I can't believe I haven't written for 8 days (EDIT: I misread my soggy notebook; it has only been 3 days) but the truth is that I have never been so tired at 9:00PM. We have essentially finished the 15 projects our sponsor gave us for the week (yes, we're just now half-way through the week) and I'm sure Greg (our sponsor this week from the White River Partnership) would be surprised if it weren't for the fact that my crew did essentially the same thing last year. Greg didn't come out to see us today but should be here tomorrow to rate our work and help us find more projects.
As for camp and group life, I started to get a bit furstrated yesterday because Vanessa and I have such different leadership styles that sometimes we sent a mixed and unclear message to the crew. After a good night's sleep, however, we seem to be back to our normal (what's normal in the woods?) selves. I think not having spent most of our training together could be hurting us a big (she was in the Bahamas teaching at the Island School, if you don't remember) but today marks the half-way point through the seasion and there haven't been too many big bumps thusfar. Mentioning that half-way point made me wish I had printed out a copy of my objectives because this would be a great time to reflect on them. Since I have such limited access to a computer, I think I will leave those larger and more profound analyses until the end of my internship, where I will have a good amount of time off before school starts to tidy up this blog, add pictures, and conclude things properly with objectives in hand.
