Work Update

Someone, Mr. Michael, asked to know how work was going. I realized that I hadn't made an update about work in a while, just adventures.

Work is really good. It is so laid back. I really don't have too much that I have to do. I go in at 12:30pm three days a week and work till 9pm. The other two days I work 9-5. It's nice going in at 12:30 because I get to go work out in the mornings. However, it is a bummer not having my evenings. Anyways, back to the subject of work. In the mornings I work over at the CDC, Child Development Center, I usually just do whatever Sandra needs me to do. She also tries to teach me things that a MWR Director has to do. She taught me how to do finance receipt stuff the other day. It is very helpful considering I like the MWR and think I would like to keep working with it after graduation. In the afternoons I go over to the YC, Youth Center. There I just hang out with the kids. I also do stuff for Genevieve, the YC lead. I have several little projects I am working on right now. I also eat a lot while at the YC. We have snack everyday and of course I have to eat it, I don't want the children to feel like I don't like them because I don't eat snack with them... :) I also get to drink a lot of milk too! I drink like 3 glasses everyday at the YC because it's free. Milk is very expensive to buy here. About 6.50 a gallon. Bummer... Anyways, in the evenings I work with the Keystone Club. That is our program for teenagers here on base. We don't have very many teenagers so it's very slow. I usually get a lot of my work done during that time. Only like two or three teens come every evening. We did play guitar hero the other day, that was fun! The teens that do come are also helping me plan the Halloween Thriller I am putting on for my special project. It's nice to have the extra minds to help come up with creative ideas. It's for them so the input they give is important, I want the party to be what they want so they enjoy it more. Anywho, Keystone is kind of boring but like I said, it is a good chance to get a lot of work done for school and MWR.

Well, that's about all I have to report on work.

Today I went to Poi'pu. It was quite relaxing! I just laid on the beach listening to my iPod. The water was wonderful. Ah, the beaches here are fantastic. Poi'pu is about 30 minutes away from the base and it is a very touristy beach, lots of people there. It was funny because we walked onto the beach and picked a spot to put our stuff and there was some stuff that belonged to other people close by. We were sitting there and the people that owned that stuff by us showed up. Ha, it was people from the base. One of the kids that goes to the YC and the mom who attends the abs class with us. It was pretty cool and random.

I am crazy sore from yesterday...

Oh random bit of Hawaiian lingo. Flip flops are not called flip flops here. I told some of the kids to go put their flip flops on and they just looked at me like what the heck are you talking about. Then one of the other staff was like, oh we call them slippers. It was very random. And with the accent it sounds more like slippas. haha, slippas. :)

Aloha.
