But Always Flexible!

Hello hello!

It's been a long couple of days, but I have a million reasons for not writing anything.  Senior High ended with a bang, and I can answer any messages sent my way about it if you'd like to know more about how it went, but for now I don't have the time or energy to write about anything but relevant information.  I have 15 minutes at the moment to say as much as I possibly can.  Hopefully after my math test tomorrow I can write more.

So far this week I have 3-4 separate jobs that I am trying to take care of this week.  I am craft room facilitator, which is what it says on my contract, and that involves keeping the craft room functional and to take care of all crafts.  It's a full time job in itself.  Junior campers are not known for their responsibility, and having 20 in the space of one hour is hard to keep track of. I have also been taking care of the kiln and clay this week, though you can possibly wrap that up with the facilitator job.  The clay has to be set on fans to make sure it reaches the bone-dry stage, and then fired in the kiln at 3 different levels, hours apart.  I almost forgot to change it up to medium during supper and ran over to the building to make sure I did it.  A new job that I've had since Tuesday is the job of Media.  I've been taking pictures for the camp website for the last couple of days, and it gives me a lot more respect for the camera man, Andy Ott.  It's not the easiest job to walk around to all of the camp areas and try to get good photos.  Wacky Water Wednesday was REALLY hot, and to take pictures at that all day long in the 90 + degree heat, it's not exactly the life of luxury.  I got a bit of a tan though, and almost 400 pictures.  I'm hoping to get some of those photos for my artwork, cause there were some great ones.  Sue's camera is SO great :D! My 4th job is mouse catcher extraordinare! My traps, which were a gift from God, truly, have caught 5 mice in the last 3 days, 4 in my living quarters, 2 at the foot of my bed.  It's been a long week.  

Something great happened for the craft room at the beginning of the week, and I want to tell all about it, but at the moment I need to go to bed.  The staff is all coming down with all sorts of sickness, myself included, so major prayer would be helpful.

Contract: Craft Room Facilitator... but always flexible! (Oh memories from Summer 2010...)

  1. "...it gives me a lot more respect for the camera man, Andy Ott. It's not the easiest job to walk around to all of the camp areas and try to get good photos." - And yet no one really understood how it was for me, a professional photographer, trying to get the perfect image.
