So, I'll be gone all July, I'm training to be a counselor at my camp. I'm spending two weeks, then a day break, then four days, then a day break, then a week there. I'm excited, sort of. Though a month of five-minute showers, hole-in-the-ground toilets, and camp food, does not sound like an exciting prospect. We're working all month, but we don't get breaks, or get to bring electronics (like phones or ipods, etc.) until maybe the last week (counselors are allowed breaks and electronics, and as JC -junior counselors-, so do we). But it will be fun :D My only real, legit problem is the month out of my summer where I don't get to work on my summer work. Of which I have a lot.
Me and my mom went to go see My Sister's Keeper, the other day. It is an amazing movie, quite moving. Everyone in the theatre cried through the entire thing (of course, "everyone" was four girls). But it hit me hard, because a friend of mine whom I've known for twelve years was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was in the sixth grade. She's in remission, and her hair had pretty much grown back, but you can still see her scars, and I just kept thinking during the movie what if this was her? what of this did she go through? Let's just say I looked awful when we got out of the theatre.
And tomorrow we're going to see Public Enemies, with Johnny Depp. He picks some very good films to be a part of. I mean, all the Tim Burton films (my favorite is Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street), and then Pirates of the Caribbean. He just has a very diverse range of characters. But I'm quite excited about seeing Public Enemies, because it's different than a lot of the other things he's done.
