Ok so today went pretty well. I walked to Renee's house (our ride) with Pete and Damon. I was kinda nervous this morning about the french and what I'd do etc. Overall it was easy and I think that I really connected with some kids. I was in the younger group but not with the baby's. We played and I read to them (in french..its sooo cute hearing these little kids speaking french) and I get to have snacks. I get two snacks (morning and afternoon) and lunch plus a half hour break. The only time I didn't really know what to do was when the kids were napping. Once they were asleep (we rub their bellies and backs.. adorable) Helen told me I could take my break and do my chores that Renee told me to do earlier. Well getting the mail took like two minutes and I swept the outside area in about ten. After that I spent some time weeding (yes mom I know I hate weeding at home but it's not bad when it's part of your job) and I went outside and the older kids were waking up from their nap. This one little kid named Felix is so smart and helped me learn some new words. We played charades with a bunch of them and eventually it was time to go and see my original group. Pete and Damon came shortly after and we went home.
Overall it was a pretty good day. There was some drama with dinner because Christine (a katimavik workshop leader) came and we were just starting to cook. For some reason I get kinda stressed in those situations when everyone's cooking and trying to get things done and others are just not into it you know? So I was kinda cranky (plus Pete woke me up from my nap) and kinda snapping on people telling them to be more mature. Sorry for being cranky guys.
Last night with the gang at the bar was pretty fun but I've noticed that I haven't really been my bubbly self on this trip. I've had some good times don't get me wrong. But I don't feel that ever occurring happiness that I usually feel. Hopefully this passes quickly but maybe being quiet for once will be a good thing.
