I never know what to title these.

I'm working at my school's summer camp this year as a C.I.T. and today was the third day. Until recently I was pretty sure that the kids weren't to fond of me. That is, until I was about to leave today. At the end of the day we go into a room that has a bunch of toys and some computers (macs, because my school is a mac school. I hate macs), and today I had to set up the computers for the kids who wanted to play. It took forever! I'm glad I figured out how. Anyway, one of the kids who I set up a computer for, came up to me as I was about to go home and handed me this picture:




This pretty much made my day. I don't even know the kids name, and he drew me a picture! I was so happy.

The reason I said I didn't think the kids were too fond of me was because the other counselor got hugs from all the kids, and the kids would ask to play with them and everything. Also, twice I almost/actually did (not sure which) reduced two girls to tears. Not intentionally.

There is this small bounce house that is set up in the gym and only two people are allowed on at a time. When I was on "bounce house duty" this one girl wanted to go with two of her friends, and I told her only two could go on at a time. Well, what do little kids do when they normally don't get what they want? Start to cry. So, I let them on because I hate it when small children start crying (especially if I caused it).

The second time was when a girl came up to me and asked, "Do you remember me?" I really had no idea who she was so I said that I didn't. She looked crushed, and seemed on the verge of tears, and just walked away. I felt really bad even though I'm pretty sure I'd never seen her.

Those have been my C.I.T. experiences so far. Did I mention I don't get paid? I only get service hours. sigh.

Just Another Blog

It's a Saturday night, and it's summer vacation. Why am I doing nothing? I wish I could drive, so I could drive myself to a nice park and sit in the moonlight and play guitar, read, write...I just want to do something. But, I'm doing nothing. I lead an interesting life.

I really have no idea what to write about. I just started writing an entry now to...well, do something.

Tomorrow, I'm supposed to dedicate most of my day to cleaning the house. Mainly my room. This weekend seems really long...don't know why.

I saw Imagine That yesterday. That movie with Eddie Murphy, who is a really funny actor. It was a great movie, and I loved it. I suggest that you all go see it. It's worth it.

The pictures from the 8th grade dance are online, and I don't really like posting pictures on facebook because all the annoying notification from comments are, well, annoying. So here, have a picture of me and my boyfriend Nathan at the dance:



Notice how neither of us are actually looking at the camera. Psh, we're waaaaaaayyy to cool to look at the camera! If we make eye contact the camera will explode due to too much head-on awesome.

Okay, I think I'm done now. DFTBA!

Don't worry! I'm still alive!

Things I've discovered while I haven't been blogging:

I'm not at all sad about the people leaving from my grade
I could spend two hours in a book store, admiring and reading parts of books and leave without buying ANYTHING
I've got some pretty sweet dance skills
Summer school is more fun than school
My feet now hang off the end of the bed, unless I only sleep with one pillow
I have a slight addiction to twitter
Alex (starting to think I should refer to my beda buddy alex as TOA-the other alex, because my sister is also named alex. This time I mean the beda buddy) and Maddy are some of the coolest, most awesome people alive
LyTysha is also one of the most coolest and awesome people alive, but this wasn't as recent of a discovery
If I want to be rebellious, I don't punctuate my text messages correctly
The Remus Lupins are now my favorite wizard rock band
Graduation Day by The Remus Lupins should be played at all graduations, although it is mainly for Hogwarts graduations...
I can read two books at a time and NOT get confused (I've never actually been brave enough to try this until recently)
I miss my old camp very much, but can't go this year because I'm to old. I WANT TO BE THERE
I have some of the most awesome friends alive (this was not a recent discover, but I thought I should mention it anyway)

The night after the 8th grade graduation was the 8th grade dance. It was WAY better than I thought it would be! So much fun. I didn't expect slow dances to come, but alas, they did. There were only 2 or 3 though. Nathan and I slow danced together, and neither of us could actually slow dance well. It was funny though, and we enjoyed being the most awkward couple on the dance floor. At one point in the night, Nathan and I got into an intense disscussion about Dr. Who. It was GREAT.

I requested for the D.J. to play Total Eclipse of the Heart, but they DIDN'T! I wanted them to, so I could say, "You know what leakycon, I can have a dance party to that song too!" Although, it wouldn't have been as awesome as leakycon's, of course. However, my friends and I did get them to play Don't Stop Believin by Journey. Although my voice was completely shot by then, I sang as loud as I could. It was funny when pretty much EVERYONE broke into the chorus after the 1st verse. When will they learn? If you want to know more about the dance, my siste wrote a blog about it.

I'm going to summer school for five weeks and taking geometry. It's hard, but fun. The teacher, Mr. Cox (who's name reminds me of Dr. Cox from Scrubs), is really lax, but we still learn a lot from him. There are only seven people in the class: Two high schoolers who are learning Algebra 2, one other girl taking Pre-Algebra, and a total of four people taking geometry. All of which are from my grade, including my sister. I really like summer school. Oh, and the teacher doesn't give us homework!

I was in Borders the other day and went in without money (a stupid decision for someone who loves books). After my sister and I checked for nerdfighter notes-no luck-we went to the children's section to see all the Harry Potter releated stuff they had. They had Mugglenet's book Harry Potter Should Have Died, that just came out a few days ago. I flipped out, and Alex bought it for me. I read it, and it is awesome.

Not sure what else to write now. Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Please don't eat me!

DFTBA!
