This is an amusing story from today, and a shout out to ESI!
Flexibility at its Finest
Today, we went to the beach down the camp road. On the way back, a teammate discovered that she had lost the key to her and her two teammates' room. We were all in our swimsuits and a few of us had other clothes on, but not all (or had gotten them wet at the beach). We had 5 minutes before we had to go perform for the camp (and maybe their parents), which we had found out only earlier that afternoon. We thought we would sing My Sunshine and dance the electric slide (requiring teaching it to half of us).
But our music and our clothes were locked inside. The key was not found. We discovered an unlocked window, which we shoved a teammate through, who retrieved clothes in varying states of cleanliness and the ipod.
We get there, frantically learn the electric slide, to discover that they cannot hook up the ipod. So we have no music. We try to figure out what else we can do. Half of us shoot down the hokey pokey. We figure out that we can play the ipod loudly into the micorphone and decide to go with it *as we are walking down the aisle to perform*. No joke.
We were in various states of dress and cleanliness (but with matching shirts) and we were definetly not all together, but we survived and made (most of) us laugh hysterically when we were done.
Laughter is amazing. I didn't expect this to involve so much of it. More amusing stories and oddities of life in Russia/in a Soviet-era camp to come.
And God is still good. (tbc)
