Wow, what an exhasting and fun time. I'm teaching middle school students. We have three 90 minute classes each day plus a two hour activity. Last week we took a hike in the freezing cold. It was deathly cold for a California girl. Camp is going great as far as the students and teaching is concerned. It sure is lacking in organization. On Monday I was rudely welcomed back to Korean culture with a last minute "hey Julene, you are leading and creating the scavenger hunt...tonight". It sure didn't take long to be slapped in the face by a cuture that is so different from my own. I'm dealing but not always very gracefully. So much of what I've helped out with has been last minute. It has turned out really well but, if only we had known, it could have been so much better for the kids. I think the kids are learing a lot and having fun while doing it. And I guess I too am learning and having fun.
