| last week i had the Group From Hell at the girl scout camp i work at. i was leader, for the second week in a row. i don't know how i survived the week, but i did, and i was hoping that the director (Alicia) would take pity on me and give me a smaller group of older girls. instead, i was put with a group of eighteen seven year olds. granted, i wasn't the leader, and there were two aides with us. but the leader was new, and after two weeks of leading i wasn't happy about letting someone new who had very little clue what they were doing (and who was slightly condensending to me, and clearly didn't appreciate my experience) tell me what to do all week like i was an aide. all my friends happen to have tough groups (though not as tough as mine) last week, and alicia put them all in groups with more staff and older girls. i asked alicia if i could move, and she acted as if she had been half expecting me. she was very nice about letting me switch with angela (who is a very sweet person who has had fairly good groups all summer). i am now with a cadette/senior group called "writing for real." there are FOUR people in this group, and i am the sole staff member. they have an instructor in the morning for two hours. they range in age from 12-16, and one of them is actually a month older than me (and a grade above me, but she needn't know that). the girl that's my age didn't realize she would be the oldest camper, but she's still really cool. we have a ton of free time, but we filled it today with cards. tomorrow we are going to play with duct tape (they seem pretty excited). we are going to make saftey pin bracelts (they liked the one i made for myself), and i think i might have them decorate journals with decopauge too. i love crafts, so this will be a fun week. another thing that's really great about this week is that my group has pool at the end of the day at the same time rita and jenna have pool. rita, jenna (who i haven't seen since school ended), this girl sara that i don't really know (but she seems pretty cool), and i all made duct tape bracelets at pool today (we fastened them with saftey pins), as signs of the cult. they were tickled to hear that i was a member of the fellowship of the duct tape, and asked for the url to the website. i also joined rita's band (i can't remember what's it's called, something about soap), and learned that the title of the first song is going to be something about pee (aren't we mature?). hehehehe. alicia called this my "sanity week," but i'm not sure it will have the desired effect. still, i'm having fun. and i signed up today at the library to meet holly black wednesday, which should be fun. | |
