Ophelia Journal

Day 1. Is there any more ridiculous assignment than journaling? My shrink makes me do it. Won’t work any better here than it does at home, but here goes.

I’m trapped in the wilderness with eight other students and three counselors who think they own us for the next few weeks.

Dale acts like the chief. Okay-looking for an older guy, but he must be like forty-five. Pretty sure of himself and definitely on the bossy side. I like it when he jokes.

Preston’s on the wimpy side. He actually meditates. So dorky. Says he was an Eagle Scout. No surprise there. His clothes look more stylish than practical, like he’s posing for a magazine. Talks in that annoying super-friendly voice that therapists use.

Judy is a tough lady. Not sure she was ever fifteen like me. Looks like a piece of beef jerky with a chunk of dandelion fluff stuck on top. Says what she thinks but keeps it short and snappy. Some people would call it rude; I call it refreshing. If we say “shit” or whatever she always says “language!” meaning not to use bad words, but I’m pretty sure she’s got some “language” in her, too, depending on the situation. I’ll wait and watch.

This morning’s first lesson was “hygiene.” Beyond embarrassing. Who wants to talk about digging catholes to poop or bury blood? Yich. Plus, the spot has to be just right. Seriously. Six inches deep, at least two hundred feet from any water sources, trails, or camp. Use hand sanitizer. Blah blah blah. Hope my period doesn’t arrive while we’re still out here. But it will. Insanely awkward. Anyway, we already had that mortifying lesson. Ach. Ick. Ew. Backpacking is hard enough without adding that extra serving of torture for us girls. Whyyyyyyy?
