So yesterday was a pretty awesome day at Granville Island. More then what I expected and populated to the max thanks to this national holiday. Food. Other then Asia I think Granville Island is known for food. Mmmm. Wish you were there eh? Canadians do say 'ey' or 'hey' a lot, now that one of my fellow American interns mention it. I guess they say 'huh' a lot.
Today was the third day of camp and we had another trip day to an outdoor pool. It was fun until we got cold and one of my group's girls was shaking like crazy. But other then that camp has been pretty smooth, lots of responsibility to watch over the kids, but relaxing since we've only had one full day of camp so far due to all these trip days. Tommorrow will be the second full day and I really pray it won't be as rush as the Monday earlier. I hope the kids will work with me more, the younger ones are really great and remember my name! SARAH! They like taking pictures and just doing anything we choose to do. The older kids tend to be in their pre-puberty stage hence their more disobedient, give attitude, talk DIRTY!?!!?? (what has the world come to?-the media is TERRIBLE these days) and are quite rowdy. What can you do, I guess I may have been like that when I was their age but I thought I was a pretty good kid for my leaders, I use to get so attach to my leaders too, it was like so sweet to have someone there for you and do nice things and now its my turn.
I have my eye on a pair of siblings for "Bible Buddies", a part of the day once a week where an intern would choose 2-3 kids to spend more time with after camp for about an hour and usually we can play favorites and pick those whom we see more potential or extra room for growth or even to spread the word. I'm excited for that and I know they'll enjoy the time going to get junk food and chilling. If they know what 'chilling' means. So young, so naive, so little, I can't imagine me being little back then- I always thought I was bigger, oh the mind of a child, but then ironically I was always one of the shortest ones in elemenatary classes although my 'big kid' thoughts.
So tomorrow is Friday, one week since I've arrive Vancouver. One week down? Possibly. It sounds cool to just say that but it really has been fun learning independence. Most of the other interns have had the opportunity to go through dorm life or live with some friends but for Adoria and I its cool to sit back and have a chore, laundry, or cooking schedule and its different. Very different. Were all grown up.
"I'm a BIG kid now."
