FIRST Place, a place of solitude, and stress
So here I am, my third week at FIRST Place, and I'm already feeling pretty burned out, though that could just be because I was up like really late last night. We have a few interesting campers, David: 12 years old, has asburgers syndrom, and and interest in martial arts... he's really very smart, just can't get along with anyone else very easily... challenged some girl to kung-fu horse dance for 5 whole minutes... lol.
I dunno.... I've been doing a lot with friends... no, no, not the usual people... but like... new friends... they all go to public school, Merrimack High, Central etc. and I'm getting along with most of them pretty well... it's pretty crazy, 'cause I've never gotten this much socialness before. This past week was almost too crazy.
There's was this new girl, from New Jersey... she was cool, and then I found out that she was Dean Kamen's niece. I got along with her pretty well... I also met this kid, Bryce. He's my age, and he's really funny... like the way he comes up behind you, puts his arm around you, and ask you this classic question "so like, you're a fatty now, right?" It's soooo funny....
Wednesday, we all went to Ben and Jerry's on Elm street.. in Manchester, for all who don't know. Their icecream is the best! I got a big cone, and like I couldn't eat the whole thing, they give you so much, not to mention that it was almost 5 bucks. It was crazy. Then Friday, I went to Bekkah and Racheal Poulin's b-day party and like that was fun... got there over an hour late, and then Julia, whom I work with at camp came to pick me up there, and then we went to this other party. At the Poulin's house, we played volley ball with blankets, and then had a massive water balloon fight, where I discovered that everyone else at the party had been plotting to get me with water balloons since the beginning of the party. It was pretty crazy...
I guess I should say this before I forget again. I got my license on Wednesday, and the pictures actually not half bad! I'm very happy about getting this, but I need to get my insurance worked out before I can actually drive. Someone was selling this Cammarro in my town and my mom said that I could get it if I got another job! Unfortunately, for once, my dad said that I wouldn't be allowed to get it, 'cause like I would probably kill myself in it. I almost agreed with him on this one... oh well.... I guess I'll go for a Honda Civic like Jarin's, but it'll be like automatic, not stupid stick shift.
*sigh
Crazy week, and friday night/saturday morning, I didn't get home 'till 1am... got up at 12:20pm, and then went down to the church and me and Megan put snowflakes up in the younger youth room... it was lots of fun... tonight liek the Hagler's and Megan and Lauren are coming over to have dinner and hang out. It'll be fun, and I'll post pics later.
Y'all prolly tht I was dead, huh?
My life's gotten very busy recently. For all of those that didn't or don't know, although you will now, I'm working at FIRST Place. I'm having a good time there, getting paid and all, and because I'm there five days a week, I'm going to start posting at least once a day, if not more, mostly because Zeke wants me to (please note: Zeke has too much time on his hands. ;-)) Anyway, this past weekend started with an educational time at the Louden Speedway. We "the magnicifent cleaners" got "rewarded" got to watch almost a hundred laps of the awesome "sport" known as NASCAR. This is my pwn personal opinion, but I seriously don't call that a sport.
Just look how much gasoline they probably use each race... what is it, like 20,000 gallons? That's where all our natural resources are going! To those dumb races! I had to sit in near agony, (I say almost, 'cause I got to play rock paper scissors with Zeke and watch card tricks.) while those stupid loud automobiles drove aimlessly in circles, until one finally came out ahead. It could've been marginally more exciting if the accidents and crashes happened near to where we were sitting... fortunately, somebody was smart enough to bring along earplugs... you know, those little yellow squishy things that you stuff into your ear as hard as you can?
So anyway, finally got to clean the bleachers, which I gotta say was a lot more fun then getting my ears blown off by noisy vehicles. It was almost fun. Zeke and I were competing to see who could get what types of awesome trash... I think I won. My trash bag was 200% larger, I'm sure. After we were finished at the speedway I got a partial ride home from Concord with the Gable's. We stopped at Wendy's and got some awesome food... chicken tenders and french fries! Life without fried food = unthinkable. After that, they drove me to the old church/AGAPE, now a childcare center, and my mom picked me up there. I had a really good time talking to Zeke, Abi, and of 'course, their 'rents!
On Saturday, I (nnnnnngh) had to get up at like 9am. We finally got out of the house at like 11:30 and got down to MA at around 1:30 or so. I have friends down there, and they were doing a rendition of Love's Labour's Lost... I think that's the name. Anyway, it was really funny, and while I was there, I got to climb these awesome really old trees they had at the park. (The play was played outdoors.) We stayed overnight at my friends house, and then ate pancakes, met some of their reletives who came over, swam and then returned to NH, but not home.
My brother had a movie scheduled with friends, and I was nominated (by my lovely mother) to chaperone for him. In other words (my words) I sat in the back of the theater and had nothing to do with him. After that, we went fan shopping and pick up this awesome fan with a neon light... blue of course. Finally we got back home, and it's like really really humid and hot, and I'm tired... but I had a good time and that's what counts...
Post y'all later!
I've been so busy lately... it's crazy. That, and the fact that I'm not exactly supposed to have this contribute to the lack of postage here... Sorry all you people who are bored and want to hear more about my life. At least you're interested. I'll post more later
