So I kind of fail miserably at doing things. My room is halfway clean but nowhere near finished and my costume is still a long way off (I really need to go to the fabric store).
I have done my two days of before Christmas camp and they were great. I got paired with a little girl with autism but really unless you knew the signs of autism you wouldn't be able to tell. She was lovely. And we had fun together. And on the second day I got paired with a little boy with an I.I. And ya'll should be jealous because he is the coolest kid ever!(Do I say that about all my buddies and all the kids on camp, well they all are!!! And top points go to one little boy who told me he always gets girl first time leaders as buddies, he was adorable!). I've met him on camp before and figured it was only a matter of time before we got to be buddies and heck yes, jealous you should be.
When you're on camp you don't really think of the label that your buddy...has been labeled with ADHD, ODD, CD, ASD, I.I, Bipolar. They are just kids. But afterwards and a little before you can't help but think that you have mad skillz, and skills that actually make a difference in the world. And you kind of feel good.
My little clique also were horrible, horrible, anti-social people during the two days. It's kind of funny because we make up quite a few of the leadership teams in January. And I know, I know, I know, it's horrible and we should have made more of an effort to socialise with the new leaders because well, there is enough politics without us adding any more.
I remember having a three people dance party in the conference room, while our debrief set up debrief. Geeking out about Darren Criss for a large majority of camps. Playing chase the balloon while the glee rocky horror soundtrack played. Never getting to the end of 'Back to Hogwarts' ever. And playing 'Harry Freaking Potter' while on a trip to Maccas.
I must learn patience with all people. Just saying.
Until next time
Katherine
