The night ends at a quiet fire

It's been a crazy day! 

I started the day with a tour-- one of those tours where they speak English to me and Chinese to each other. It was long, but good. I'm always exhausted after having to languages thrown at me, and feel uncomfortable when I don't know what is being said in my presence. 

Camp was alive today! Lots of people needed rides, lots of people were in the store, lots of sign-ups and questions about activities. 

I was supposed to get off at 8:00pm tonight, but after being delayed a little, the phone rang. A parent needed to talk to her son. He was going to come and call in 20 minutes, so I waited for him to come, and as I waited, I learned the the night hike staff didn't arrive. Which meant I got on the phones and started to call every soul I knew to come and led a hike. The guide came, as well as a maintenance guy who has never led the hike before and loves stars. A fire ended earlier so now I'm sitting here looking at this, waiting for the next group to come, ensuring the forest doesn't burn down.
We are halfway through March-- nothing big has happened yet, I'm not sure if anything big is going to happen. I think about camp and I always see this really cool, inviting, fun person as the person that everyone sees and connects with. I see people looking up to her, I see people being mentored by her. I also don't see myself as that person. I would like to look more like her, maybe that is somethin I should strive to be!
