Summer so far

Uhm....

Whoosh.

It's been a while, I told myself I wouldn't completely give up on writing this thing.

But then I kinda did.

It is currently 12:55am on June 20th.

Quite a few things have changed since my last blog post.

I now drive a 2004 Nissan Sentra.

I'm no longer in High School.

I'm single.

I'm working, kind of a lot.

I now own a laptop!

Yup, for those of you who don't know, I recently acquired a 2004 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V.

We got it for 4500, about half the the blue book value, due to the fact that it has a branded title (salvage). A tree fell on the rear window, destroying much of the body. The suspension and frame where unharmed, and the damaged body replaced.

Basically I got a hella nice car for hella cheap. It has a short ram intake, headers, and nice exhaust, putting me at around 200hp.

Downside? 23mpg. Coming from the Hyundai getting nearly 35, this is taking a toll on my wallet. But it's worth it to piss off my pissy neighbors with a punch to the throttle as I drive by with Imma Be shaking the entire vehicle.

It's nice to give in to the teenager stereotype occasionally.

Next up, graduation.

It went by fast, but it was cool. Uhm.... Yea, I almost effed up my walk because I'm a spaz, but I think it turned out alright.

Siara and I are no longer a thing, but we're buds and whatnot. So it's all good.

I worked about 32 hours this week between my two jobs, and next week I'll put in about 44. I'll be working 8:30 to 5:30 every day, putting in two hours at the office on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Work has been going well, and I'm actually enjoying myself. I work at the Racquet club as a Kid's Camp Staff. Basically, this means I ensure children don't light anything on fire while their parents are at work. So far, I have been successful.

Story time!

Last year: My first day working summer camp, I have no clue what the hell I'm doing. I get yelled at by a coworker whose name I didn't even know yet to take the boys to change out of their swimsuits.

I'm like, yea I can handle this... Kids can handle changing their clothes right?

All is going well, until I hear a scream "I NEED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM"

I walk to the room the cry came from, and told the child (who we will call Isaac for now) to hurry up and change, then he can use the restroom.

But no, he has to go now. I assume he is in his swimsuit, and tell him he can go.

He walks out, completely unclothed, giant grin on his face.

I look around dumbfounded, spot a towel, tell him to wrap it around himself, and go to the bathroom down the hall (out of the changing room, in the hallway of the club.)

He says okay, and takes off running.... the towel is on the ground after about 3 steps.

So now there is a 4 year old boy streaking through CBRC, giant grin on his face, with red faced me chasing him down with a towel.

He runs clear past the bathroom and is about to climb the stairs when I catch up and escort him to the girls bathroom (which is all that was available.)

I leave him in the bathroom, and after about two minutes ask if he is done, and got no response except for a lot of giggling. I open the door, and he is frolicking about singing something that I couldn't decipher.

I facepalm.

I run back, get his clothes, return, and find him doing the same thing.

It was then I got my game face on, and turned on Mr. Angry Voice.

"Isaac, you have five seconds to get your clothes on or you'll be in time out."

He pauses.

He looks me straight in the eye.

He grins his 4 year old grin.

He says without blinking: "What the fuck?"

My brain ceases to function.

I don't know whether to laugh, yell, or pretend I didn't hear anything.

I chose option 3 for the time being, and started counting down from 5.

He repeats his former statement, and I have no clue what to do.

I exit the bathroom and let Danny handle the situation, as I am too blown away to do anything else.

Thinking that things couldn't get more complicated, I walk back into the main room.

Everything appears normal, until I hear a girl's scream and turn my head to see a young asian boy fumbling about with a pair of underwear... Completely unclothed as well.

That pretty much sums up my experience from last year.

My top 2 favorite experiences from this summer, so far:

We have all 70 children in one room, along with 8 staff.

The kids are all talking about being loud, so Josh puts on his angry face and yells

IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE LOUD.....Well, don't be loud.

He started strong, then just sorta failed.

Numba 2:

We are at the roll arena. Jessica is telling a group of kids to clean up their mess, and yells

"I'm going to count to 30, this mess had better be cleaned up by then."

Two seconds pass, kids haven't moved, she starts counting down from 10.

The kids (and myself) look around a bit confused, and wonder how good her math skills are.

Oh wait, I have a third.

Me (sean) and Josh work together.

Two regular kids we get brothers named Shawn and Josh.

One day, Shawn and Josh's dad came to pick them up.

Teresa (the manger) walks in and announces: "Shawn, Josh, your dad is here."

I look at tall Josh, and excitedly yell "Josh! Dad is here!"

And little Shawn and Josh get real confused.

So yea, it's dandy so far.

I'm typing this all on my HP netbook.

I decided that since I'm bringing my Desktop to college, spending a ton of money on a legit laptop wouldn't really make sense. So I put a little more than 300 toward this bad boy.

Who knows, this could be my last blog for a bit. Or I could make it a regular thing....Who knows.
