Wrangling Youths

My friend Mary claims "wrangling youths" as her job description - she, like me, works as a camp counselor during the summer.  Both of us have begun our jobs and will probably not contact one another until the dog days of August when we'll begin preparing for our senior year of undergrad.

Camp is a four-letter word where I'm working.  The kids are not "campers," they are "scholars."  The staff refers to the "residential high school summer enrichment program."  We provide mandatory convocations and a diverse film series.

So basically, it's nerd camp.

I attended as a junior in high school and began working last summer.  It's not a bad gig - there's always someone around to practice French, to make me laugh, to intimidate me with his vast lexicon...  A learning experience.

In addition to RAing, I'm considering career options, researching internships and jobs in the US and abroad.  Why did I purchase an LSAT study guide?  And why haven't I learned Chinese yet?

Also, I have created a summer (read: hopeful) reading list.
