This week has gone really fast. On Tuesday, I came in with Jake at 10:30 to help walk the kinder to the CDC at 11:30. The bus schedule is not very conducive to Camp A's work schedule so we are always showing up early for work...which is fine but it can be annoying sometimes when I want to sleep. Anyway, I got back just in time for my break and Lunch and at 1pm the center was open for the kids. The middle schoolers were on a field trip bowling, so it was pretty dead. I spent a lot of time hanging out with the kids, and I was at the front desk answering the phone. I go there so the counselors can spend time with the kids, and I can read. Sometimes the director, Rachelle, gives me busy work to do and we joke about me being her personal assistant. It is funny, and I don't mind the extra work. I also started reading Twilight, out of curiosity, and now I am hooked. Damn it for being so addicting. I am officially obsessed, and am reading it an extraordinary rate. Grr. Anyway, after the kids came back from bowling it was a madhouse, and I was busy hanging out with them/facilitating a group of rambunctious teenagers. Though it can really be a job sometimes, I don't mind being the rule keeper. And they still like me which is good. :) I was exausted by the end of the day, even though we didn't do anything particuarly strenuous. The rest of the week it was more of the same. Each day is always somthing new, and funny, and I am reminded of how much I love my job. I play a lot of risk, and I am already getting tired of Guitar Hero after two weeks of barley touching the thing. Jake and I started a pool tournament, and some of the kids barley could barley play so it took forever. But we had a great turn out, and the kids had fun. A teen beat Jake for the win, and he will have his picture up on the wall for the rest of the summer. On Wednesday we were playing dodgeball and Jake was calling the kids punta very loudly. He didn't know that it meant bitch. When B told him, he abruptly stoppeed. It was pretty hilarous. And on Friday I was playing Apples to Apples with some teens, a girl put down the word "whipped cream" to fit the word "sensual." The best part was she didn't do it to be inapporpriate....it was just the first card in her hand. I laughed so hard at that. Also on Friday I learned how to do the "crank that" dance, and Jake and Mr. Alli laughed at me, but I still maintain I wasn't THAT bad...though I do admitt it probably looked funny as I attempted to follow along. We still don't have a lot of kids signed up for the morning but the afternoons are getting pretty busy. Which is stressful, but also fun. And I cannot wait for Monday!
