Heading Off to Camp

I'm going on a school camp next week. Each year the school where I work organises an Indigenous cultural camp for both the school's Indigenous and non-indigenous students. This year we are going to a nearby national park (pictured to the right). The school invites elders from the local area to teach the students about the cultural significance of the area. I'm quite looking forward to going on the camp. Not only will it be a good way to get to know the students with whom I'm working better, it should also be a great opportunity to learn about a culture different to my own.

My only problem with going on the camp is the issue of privacy. There is going to be around forty students, school staff and family members attending the camp. I don't feel 100% comfortable around people to begin with, so it could very well be a bit of a challenge living in such close proximity to so many people. Hopefully when I start feeling hemmed in, I will be able to escape into the bush for a little time alone.

Apart from the above, I haven't got a lot of news at the moment. Generally, I've been feeling okay. SH does remain an issue though. When I burn, I tend to keep going with it for a little while. Tomorrow should see an end to that however, because I won't have a lot of time to myself whilst on camp.
