First week of training :)

One week down! It has been so great to be back here, but so strange at the same time! I've been having a lot of fun getting to know the new staff and reconnecting with the returners. This week we went on our 3-Day hike to Puffer Pond and then climbed Chimney Mountain almost as soon as we stepped out of the woods from Puffer. We had a great time of bonding...especially since in it was raining and freezing! But for the most part we stayed dry and warm. :) For Chimney Mountain we climbed up at our own pace, but as fast as we could...we just had to push ourselves. Chimney is about a 1 mile steep climb, but the view is totally worth it! Last year I made it up in 31 minutes and 10 seconds, but this summer I did it in 28 minutes and 18 seconds....I improved!!! But anyways, we are now on our day off, starting last night. We had a great adventure with doing laundry (for example: figuring out where we could do laundry since the place we were told was locked, getting more coins, and the laundromat flooding!) but aside from that, it was fun! - not that those experiences weren't fun... :) Anyways, it's about time for lunch, so I best be heading up to the Hill to eat. I'll update soon!
