רגע

I'm still having fun and learning a lot at staff orientation, but today was difficult. Not only was it the day that we all shared about our Jewish identity, but we are all quite tired.

I am an introvert, no question about it, and I really really need alone time to be able to handle everything in life. The lack of alone time hit me today. Whenever I would sit down to have a moment to myself, someone would need me or come over to just talk to me. Now, it's nice that I have friends and that I've made some really amazing connections, but it is extremely tiring for me. I hope that I can keep it together while the campers are here and that I can manage to at least get a little alone time when I have the chance.

A highlight of tonight was kabalat shabbat. It's basically bringing in the sabbath. I'm very impressed at how we incorporate shabbat  into the camp. It's very easy, fun, and not heavy religious. However, we do have a synagogue and one of the counselors is  the religious leader for the camp and does all of the serious religious traditions /ceremonies so that those that want it can have the religious part of camp.

Edit: Apparently I accidentally started this with "Moo". It's gone now, but you can still laugh at my sleepy typos.
