goodness. time has certainly been flying by lately. the past two weeks have been one long and tiresome adventure. two weeks ago, we received about 2 feet of snow on the eve of spring. not exactly what i wanted...but my field group tackled the addition to our rough terrain well. they loved breaking trail (tromping through the snow to create a path) and had a lot of fun with our classes. i loved being out in the snow with the bright southern california sunshine beating down. pretty darn delightful.
i went contra dancing in an old barn that friday with some coworkers and was stunned at the beauty of that area. the barn is nestled in a countryside of orchards and small farms. not something i expected just off the hills of the mountains.
soon after i returned from dancing, however, i was hit with the stomach plague that had started to pillage children and staff earlier that week. after winning a gold medal in the puke olympics (puking every 2 hours throughout the night and then after trying to rehydrate and eat, puking it all out along with bile. gross.) i managed to recuperate and get my taxes completely done (yay!).
this week i worked a double shift, meaning i had a cabin group and a field group. all in all, my week was awesome. along with mountains often being unpredictable, we talk a lot at high trails about kids being unpredictable. i had a student with asberger's syndrome (similar to mild autism), which i wasn't entirely sure how to handle. he ended up being great and only had a meltdown on the final class of the final day.
now i'm on spring break. off to explore new places and try cooking new foods (the focus of my april entries).
