Finally, A Break
I don't have work this week because of the long weekend. I'm looking forward to sleeping in every single day.

I can't believe I'm burned out already. I work like 20-25 hours a week and I've only been working for 2 weeks. When I signed up, I thought it would be a cinch and a pretty relaxing job-- I never thought it would be so exhausting. Babysitting kids and trying not to lose any Lego pieces in the process is hard work, man. At least the kids seem to like me. Some are better than others, though.

What I find the funniest thing is in the morning, the parents can't wait to drop their kids off. And then when they come back to pick them up, they look so relaxed and upbeat, like they just went to a 3 hour spa treatment. Hahaha.

I've only got 2 more weeks of work. Thank goodness because I don't think I can keep doing this. And there's always one day in the week, usually near the end of the camp, where the kids just start fighting and bickering. I don't know what causes it. Then I have to take the middle ground and play referee. It's a lot harder than it sounds because you literally have to please everybody.

I think that kids are dumber nowadays compared to when we were growing up. These kids going into Gr. 3 or 4 can barely write a full sentence without asking me how to spell "gear" or "second" or "people". What the hell? Dude, I remember writing 3 sentence paragraphs in Gr. 3 in response to the short stories in those crazy readers.

Summer's almost over. After the book shopping, the onslaught will begin.
