Today is the day. It all starts now. It has simply been the four administration staff at camp. Of course we have been busy all day everyday. Nevertheless, it has been a slight alternate reality. It was as if the four of us were stranded on a deserted island. Preparing for our "children" to arrive. Ready or not they start arriving today. There is no turning back and it is time to fake it until we make it.
I feel the anxiety inside intertwined with excitement. It is like the first day of school when you are a child. New people. New dynamics. Unsure of what will happen. Will you succeed? Will you fall on your face? Will you have the same friends? Will everyone work well together? Is it all going to fit in the vision we have been creating in our minds for the past year?
There is now a whole other aspect to this. Not being just a staff member there are so many more concerns and finite details. Things that you would never expect to encounter. Things you never imagine to be handling. Those add a new element of concern and wonder. Today is as if the first piece of the puzzle is being set on the board after months of sorting pieces. Each day from here is where we put all the pieces together.
Ready or not hear we go. Summer 2012 is just beginning.
