Start of Orientation

On Thursday morning I had to get up super early to go back into NYC to get to the bus station to get the long bus up to Portland, ME. I met up with two other British guys, Sean and Dom, who are also counsellors at Sebago so we traveled together. We had some time to kill before the bus arrived so Dom and I walked to Times Square at 6am which was fun. Can't wait to visit NYC properly! We had a long ride up and passed the time playing 20 questions. Arrived in Portland and the camp director and my unit leader picked us up and took us to camp. I share a cabin with 3 other girls, Meaghan who is from New Zealand, Nicole aka "wazzo" and DJ who is my co-counsellor. On the first night despite being super jet lagged me and Meaghan stayed up til 2am chatting to Josh and Ryan, so the next day we were pretty tired still. It has rained heavily for the past few days but it finally brightened up a bit today. Proper staff orientation started today so we had a few talks etc and then just chilled out playing frisbee etc in-between talks. Earlier tonight every unit had to present a skit to the rest of the staff so my unit (younger girls) did this like choreographed clapping thing which sounds weird but it was pretty funny! Anyway have to go we are just in mcdonalds chilling and leaving now to go back to camp!
