"Learning never exhausts the mind." -Leonardo da Vinci
I have learned several new things in the past two days. I have to admit that I was beginning to wonder if my summer would consist of watching the other staff and playing cards with the boys. I know as summer staff we are somewhat limited in what we can do, but geez I was starting to think that I could have learned more about myself by staying in Alabama rather than coming up to Memphis.
1.) I learned how to put in phone call notes on the computer. A simple task that made my night to be entrusted with.
2.) Boys are gross. I guess this wasn't a new concept but I definitely got a refresher on just how disgusting boys can be. I have three brothers and a boyfriend who all think that burping and farting are just things that happen and find it funny to do to get a reaction from each other or the females in the room, such as myself or my mother. Unlike the boys on my courtyard though, my male family members know when it is acceptable and unacceptable to pass bodily gases. They wouldn't do it outside of the comfort of their own homes or in front of complete strangers. Nevertheless, I have come to the conclusion that boys are gross and smelly and that will never change.
3.) I was put in charge of leading a life skill today!! We have been a little short staffed and I guess my program manager trusted me enough to lead today's life skill on excuses. I would say that it went pretty well. I was able to involve everyone in the group by either asking them for examples or getting them to read something from their worksheets. I have to admit that I'm pretty proud of myself.
