unsilenceddream | An update

I just wanted to come in here really quick and give a short update. The 2009 NFB convention was super awesome, (I plan to do a post of its own on that later), and I was sad to see it come to an end. Good times with good friends plus all of the things I learned and was inspired by. It was awesome hanging out with old friends and meeting new ones - you know who you are. Just...wow!

I am now currently in Philly, helping out with a day camp for blind children for the next two weeks. Instead of last year where we mentors were assigned activities, this year we're assigned a student each, and we follow that one person through the camp day. I am a huge fan of this approach as opposed to the other one. I'm having a lot of fun doing what I'm doing.

Tomorrow with said camp we're going to the beach. I am not exactly thrilled with this prospect as Liz + beach = massive sunburn, usually anyway, and it isn't always helped with sunscrene, either. I'll hopefully come out unscathed, or at least not too terribly so. I have no clue why I have a strong aversion to the sun, but so it goes. Can one be alergic to it? Haha! Kidding...kind of. I'm also not too much of a fan of getting all sandy/salty/wet. Perhaps I outgrew the beach, I don't know, at least in that respect. Late night and early morning walks on the beach, however, are a whole different story altogether.

As for other things of significance, I'm not too sure. I haven't fully recovered from convention, and going straight into camp afterwords has completely thrown my sleep schedule off. The frequent headaches I've been getting for the past week now are probably not a good thing, either. No idea. When I'm tired I can't sleep, and when I'm seemingly not tired is when I have time to. Confusing much? I'll be okay. I'm off to try and sleep sometime soon, more later.
