I had brought my computer today to take pictures to post on this blog but when I took it out of my bag I was dismayed to find that it had run out of battery on the way over (it does that sometimes). So I put it on the side to charge and sat in on the Word of the Day while Calvin, who had come today and would come to help me the rest of the week, filmed.
After the word or the day, or the words of the day as we now seem to have 2, determined and advocate, we went on to help the kids start writing their short stories. I had no idea where that came from, so I just went with the flow and helped Brian, the brilliant writer kid, who seemed to be partnerless. He was obviously planning a novel and not a short story by the look of it, just like I used to do in elementary school (He's not in elementary school, I'm just saying that because I left the american system in 5th grade). I just hope he finishes it, unlike me. So after we had planned out chapter one, which took up a whole sheet of paper, he went on to start writing it. After the amazing story writing, we had snack break, which was amazing little gummy snacks and cool-aid juice box thingys. I also took pictures with my now charged computer during that time. That's me above. Here are some of the pictures the kids took when they were fooling around with photobooth:
So we had a lot of fun with that until Olivia came and shut us down! Ok she isn't that bad but we had to start class. So we had a bible story and I took over the camera, which is obviously... boring, to you. NOT the bible story, the filming. Yaaaa, you knew that. Anyways, we finished early, and then started our cheer, which had CHANGED! Yes somehow they had gotten a new cheer which I must admit wasn't that bad, but of course could have been better, and replaced mine. we voted of course, but only me and my trusty disciple, Brian, voted for daft punk. Psh, girls. So we practiced their extremely wordy cheer which was a struggle for even me as a native speaker to recite, and by the end of practice I was sure everyone was very tongue-twisted. Someone needs syllable training.
Anyways our time ran out and we went down to perform our cheer, and it turned out that neither Sarah, or her sister Rachel actual did the cheer, but rather it was mainly me shouting it. I'm too tired now to try and remember it all (it was reeeeeallly long).
With a great sigh of relief I was finally set free and I helped Calvin pack up before I headed upstairs for dinner. I tried to take some pictures of Sarah for the blog, but as you can tell, she is totally photogenic. So then I spent the rest of the time teasing Sarah and being teased by the new cameraman, Stan, who I wasn't sure if i was ready to go at with my comebacks yet. It was pretty fun, but eventually I was somehow excluded from the conversations, Sarah and Olivia talking some kind of girl dialect, while Calvin and Stan were going over documenting stuff. So I turned to my computer, and it's infinite attention span that lasted as long as the battery was not depleted, and started cracking at my story. Yes I'm writing a book, you can contact me if you want a copy. So anyways, after a few minutes of writing, Calvin called me back to pray, which we did, and then Sarah asked to see my Ipod, during which she took her chance to diss all of the music I had that she didn't like. Juan, my good friend, happened to be passing by and took his chance to throw in some cutting comebacks, as he is a major music jock (don't mess with Juan when it comes to music!). So we ended with an uneasy truce as I left with Calvin, Juan, and his brother, Emilio for home. Blogged with the Flock Browser
