Sick chic

How did this end up this way? I had the best two days ever following the worst couple of days ever!
Last week I was off the end of the week, it was super nice. I was just laying down at the beach and working on my cast tanline, because it's off now! I sunburned my back after falling asleep at the dock for an hour. The very next day I was lifeguarding, which I liked a lot! I didn't save anyones life though...
At the end of the week I got sore throat and started coughing and on Friday when it was ridiculously hot and humid I started sounding like an asthma attack victim. I almost fainted so I had to spend the afternoon at the nurse's office, I had a heat exhaustion, people drink water!!!! Little did I know how well I would get to know that office this week....
Weekend was just amazing. First we had our weekly staffparty in a house with a hottube etc. The next day we were wondering around Wisconsin with one of my friends and ended up sleeping in his comfortable aircondisioned house (well basically we told him that we were gonna stay there, so he didn't have a choice). Moving on to an epic Sunday. We overslept like an hour and got to the camp at 10. But me and Crisscross (an international from England) HAD to do laundry, so one girl dropped us at a place called Launromat, where we  do our laundry. (Camp has one washing machine, but we are NOT allowed to use it...ridiculous) We ended up being stuck there and had to call a P-staff member to pick us up, they were not very happy with that. Ooops.
The camp for this week was for innercity kids who are potential high school dropouts and they would get their gym credit by coming to the camp. We knew we were gonna have a crazy exhausting week ahead of us, but I was really bumped, especially when I was supposed to be cos with one of my best friends here. There were supposed to be 300 kids. At 1pm on Sunday 107 of them showed up. I was told that I would have 15 kids with my co...well NONE of them came. I was so upset. I was looking forward to that experience and challenge and then they were telling me that I will not have any campers. We figured that the problem was 4th opf July, so we were calling all of the kids who didn't show up and offered the choice of coming on Tuesday. Until Tueasday the rest of the staff just had to hang in there, shadow some groups and do service projects. We were so pissed. We had to cut some trees and paint buildings etc. Just ridiculous.
We were expecting 60 more kids to come on Tuesday, but only 15 came. So that was 1 more girls cabin and 1 more boys cabin. I would have gotten a group, IF I wasn't so sick. I had a cough AND I also somehow got a diarrhea on top of that. Lovely. I have just spent the most miserable two days of my life at the nurse's office. The first day I was just complitely off, I don't remember ANYTHING, except for that the nurse had a red circle in her shirt that I kept staring whenever she came to me. I spent two days straight sleeping (the time that I was not at the bathroom) and not eating anything. Now I'm just hoping this week to end and can't wait for next week!

ps. A game called messages to Garcia is the funnest game ever ;)
