Sven showed up at camp in the middle of one of our Spring Break sessions.
With a handshake, a hello and a tour, he was whisked right into camp life.
It’s going to be a great summer.
We’ve learned a lot from our new intern thus far, too.
If nothing else it’s highly entertaining.
Sven handed it to me in a game of regular ping-pong.
“I’m not that good.” like.
World, meet Sven.
Sven, meet World.
Angela Swain: Let’s start at the beginning.
Where are you from?
Sven Westermann: Cologne, Germany.
How old are you?
Where’d you go to school?
I’m 24.
I studied … (momentary pause to Google English translation) Sport Outdoor Education and Movement.
I heard you and Lee did some exploring around Oregon this week.
We went to Pacific City.
We surfed with the Academy kids.
Sounds fun, glad I got the invite.
So, tell me more about Headis.
How many hours a week do you play Headis?
In a good week probably 10 hours.
When it’s nice we play Headis all night.
I was in a tournament once.
I lost to an old man.
Just wait, we’re going to make Headis happen this summer.
What made you want to do an internship at Windells?
I looked it up in the internet.
Hood had snow all of the days around so I decided I would.
What are you looking forward to this summer?
That the rain stops and that people show up.
Activities and games and things.
What’s your advice for the rest of the interns this summer?
Bring your own tweezers for sticker picking because we only have one pair and they are mine.
