Smorgasbord

I rollerbladed almost 18K today.  I am tired.  I took a great fall at the VERY start of the day, as I wheeled towards Ava.  My upper body stopped as I grabbed onto her, but my legs kept going out from right under me.  I expect a bruised bum tomorrow.  I was also kicked fairly hard by someone trying to demonstrate their vertical, and also banged in the mouth with a pop bottle.  I also failed to win even 10 times out of a billion rounds of Signal.  Sigh.  I need my Signal partner back!  :)

So, it was a fun fun fun day!  I'm so sleepy and slightly sore.  I'm hoping I don't have a billion bruises everywhere tmw.

On a side note, I saw Honey, but didn't think it was that impressive.  The kid Raymond is the cutest kid in the universe though.  I also saw Jet Lag with Juliette Binoche.  I was watching the outtakes, and what I appreciate most about actors is when they're willing to laugh at themselves.  It's also just so great when you can tell they're just in a giddy mood and can't keep a straight face.  I really like people that laugh, apparently!  Anyway, Juliette Binoche was laughing a lot, so I really enjoyed the outtakes.  The actual movie, not so much.  I almost think it's what Lost in Translation might be in France.  Only I haven't seen Lost in Translation, so what do I really know!  Ahahaha.  At least I'm admitting I don't know anything.  I also saw School of Rock with Jack Black.  It was an okay movie, but Jack Black/his character just bothers the heck outta me.  He really does seem like a lazy, obnoxious fellow.  What is neat though, is that he knows all these clapping games and played with the kids.  Awesome.  :) 

This week of camp was slightly rough.  I had the 8-10 year olds who are definitely slightly harder to deal with than the youngsters.  More attitude and whining.  More talking back.  Worst of all is how they ask every 5 minutes whether they're done their work or not.  Ahahahaha.  "Am I done yet?"  Our response is always, "No, keep working on it."  Without fail, every camper always thinks they're done/wants to be done before they actually are.  The other counsellors and instructors and I were joking that we should put "No, you are NOT done yet" on a T-shirt and make it our staff uniform.  That way we won't actually have to tell them.

Tomorrow, I'm teaching a Sunday school lesson on helping others.  The lesson outline is sooooooooooo boring for this lesson.  I decided that instead of colouring a boring picture, we should make those gift coupons where you put something you'll do for the person.  You know, like, "This coupon is good for one __________".  Yeah, I figured we can brainstorm ways to help people, and they'll actually end up doing it when people turn in their coupons.  Yay!  I hate teaching boring lessons, so I hope this will be fun!
