To all little Scouts and Campers out there never ever ever leave for vacation without a pillow it's self destructive. -Life Remarks Teachings1-
And with that little note i shall begin , its been almost a month from my last entry maybe more, i could check and see the date but it is rather boring , (i know i spend energy and time in useless thing but i find it enjoyable). As i said in the last entry i was going to finish the book within the week and i did in two weeks :P i still haven't learned that i never should put a date as to Ending my work it always takes longer when i do that , i promise you that i worked hard i wasn't slacking but it was to long to finish in a week, anyway puting this aside the finish was amazing, calm touching and, opened the road for the second book of the series , i felt very proud of my work and looking back now to every time i put on my headphones in class, went to the local Everest (something similar to Starbucks) and Starbucks, ignored my mothers request to take the trash out to write, was worth it. Writing the last sentence felt like those moments when you take a deep breath ,dive in the sea and moments before you run out of breath you emerge out and let the sweet warmth of the sun enveil you. each letter was the energy that it needed ,each word was the creation every sentence a sad hello welcoming the uncertain future. like everyone i used to see Books nothing more than pages that rumble with the wind. as i held and looked at a poorly made creation (words of my inner critic, i believe its great :D) i felt this second pulse making my hand slitgly move from its place i looked closer , i though ''can it be'' thousands of flying lights where tangling together none was the same colour but i started recognizing them one by one, the gold one the green with a pink tail.... sorry i digress.
After finishing i took a vacation to relax and regroup i went with my scouters team to a nearby campingsite, it was my first time going on a trip with them, i felt so diffrent i had no clue what i was doing, i even got what i had to do, we were pretty tight as a group and we didnt argue in every mistake one of us did...actually we were so amazing that we didn't fight once and we were all there for each other leaving any uncertainty or difficulty behind at the blink of an eye. every time i faced something i wasn't certain i can do someone else would come to relieve me, if i wanted to but i refused to take advantage of it , it's not fair to them to work harder because i am little less experienced, i planned to try my best even if it was going to be hard and the pressure was unburable.
we were grouped in three categories the :
kids
teenagers
adults (simple isn't it ) :)
teenagers and adults worked together to make the games the kids would play, kids played and laughed all day most of them. (we had some minor injuries )
DAY 1
Not much to mention we sucked, we had zero synchronization no ability to communicate efficently and it was amazing how the scedule didn't blow back in our face. the kids managed to set up camp until the end of the day even though we had quite some problem to face with timing.
DAY 2
After working hard until 3 o ' clock that day we decied to split up our jobs as we should have done from the begigning (we did it we just didn't follow through) our coordination was amazing everything went on smoothly i praise my two new friends Nick and Chris for their hard work and ubelievable style , Nick was the leader of the hole operation as every decicion was his burden to carry , Chris was the one that had absolute control of the schedule and coordinates everything ( among many people i am called a genius of creativity but he is someone that rivals me in every inch and he may even be better than me) , before those two i felt quite useless and everything i did wasn't enough but i helped as best i could :D
My eyes weren't good at spoting mistakes at how things were supposed to work. when i was asked how was the day i would usually aggree with the one speaking before me or say everything was good , as long the kids were having fun that what mattered to me, but i understand that some kind of scout protocol should be followed and i tried to behave when listening to absurd nonsense. (nobody liked the protocol but if we don't follow some rules then that makes ordinary and god do i hate ordinary). My eyes also aren't good at staying awake after two o 'clock but they presevired until listening that i had the coardination of the next day.
DAY 3
Emerson said '' Do the thing that you fear most and the death of it is certain '' did i follow that rule no, not that much i run like a little chicken , i know what you are thinking but the Doctor ( Doctor Who ) he also cried and run when he saw the hole of space and time at age twelve in Galifrey through the rift .
Enjoy the day, that what i said to myself the day begun smoothly everything was going ok the kids were playing , and of course having fun the thing that i had to do and didn't was the salute while we all sing our national anthem together (imagine screwing that up ) , and i let Nick do it. he helped me a lot that day we played pokemon at least a scout version of it, it was awesome i wanted to play to but couldn't , listening to the opening themes was enough and made me plenty happy. the hard part didn't come yet, until lunch when the kids had to cook if i remember correctly and i had made a supposedly wrong order of T-shirts for everyone, doubting myself i hardly do somethng like that, but i was responsible about that so i had to check, a lot of money were on the line, an added pressure pushed me down the rabbit hole. i lost my appetite , with what little connection to the internet we had i went to check my emails about the orders, Guess what happened i was right , i explained the situation and everything went smoothly but i couldn't shake the fear of ''what if'' it lingered strongly within my heart , i tried not to show it but not eating was enough, Nick tried to comfort me , beside that being VIP (thats how we call ourselves when we have the responsibility of timing) was some kind of right of passage , everyone was nicer to me either i was so freaked out and they could see it which i doubt it or they tried helping because being VIP is tiring as hell , and it was the second one (i am an awesome actor).at the end of the day just before dusk we lower the flag , how should i describe the process.... firstly i yell so everyone in the campingsite hears me i say ''Freeze '' then a kid starts lowering the flag each five seconds i whistle with my whistle five times (that is the best part of being VIP everyone is under your command when you whistle :D ) you then have to say '' resume your work '' but i said ''communion" the two words are really similar in Greek and it's easy to mistake them , Nick told me what to say but i miheard him (you probably think didn't you listen when that happened the last two days , no i didn't :P ) following Emerson Quote i stood up to my fear and absulutely ridiculed myself , and it was the best thing that could happen all day because in that mistake a grand laughter was heard from everyone me included as i realized what i did.The tension just left my body , i relaxed and told myself enjoy the day,everything went on better from that moment onward and not only for the rest of the day but the rest of the week , after feelng this kind of discomfort everything in comparison was pretty easy to deal with. as day 3 ended i went to sit alone for a moment under the clear dark night sky and its stars after of course a good bath.
The next days were amazing tiring but amazing and with the help of everyone ( Serhan-our Doctor , Kifefs-Sailor , Raksa-Beuty therapist , Maria- DJ/photographer , Zografia, Maria- number 2 , Leo that's me :D , Anastasia , Big Screw , Vasiliki. Chris - whos name is Pelican and Nick - Perseus we manage to create an amazing adventure that everyone will remember for the rest of their life , We are planning to do something better and bigger next year i hope :D.
What stayed from the prosece wasn't the games but the smiles i saw on the kids faces and tears the last day. As from Now i thank everyone for reading and feel free to comment ask anything on the comment section. the book is going to be amazing i promise nothing less except magical, heartwarming, and a tear in the end
Thats ho i felt the first two days :D
