Day Thirty-Eight

Once again today was a day of blocking. But it went really smoothly so thats good. We worked right through when our snack break was suppose to be so we took it around 11 30. I leave at 11 40 so basically I ate a snack then left to go to lunch. Best conversation of the day by far.
Little girl: What does your bracelet say?
Me: Reea
Little Boy: Why does it say Rea?
Me: Its short for Rearcous, he is one of my friends at home.
Little Girl: Rearcous?! That's a Mexican name!!!

I love my kids this week!

Work this afternoon really just felt like a bunch of busy work. Charles really just tries to keep me there until at least 3:30 but sometimes, hell a lot of the time we just don't have enough work to keep me busy that long. I did find out that I have to go at 3pm on Friday to pick up mats from Hendersonville Elm. for one of our camps next week. I am really not all that happy about this because Josh will be here, oh well I have to go to work.

After dinner tonight we decided to go to the hooka bar. It ended up being Cindy, Teressa and I and had so much fun! It was great to have a night off lot. And to just bond and have a girls/ roommate night. And even though I now have a headache we still had a great time.

Day Thirty-Seven

Happy 4th On the 6th!


So basically we had shows on the 4th of July and so we could not celebrate it. So today was our celebration. We started at 4:30 which is also when we started drinking the mystery punch. Hamburgs and Hot Dogs where eaten and we all just sat around and talked. We where given different colored ribbons which split us up into three teams. We then precoded to play games.
SO MUCH FUN!
It was a bunch of relay races, bobbing for apples, wedding dresses out of toilet paper. All around fun.
We then ate ice cream and had a fire pit. It was a really great way to spend the evening.

Camp this morning went really smoothly as well. We have 8 kids this week and they all seem to at least want to be here which is nice. We have one girl from last week, the one who freaked out on the day of the show. Hopefully we will no have a repeat this week.Tania left to go to a memorial service for about 30 minutes so I got my first taste of how running the camp as the head teacher is going to be. Not nearly as scary as I thought it would be. Although I was very happy when Tania showed back up. I didn't really have a whole lot to do when I got back to the office that afternoon. I installed the programs for the new digital camera and uploaded the pictures. Organized some stuff in the library. Then was sent to Wal-Mart to pick up the new ipod/cd boom box that we had ordered. This proved to be a difficult task since my car keys had fallen off of my caribeaner. I luckily did find them however and by the time I got back to camp Charles had gone home so I got to leave a little bit before four.

Only 2 more days until Josh gets here. I can't wait!

Day Thirty-Six

So our internet was out last night so I will do yesterday's post today. :)

Teressa and I ended up going to Jackson Park to see the fire works on Saturday night. it was so much fun! We got there about an hour before they started so it wasn't too long to wait. Getting out of there was a bit crazy because of all the people but we made it. Once we finally did get out of there we realized that we would be getting back to the Rock right as the show was getting out which would be almost as crazy as leaving the fireworks so we got some food and went to Wal-Mart since I was going to do that Sunday anyways. I was actually social and went to a fire pit and hung out for a while when we got back. I think I like the smaller gatherings at the fire pit better.

When I got back inside I saw that I had an E-mail from my boss. I had messed up an e-mail, so I told him I would go into work on Sunday morning in fix it. It put me in a really bad mood because I keep messing up really stupid easy things at work and of course that is what he sees because he is not there when I am teaching and helping out with the kids. But I know that it will all work out and I will just have to be extra extra careful from here on out.

Besides going in to fix that e-mail I didn't do a whole lot yesterday. I ran for a mile after lunch and watched the first two episodes of Dead Like Me, which is a really funny show, before dinner. After dinner we watched the Family Stone, which basically Teressa and I spent the whole time talking about how we wanted a white Christmas and how it must be so awkward to send holidays with your boyfriend's parents. Then we made a CVS run to get Teressa some icy hot for her knee. We started to watch The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, because yes we are that cool. I didn't see much of the movie though because Josh called so I went and talked with him for a while. As I said we lost the internet last night so I tired to go to bed after I took a shower. But since it was only 11 I was A. Not tired and B. to anxious to sleep. So I watched part of He's Just Not That Into You and played solitaire until I was final tired enough to fall asleep.

So all around good weekend.

And I will do today's update tonight haha.

Day Thirty-Five

Happy Fourth of July!!
Midnight Studio was amazing last night! The host had on black body suits and then had stick figures outlined in glow sticks on them. So funny! After that I went and hung out at the fire pit for a little while.

Got to sleep in this morning :)
After lunch Teressa, Casey,Jennifer and I went to Triple Falls. We spent the next hour and a half hiking up to the water fall, hoping around on the rocks, laying out and swimming around. It was so much fun. Then Teressa and I decided to walk around down town and get some ice cream. Later we drove over to Ashville to go to the bookstore/mall. Then back to lot for a yummy burger dinner. All in all it has been a really good 4th so far. Later tonight we might be going to see fire works. :)

Day Thirty-Four

One more week of camp down.
And I am officially half way through with camp.

Morning camp was interesting to say the lest today.Jophia showed up 20 minutes late but luckily she got there before we had to call. We had to put in our high school assistant because one of the kids just could not get his blocking down and it was really important to the show. Lauren felt really bad about it but the kid wasn't all that phased by it. Neither of us had ever worked with a kid that had autism before, and even though he had high functioning autism it was still hard. We then had to hold house for 15 minutes waiting for a parent to show up b/c they where having car trouble. When we where finally able to start I went back stage to check on everyone and we had a kid who was having a stage fright attack and was hiding behind the curtain in fetal position refusing to go on stage. We tried to talk her into going on stage but she wasn't having it. This meant that I would have to go on as her part, so I went off to find a script since I didn't really know her part. By the time I found one and went back to run the lights she had decided that she did in fact want to go on. This was more than ok with me. The show went really smoothly and all the kids and parents seemed to be really happy with it.

