!
