A return to normal(ish)

CTY is back to normal, or as normal as it can be with most of the camp on edge, some quarantined. Spent the morning between sleeping and jolting awake, thinking I was late. Then I would realize, this is CTY - we don´t eat lunch until at least 1:30.

After the meeting, I wanted to move around a bit, so Kristin, Rachael and I did some salsa dancing and other dances which I can´t really do, and we played around on the Piano to pass the time. All this free time I am having in my life would be a great opportunity to get back into something such as the piano or clarinet.

Lunch actually had something green!

I think Baltimore layed down the iron fist on Aramark, the food company that does the meals here. Provide veggies or else is what I imagine, though who knows. They may have been somewhat gross, old and canned veggies, but hey... it´s a start. They definitely won compared to all other meals having some natural color to them and not being fried.

No ham this meal either which was nice.

I am pretty sure the illness here can be attributed to the awful quality of the food, combined with the other factors of new places, lots of contact with new people and a myriad of other things - basically, sickness was inevitable.

Group activity today to go to the market (potentially hijacking the swimming pool bus for that purpose) and let the kids purchase things. Of course, we expect them all to just buy more junk food and not the nutritional things they need. Melinda and I were talking about trying to find airborne, and be preventative.

Skype is working now pretty well on the audio, comes and goes with the video. I have free calling to mobiles and landlines, a package I purchased for the month, so if you want to talk - let me know when you are free (my schedule is... complicated).
