Anyway, it was HAILING there and freezing. I remember being able to wear shorts and tank tops at the start of May back in Texas...I do miss that!!
View from my flight home yesterday:
GIRL SCOUTING IN THE SCHOOL DAY: The girls at my school are getting ready for the MSP (similar to TAKS) Tests. The 7th graders have 5 days of testing and the 6th and 8th graders have 3 - ICK! My class will only meet 3 times that week, and I'm not even going to try to teach - classes resume after a morning of testing, so I know they'll all be zombies by the end of the day....
I've been put in charge of planning Girl Scout Night with the Seattle Storm (Women's Basketball), so the new role is keeping me pretty busy, but it's fun!
GIRL SCOUT TROOP: We had a troop meeting on Monday and the girls worked to earn their Science Sleuth badge. I set up stations and the girls rotate through the stations. By the end of the meeting, they've completed 6 stations and finished the badge. This badge was fun to plan for - they had a "Crystal-Making Station," "Water Glass Musical Instruments Station," "Paper Test Lab," "Fingerprinting Lab," "Ice Cream Making Lab," and "Simple Machines Station."
STARBUCKS: I've been working more regularly with two opening shifts and a weekend shift every week. The opening shift is fun, but ask me that when my alarm goes off at 3:15a.m. and I feel differently. By the time I get there and things get busy, it gets more fun, though. Have you tried the new frappuccinos? They're going to be a huge success, because they're completely customizable. You can get a frapp with soy, non-fat, etc....coffee/no coffee... you name it, we can make it! And, along with the launch there'll be a FRAPP HAPPY HOUR every day when you can save on any style/any size frappuccino!!! YUM
YMCA: What, I've never mentioned the YMCA before....well, I interviewed for a new position at the YMCA last week, and was offered a job. I wasn't offered the original position I interviewed for, but one BETTER!! :) I'm really excited. The position is a supervisor of Before/After-School Care at an Elementary School during the school year and Day Camp Director during the summer - WOOOO!!!! I want to finish out my semester with my girls at Aki, so hopefully I can work something out with Girl Scouts. The YMCA was totally willing to work with me when I asked to be able to finish my time with my girls. I'd really hate to ditch out on them with only 8 weeks left of school....We'll see!!
