I learned a new word today - Sice (or cise): (v.) to over exaggerate or hype up; used in DC slang. I'm going to try to incorporate it into my regular vocabulary. Until, of course, I am still using it and realize that no one else is.
All the campers left on trips today. Almost immediately after they left we had a morning happy hour by the pool. Such pleasant weather we're having. And of course a sip of alcohol (especially at this elevation) is wonderful. I also got a jar of home-made rhubarb and strawberry jam. Our cook is pretty great.
When I went into to town to buy some supplies, I also stopped for some home-made chocolate cabernet saviougn ice cream. I ate it in the grass in the town square. Cowboy count: 14
I used the rest of mom's cookies (yay care package!) to 'bribe' the JETs at the beginning of our workshop today. I think they actually learned something! I hope it was to do with my teaching, not the cookies, but I can't be sure. I'm really excited to have the new JETs coordinator here. He teaches a leadership class at SEED (and is a Life Skills Counselor). I think its a great fit and I hope I can learn some things from him.
Then we took a trip to Hoback Market which is only about 4 mi. away and they were so excited that I was willing to take them when they asked. Those boys love eating. As do I, apparently, as this is the 4th paragraph where I've mentioned food. Anyway, if a 30 min trip to get snacks is all it takes for them to like me, I'm on board.
I'm exhausted.
