Monday-Thursday
I was working girls basketball camp this week. I spent approximately eight hours a day in the camp store selling merchandise to the campers at the camp. Most of merchandise I sold was along the lines of snacks and drinks for the kids to have between sessions. However, there were a few other things we sold towards the end of the week as far as old jerseys, etc. There is not really a lot to say about this other than I was responsible for making sure the store was stocked and was responsible for being there any time the kids were there

Friday
I worked student orientation for the incoming freshmen at Campbell. I was Gaylord the Camel. For anyone who doesn't know, Gaylord is Campbell's Mascot. I went to two presentations this morning where I threw things into the crowd and introduced the freshmen to Gaylord for the first time. At one presentation I actually led another person around who volunteered to be in the Gaylord Costume. In the evening I had to go to the president's reception as Gaylord and pose for pictures with Students and their parents. The problem with both of these situations is that the Gaylord Costume was broken. For some reason his neck was broken, and I could not see anything that wasn't slightly to the side of my right eye. In addition we had a slightly unpleasant photographer who did not seem to understand that it was 115 degrees inside the camel suit and that I could not see or breathe very well. Fortunately I had a couple of people to help me and they eventually found something to hold my head up a little with, so that I got a little more air and a slightly larger range of vision. Fortunately, after spending about an hour and a half or so inside the camel they took pity on me and decided to pull me out early. I know that wearing a mascot costume is never particularly pleasant, but I would venture to say that this experience might have been slightly less pleasant than most.
