what lauren did this summer

I had an amazing summer in Boston. I lived with the Huangs (kim, harry, brady and dillon) where every morning and night was an adventure. Then during the day I went to a camp in Charlestown (in Boston) to work with 5 11-13 year old boys with Aspergers syndrome. It's pronounced "ass burgers" and one boy who was interested in the latter found this to be very funny. The idea of eating something made of that part of the body doesn't really seem very appetizing to me either. But then what do I know, I am an herbivore. So here is a glimpse, a day in the life, of my summer camp experience...

New York finale, the Cabin, Camp, and the Hall of Presidents

I left New York, came home to Maryland for a while, then went back to Boston to begin RA training. I just had my first floor meeting with my residents this morning. We trained for about two weeks including a two day stint at Camp Burgess. I have included a couple of pictures in New York, a picture that gives a taste of the new look in the cabin, some shots of the Cape Cod camp, and some shots that I took of my floor decorations that follow the theme, The Hall of Presidents.
