Things are deffinatly picking up around here. Between being entertained by roomates' attempts at Tiebo, dodging flying Mc Donalds cups and sitting around outside watching the summer campers drive by in golf carts, it's an incredibly exciting summer.

Have I mentioned the campers?
They're outside milling around as I speak, the bunch of hooligans. For the nest two weeks OBU is hosting 5,000 kids for Supper Summer, a summer camp "experience" for high school youth groups. From what I can tell, the premise of the camp is to get closer to God through the use of airhorns and shouting. Make a joyful noise eh? Hopefully God enjoys it more than we do, cause yeah...we don't at all.

On the way to work I enjoy playing a fun game called "hey-stupid-campers-get-out-of-the-way." The object of the game is to ride for as long as one can on the actual sidewalks without breaking speed. Points are deducted if speed is reduced or if the player has to move to the grass in order to get around the brightly colored, giggling obsticles. Points are awarded for various acomplishments:

5 points if the campers acknowledge your presence but continue to take up the entire sidewalk
10 points if they introduce themselves and the color of their "team" but continue to take up the entire sidewalk

25 points if your yelling actually insights them to move from the sidewalk
50 points for getting so frustrated that you plow over them
100 bonus pointsif one of them is holding an airhorn.

I'm going home now...I've been in the library much to long.