I then had to run to get food off lot. I was at the gas station when my boss called me. It was just past one, and that was when I was suppose to be back. I was really afraid that I was going to be in trouble, but all he was doing was calling me to ask me to give someone a message. He must have known that I didn't leave until after 12 30. Thank God.

The second show ran just as smoothly as the first one. We once again had to hold house for a family. But other than that we didn't really have any big upsets. I even got to leave at 4 which was nice.

I tried to go for a run before dinner tonight. But my knee and ankle where not having it. Between the fact that I ran two miles yesterday and the fact that the weather is changing up here, they were not happy. So after a mile my ankle gave back and I had to hobble back to lot. I guess I can't run for 5 days in a row and expect my body to be happy with me.

This weekend is the first weekend I will have with someone to hang out with and I am very happy about this. Even though we will not be celebrating the 4th of July until Monday it will still be a fun weekend.


I have been reading a new book for the past week. It is called A Million Little Pieces. So far its a really good book, but I don't know if I am going to be able to bring myself to finish it. The book is about a man who ends up in rehab. Its an autobiography and is very detailed. Its more than someone disturbing most of the time. Its something that is very hard for me to read because of the people in my life that I know are lucky to be alive. And even though I know that I should look at a book like this and see that someone made it out ok, it is still hard. I guess because it makes me think of my own demons. The ones that don't want to go away. Its the same type of habits, its the same train of thought, its just a different medium and that in itself is a very scary thought. None the less I would still recommend this book to most people. I know that once I finish it I will be happy that I read it. Who knowns maybe something in there will help me or let me see things from a new perspective.

Day Thirty-Three

I am dragging today. I shouldn't be this tired but alas I am. I guess it is because I have gone to bed at one the past two nights in a row. Oh well such is life.

Last night was fun. The opening night party was a lot more relaxed than last time. It was fun to get a little dressed up and just hang out with everyone.

The kids did a lot better today in my morning camp. After leaving a little late for the show because we had to wait for one student to show up, we hiked up the mountain. The kids absolutely loved the show. It is a really cute show, and even though this is my third time seeing it, I still find amusement in it because the kids love it so much. When we got back to the education center we gave them frozen lemon aid. This is also something that I will not get tired of.

The afternoon camp was better today. We lost one kid, he decided to go home, we are not sure why but oh well. I think that the show will fun smoothly tomorrow, I'm just not sure how entertaining it is going to be.

I had a lot of work today after the camps where over today. I had to send out some e-mails, file and enter new forms, alphabetize a section of the liability waivers, and make copies of all the boarding camp kids paper work. This all meant I did not leave work until around 4:30 which is about 40 minutes later than normal.

I ran about a mile today, maybe longer I am really not sure. But I was really dizzy afterwards. But I have apples not so hopefully that will help.

One week till Josh gets here :D

Day Thirty-Two

Today has been an eventful day in the world of youtheatre.
It wasn't all that bad for my morning class. We got to be in the room where they will actually do the show on Friday today since the Day camp went up the mountain to see Lincoln. These kids need to get there act together! None of them had an desire to work on the show today, it was painful to watch run after run of it. Lauren and I thought that maybe once they got their costumes things would be better. No such luck. Most of the girls either hate the fact that they have to wear a dress or the fact that their dress is pink. But with that drama aside Issac made me laugh throughout the costume trying on processes. This little boy is five and very small. We gave him the smallest pair of pants that we could find in our costume shop. They where huge on him. He walked out of the bathroom and asked me for help. He let go of his pants to show me how big they where and they fell around his ankles. His shirt was also sallowing him whole. Then when it was time for them to put their clothes on I went into the girls bathroom to help everyone in there. Issac couldn't get his shirt unbuttoned. So he walked back to the room where Lauren was to ask for help. Only problem was he wasn't wearing any pants. So she asked him to go back and put pants on and then she would help him with his shirt. This would be the point where I heard him singing in the bathroom. So I went in there to see if he needed help and he was still just standing there in just the button down shirt and no pants.

After that fun morning it was time to go work with the Day camp. Apparently I had missed some fun this morning. Dustin couldn't hike up the mountain. He had to keep stopping then he looked like he was about to be sick so Charles took him back to the education center to call his parents. By the time they got there he was fine so he stayed for the rest of camp. I would like to point out that this kid is not over weight or sick, nor do we have any documented problems for him. Oh well. Then we had a little girl fall and scrape up her knee on the hike which caused some tears. Also our assistant this week came down with something and will not be here for the rest of the week. Which means that I am now in the play. Then we tired to give them their costumes. One girl was so upset that she has to wear a beard... she is a dwarf. It almost brought her to tears, this is not something that I have a lot of pertinents with. Luckily we got through the rest of the afternoon without any other problems. And tomorrow is a fairly easy day since we will take the kids to see Rutabaga! up the mountain.

Tonight is the opening night party for The Perfect Wedding. Its outside this time so hopefully that should be a lot of fun. I hate that I have to leave early because of work but being hung over while working with little kids just is not something that I really want to do.

On a completly unrealted note I am in love with Pandora radio. I have been listening to it pretty much non stop since I have been up here. My favorite station is my Gavin Degraw station. If you like, Gavin Degraw, Jason Mraz,Sara Bareilles you will love it, go give it a listen
