Not saying that today was bad or anything. It was just long! It felt like time was moving slower than usual.
All the teachers were completely new. The art guy, I dunno about him. I like him though. He's the type of person with artistic talent that is A) not completely oblivious that they have artistic talent (meaning they can't help you get what they got) and B) not the kind of person to rub it in that you have no artistic talent. He's the type of guy to help you get some talent. He'll say, "That's beautiful, but here's what you need to do to make it better." or "I like the idea, but here's what you can do to make it pop." Yeah, he told me about how my little brooch thingamabob could use a pop of color and how to rub in the Micah powder. His advice really helped out, and then after I showed it to him again his smile (and obvious happiness) was just awesome. I know I shouldn't really be making anything, since I'm a counselor, but it was fun to do what the kids were doing.
Drama, er, is not my thing. At least the little drama exercises aren't my thing. To think I wanted to do drama at school! Maybe it was the teacher, I'm not sure, but I just felt totally uncomfortable. And I was with the little kid group! I just couldn't loosen up. But then again this was the first day. Maybe I'll be a little looser tomorrow.
Then at snack time one kid, Collin from last year, sat off in the corner because everybody hated him. So he says. I spent all of snack time trying to get him to interact with the other kids and not sit in the corner the whole time. He was the same way last year! God, I spent all of art time once trying to convince him to build a house from construction paper...He's so emo. And only 11 too...Poor guy.
