MEDEBA: A New Hope

So I'm here. At Medeba. Immediately I was reminded of leadership camp. The gophers Scott Munro was so afraid of are just chillin' which is cool. The credit cards from our egg drop were still in the fireplace un-charred. It's going to be hard to try to seperate that weekend from my definition of what Medeba is. Since I've been here I have done some climbing, some belaying, some zip lining and about 500m of swimming, and that was just today. The past couple days have been full of seminars and other events that were fascinating and taught me a lot in some cases, while offering a quick refresh in other cases. I'm a little sunburnt, more than a little tired, and extremely excited for what this summer has in store. The other staff are super cool and I have connections to some of them directly, and others through friends. I had an aweXome time trying to learn how to juggle, the aweXomeness stemmed out of the level of failure I experienced. I'll try to update more as things come to mind. Oh, I don't know if I've ever eaten so much, the food here is quite possibly spiked with addictive substances. Not that I'm about to complain.

The Pink Panther

Much as I regret to say it, on the 10th of this month the Golden Hawk was shot down by a vicious hunter known as "the wedding". After a one week period of mourning I rose to the challenge of yet another fun and creative hairstyle and it is with great enthusiasm I present to you... The Pink Panther. A pink pawprint skillfully applied to the back of my head by the talented Sarah Tripp, that's spelled with two p's if you hadn't noticed. Though it was a fantastic job of dying it is hard to observe this image if it is not in direct light, natural light is best, however it has been known to show occasionally under artificial light. The beauty of this design is that it is not just a pop culture reference, it is a simple image and the colour contrasts nicely with the black that is the rest of my hair. In addition there is an unintentional bonus in that it shows school pride. GO HUSKIES!

Umm... sorry?

Ok, I've been receiving several comments recently and I know that I owe you an apology. It has been three and a half weeks since I have posted anything on here and it's almost entirely my fault for a large part of that time. A lot has happened, including a period of approximately a week where my computer wasn't working at all. However it is finally fixed and I can begin to comment on things. I will do my best to post on here, however it will not be daily for quite a while. I am pleased to announce that starting tonight I am going to be at Camp Medeba in Haliburton. If you want to send me things, such as chocolate, money, medals, or trophies, even pizza trophies you can do so via this address.
