Work Hard, Play Hard

Hey Guys.!

Today was pretty okay.! I had tons of fun with the kids. I think they're starting to warm up to us now. :) We took them to the park and played capture the flag again, they love that game so much. Although most of the day was filled with merryment we did have a couple of injuries to take care of.! There were boomerangs thrown and little kids falling off jungle gyms.! You could say today was hectic but im sure that would be a understatement. Im absolutely beat.! But every second was worth it because I believe we all had fun in the end. I think a perfect ending to a okay-not-really-awesome-sort-of-day was when we celebrated one of our kids birthdays, he brought cupcakes and ice cream for all of us (counselors included).

Yesterday as routine goes, we had another one of our Traning Sessions. Yesterday's session was especially fun because it was when we started our own little busnissess. Our company's product is something/anything made out of beads and twine, yesterday was the day we made our prototype. Everyone in the whole program (morning shift vs. afternoon shift, inner-morning shift groups vs. themselves, inner-afternoon shif groups vs. themselves) is competing against each other and whoever comes out with the most profit wins.! I hope my team wins! We created a very "valuble" necklace. Im extremely excited to see everyone elses designs and what creative products emerge.

OH.! I almost forgot one of the greatest highlights of my week was. On wednesday I went to the bank (Chase) and opened a checking account. Those workshops with the representative from Bank Of Ann Arbor sure paid off! I actually understood everything she was saying.! Im extremely excited, I feel all grown up and responsible. Hopefully on saturday I get my debit card and once that comes in the mail: BRIARWOOD HERE I COME.! Of course I will keep a fair amount of money in my account at all times to avoid overdraft fees but theres nothing wrong with spending some cash, as long as I do it wisely and perfectly aware of the consequences. But I believe I am ready to take on that challenge. :)

Well, thats all for now. Keep reading, more to come.! :)
