I cant believe my parents are making me go to this stupid summer camp--I mean, I'm 18 years old! Doesn't that make me exempt from sitting around and making friendship bracelets all day in some remote corner of Alaska, where the Model T just made its first appearence. I mean, they don't even have electricity in Camp Overunder, much less cable. I was looking forward to spending my summer vedging in front of the tube, maybe work as a HTML programmer on the side and training for the Canadian Henley. Instead, I have to go to some insect infested swamp for two monthes. Jeeze, and Sam wouldn't even come with me to keep me company.
I arrive in Jouneau (sp?) at the airport and see the sign for the camp so head over towards it. A college age man (boy?) is holding a cardboard sign that has "Camp Overunder" written on it in jovial letters. As I approach it, he says, "Hi, I'm Tobias. What is your name?"
"I'm J-man, are you a counciler (sp? i'm not very good at speeling
) "
"Yes, they dragged me out here to look after you guys."
"I know the feeling, where are you from?" I asked.
"Alaska University,"(I wish i knew more about alaska...) replied Tobias. "How 'bout you?"
"I'm from Seattle (sp?). I'll be going to University of Wisconsin next year though."
"Well, I'll introduce you now. This is Rachel, she's another conciller. And these are the rest of the students. We're still waiting for one more plane from California to arrive, and then we can head out."
I smiled at Rachel and glanced at the rest of the people waiting around. There were about thirty kids, all about my age, or so sitting around. Some were talking, others listening to music and others just starring off into space, looking shocked still from their journey. I sat down next to a boy wearing a Arizona sweatshirt and reading a magazine.
"Watcha reading?"
"SI, you read it yet?"
"Is it the Tiger Woods one?"
"No, the NBA draft preview," he replied.
"Oh, who do you think'll go first?"
"Marten for sure, what about you?"
"Yah, I think so too."
"No way, Mateem Cleaves is the greatest--he should go first," the girl sitting next to him said. She was wearing a Michigan St. shirt.
"Yah, whatever," the guy reading the magazine said. "He's too small, and not a good enough shooter for the pros. He'll go mid 20's I'll say."
"No way. The Magic will pick him, they need a good point guard."
"Let me guess, from East Lansing?" I ask?
"How'd you guess?" She smiled. "I'm Cindy, whats your name?"
"J-man," I said, and she burst out lauging. "What?"
"J-man? What kind of name is that?"
Ouch. "Well, its better than most of the names on this board
. Whats your name?"
"Heatheranne." It was my turn to laugh.
"I'm Jawsor," the guy reading the SI said.
