nicole's a gimp

i was playing ping pong with May from Norway and i managed to slip and land on my foot awkwardly. i scrapped it up pretty bad and now i can barely walk on it. after two days of hobbling around the campsite and being unable to do most of my duties here i decided to go to a doctor. i've got a prescription for an anti-inflammatory and some sort of cream that the pharmacist says no longer exists. so i went back to the doctor and he said to try somewhere else for that cream. the pharmacist just snickered when i went back and told her this. since i don't feel like doing the one footed bike ride any further then i have to, i've decided to just forgo the cream. maybe Christina will drive me to another pharmacy this afternoon.

since i can't do my morning survey or beach patrol duties i get to go to more hotel or boat turtle slide show presentations. last nights was so awful. it was a huge resort for fat, rich people and they sqweezed us inbetween some of the worst entertainment i've ever seen. there was a mock model show and kids music and dancing. all at really high volumes. we didn't make all that much money either. no one there was interested in what we had to say.

last night some of the girls from camp got invited to be bartenders at one of the local bars. everyone from camp went and we all got free sambuca shots forced on us all night. i'm already tired of the party atmosphere at camp. it's very incestuous and people have starting hooking up left right and centre. i seem to have my tent in a really bad location. i'm right in the centre of 3 different new couples. luckily i'm pretty tired at the end of the day and can sleep through most anything but ewwwww! is all i have to say. not sure if i'll be hanging on for the full 6 weeks if things are as crazy as they are now. Liz (one of the girls serving drinks last night) didn't get up for her morning survey shift after two supervisors tried to wake her. she got an official warning. if someone has 3 warnings then they are kicked out of the camp. i wouldn't want anyone to be kicked out. especially her, she Ms. Gossip and is fun to talk to.

not much else is new here. so far i've had way too much spare time. i've already finished two books and am on my third. there is a good 2nd hand book store here and i will have to check it out soon. one just has to say that they work at Archelon and there are discounts at all the stores. i'll only cost me 2 euros for a book if i return it. much like a library. i'll be pretty brown when i get back. i've had lots of time at the pool to read and work on my tan. it's coming along nicely. ha ha suckas!

Nicole,

Sorry to hear you are a gimp. Sounds like you are having quite an experience though!

I've had a quick read of your blog, good stuff. I've added a link from my blog at Mike-Williams.ca.
