Day 8: June 21, 2011 Work, Crafts, and Kittens. Oh My!

Today was much like yesterday. I was able to work for 8.5 hours! I subbed in Wood Working, and cleaned/organized the office. The office was a serious mess. We had over a hundred feet of sheet cork, some of which was lying on the ground, some of which was in a box standing up. Either way it was completely taking over the office and was blocking it so badly that I couldn't even turn the office chair around or open the cabinets. Yeah. So I chopped the cork into large squares, found homes for all the supplies, labeled everything etc. Also, I got to play lead counselor one last time! The 1-3 grades in extended care came to the craft center today. But there was nothing planned for them to do. Luckily, in my many years of experience I was able to pull two crafts out of thin air. First I had them do oil pastel drawings, the second they made cork boards from the cork I had just cut up. When they left I watched as they paraded by and their cork boards were extraordinarily cute! By the end of the day I was sick-exhausted and I wasn't able to go to see X-men with my friends as planned. But after some food, water, and a nap I was feeling a lot better and I was able to hang out with my friend Erika. She was just accepted into the same teacher preparation program as I am in, so we will have classes together and graduate together! She also is fostering very adorable young kittens  who are soooooo playful. It is so cute when they wrestle and stuff! Meow!
