Spring break is finally here! (almost) I'm going home tomorrow and I'm so excited to see my niece!.... oh and everyone else... But Amara is definitely the star of the show! This week has been pretty uneventful. I served at a Parent Camp yesterday which involved pointing people in the right direction and then hanging out and chatting with my fellow Americorpees. It was a time waster, but I enjoy hanging out with the other people on the team so it was a good time waster. Plus we had free breakfast and lunch.
Yesterday I was at my afterschool program where I'm supposed to tutor the kids. Since Tracy left the kids have been poking there heads in and saying "Where's Ms. Tracy?" and I say "She's not here anymore" and they stare and say "....well..... I already did my homework" and then they leave. So I've been pretty bored in the afternoons. Yesterday one of the kindergarteners sat back there with me and I read her a few books and then she proceeded to talk my ear off. She told me a long drawn out story about how this girl isn't her friend and all the reasons why. Here is a snippet of her story: "... And then she said 'little girl, get your stanky butt out of my face' and I was soooo mad. So I got my whole crew together and we jumped her after school. I done slap that girl in her face." It was hard not to laugh as I tried to talk to her about how that's not how we solve our problems...
