Catching up with Y'all!

Well, The summer is almost finished. We have now finished all the week long programs, and we are too the weekend programs again!! But its a extented weekend program. This week we are having a program run by Van Gilmer, who is a Bahai singer, and its a choral program, where they have a concert on the last night, so thats exciting! And Ciara, my roomie is trying to see if she can get a shift this week so she can participate! Which is so cool!

The last week here was really good! We had a former member of the Universal House of Justice, Mr Grossman (the Universal House of Justice, is kind of the Head of the Bahai faith, We have an administrative side to the faith, where is runs from local community's to national and then to world wide. And its not to tell us how we should read the writing or to control us, its just so we have a guide to help us in times of hardship). It was my second last Children's class of the summer, but my last week long one. So i was a little sad, closing my classroom door after all the cleaning. But something really sweet happened...Well its starts like this...This week we had a really big group, 10 kids. And the first day i was sick (we had a sickness going around, and i thought i was the only one not to get it...but no) so i had the first day off and then the second day i did organizing jobs since someone was still filling in for me. So the thrid day comes, Monday and it was really hard and loud and crazy. But then after the kids went to their parents i went to chill in my classroom, waiting for my teacher to get ready for the next day. And The Teacher's (Maryann) daughter and her friend were playing in there, i let them stay while i was on my laptop. Then all of a sudden they sit down on our praying rug, and start singing 'Blessed is the Spot' (a prayer) It was so cute and sweet and really made my whole summer, and reminded me why i loved teaching these little kiddies! :)

So yeah, we had our day off today, and we all just chilled down at the Inn in our staff lounge and hung out watched movies. I went for a walk this morning which was really nice! And yeah im excited to start the winter with Ciara, Alex, Colin, Mia, Maddie, Sina, Rebekka and Sahar! :)

Thats all for now!
Goodnight folks.

Hey Y'all,

So its the end of the week, and we are all chillin in the basement of Sarah Farmer Inn (the main building here, our little hang out) watching Youtube videos, and i thought, HEY i can write in my blog!! So here i am! Ummmm, so its the 11th and a whole bunch of people here are leaving, 3 people have left already and more are leaving tomorrow. Its very sad... I even teared up. So its sad, but we are having a dance party in half an hour for the rest of the people leaving. What else, Not much, the same old...Oh im working in the Cafe next week, running it, and i got the cafe key and everything! But next week is apparently really busy so i get 2 helpers each day! So thats cool! We got a new girl today, from California and we get a new guy from Sweden soon...Hmm...
I dunno, there is not much to tell you each time haha...We are going to see Dinner with Schmucks tomorrow which should be fun. And hopefully do Slip and Slide...maybe.

Ok guys so im going now, we are gonna go hang outside, and swing and stuff!
So thats all for now. If you check out my photos on my Fb you will see more what im up to then here haha. Oh and i was in my friends Vlogg, look it up on my FB too! :)

Well, im chillin in my room having a me night, in my trackies/sweats and a baggy teeshirt! Im so sleepy!

So Gerald left last week and that was very sad, and im still getting used to it. He was one of the first people who i became really good friends with, he is my best friend and i miss him alot. Green Acre just isn't the same without him. But im dealing.
Nothing new really. Summer here is all the same every week, very repetitive. I have to say im getting sick of the summer food haha, its pretty much the same thing every week. And im looking forward to our staff meals. Im also getting really excited for summer to end, where there is less people, only weekend programs and i'll be working in the kitchen again, plus closer to winter, which im so excited for! But all the summer people will leave, and i will miss them alot! Alot of them are leaving 11th of August, so that wont be a good day. They say that its weird that all the volunteers are all friends, they usually have cliques, but its not like that at all this year, we are all really good friends and hang out every night together. I feel kinda bad cause im not down at the inn with everyone, but im so exhausted and need to sleep early. Oh yeah, so i moved in with Ciara, my closest friend here. She is from Colorado springs and we were getting new people and we thought we would move in together. So it doesn't help that we are really good friends, cause pretty much every night we stay up late talking and laughing for a few hours haha... Ill probably wake when she gets home around 11:30 and end up talking for ages.
We went to Old Orchid Beach, a 40 something minute ride from where we live, its a little tourist town, with a really nice beach and shops and a amusement park. So we went amusing in the park which was loads of fun, and hung with everyone, but i have to say it was weird without Gerald their claiming his seat in the Van and talking the whole ride there and back! hehehe

Hmm so yeah not much else that i can think of now.
So Byeeee Caoi Caoi!
