Christmas in July

I finally got my camera usb connector that I ordered from Hong Kong for five dollars!! So I will now be able to post pictures :) I ordered the cord off of Amazon and got free shipping. I was very proud of myself. The big news of the week: I GOT A JOB!!!!!!! I applied for a TA position for Physical Science. I was competing against 21 other people and did a phone interview because I wasn't able to get down to the place where they were holding interviews. It will be a job for fall and winter semesters and I get 8.12 an hour!! I am so blessed and I can't believe it!! Now I don't have to apply for any other jobs. I will be working somewhere around 20 hours a week. It's going to be crazy but it will be so nice to be putting my own money towards college. The group we had this week was great. There were 36 kids total. There were SO many kids. But I loved all of them. However .... I did have some interesting experiences including hitting a boy in the face and giving him a bloody nose. But let me explain. We were playing parachute games and I was under the parachute..I was the shark and was supposed to pull people under. You can only see the feet of everyone playing because they are on the other side of the parachute. I went to grab someone and on the way to grab them I hit their face on accident. I didn't think I hit him very hard and thought he was more startled than anything...when his nose started gushing. I felt so bad!! But it stopped bleeding quickly and he was fine. Quite the experience. The kids were also trying to set my co counselor and I up. I'm surprised it hasn't really occurred to other groups. One of the boys asked Brandon if he was single and he said yes. Then he asked me and I said yes. Then he said well you're both lonely so.....Yup my kids are great haha. Then at the dance when all of the parents were dancing they had us dance with each other and we had an audience of 12 of the kids watching us and applauding. We also had Christmas in July this week which was so much fun!! We got to ride the little train which was the "Polar Express" to the dining hall. Then we did a present exchange and took family photos.

This is a picture of the roommates and I :) They are the best. I can't believe the summer is more than half over! It is going so fast.
