Yo dawwwwgggg.....

I made it to camp and have been here for 2 days so far...it's a surreal experience; at the moment there aren't any kids here, but almost 200 staff members doing pre-camp training and bonding and stuff. A lot of them are Australian, but there's also people from all around the world (there's stacks of Americans of course) It's been all really weird, and things have been happening so fast that I've barely had time to take anything in, although I have managed to get really really SICK! My nose was so blocked last night I had to sleep sitting up. Yeah, awesome. But apart from that, everything's been pretty cool, people are really friendly, and the camp itself is just beautiful.

Prior to camp, I left Melbourne Friday morning and arrived in LA Friday morning (!). We went from the airport to the hotel, where we did orientation and stuff. I met a girl called Maddison, who, scarily has EXACTLY the same sense of humour as me, and we spent a lot of time quoting stupid movies and laughing.

Saturday was one of the greatest days ever cos I got to spend it with Simone!!! (yes, people, be jealous...be very jealous). We cruised around LA -which I found out has more cars than Australia has people - did Santa Monica (i saw my first squirrel), Hollywood (where there are HEAPS of freaks) and various places around LA and then ended up kickin it at her awesome pad. The day went so quickly, and before I knew it I had to get on a plane and fly to Newark, NJ to get to camp. We caught the bus from the New York port authority and I got my first glimpse of a crazy New York street...yellow cabs EVERYWHERE!

Anyways, I've got a time limit on the computer and I have another activity to get to so I better scoot. I don't know if I'll be able to post up photos but I'll give it a go. Hope you're all awesome!!

see you bye.

P.S. I met a girl from California who actually says "gnarly" in normal conversation!!
