Yes, indeed, I spent my morning as a radio-head (and I'm not talking about Thom Yorke...although that would have been equally cool!). Today I co-hosted a morning radio show with four girls from G1, G2, and G3! This meant, however, waking up a half hour before I usually do (it may not sound like a lot, but on a counselor time frame, every moment of sleep is precious), and making my way over to the radio room by 7:15. Now, as a pre-cursor you should know that I never really got involved with the radio program when I was a camper here -- although I always wanted to, I just could never squeeze it in! I think I may have done a show once or twice with a friend at the beginning of my Balli-career, but the memories are fuzzy because my first summer here was ten years ago. Therefore, ridiculous as it sounds, I was a little bit nervous to make my real radio debut. I'm proud to report that it was...
a huge success!
A major upside of being a counselor at Ballibay is the option to dabble in a few new areas of interest in your free time, and I think co-hosting the morning radio show definitely falls into that category. Alongside the campers, I learned how to properly wear the microphone and headphones, giggled along with the girls as they danced to the crazy music we played, and chatted with them about the high adorable-factor of the many kittens we have pouncing around campus. The campers didn't miss a beat and kept up the chit-chat for 45 minutes, although the entire experience was so fun, we probably could have gone for another hour. I hope I get to co-host again before the end of the summer!
In unrelated news, we've passed the half-way point for first session, and I can't believe there are less than two weeks left with this group of campers. I realize that I tell you this on a regular basis, but they are just incredible people -- so smart and funny and talented -- and such a perfect blend. It's too soon to get blue about their departure, so I'm just going to continue enjoying their presence here!
More soon,

Hi Elizabeth,
Is there any possibility of hearing the show? Hope there weren't any goat issues! Claudia, mom of Zipi
Hi Claudia!
Yes, we make the shows available online ASAP. I'll let you know the link as soon as John gets the show up and running! Zipi did a fantastic job on the show!
