only 9 batches of cornbread to bake tomorrow...my last day of work. officially, but they've asked me to work next tuesday for a ropes course group. need the money...how can you not on $200 a week?...i leave wednesday for southern california, on a plane, for my sister's graduation. won't be driving home until the end of june, so figured i could work one more day. can't believe another season is almost over. won't be coming back - i love the job, but i am ready to move on. who knows where i'll adventure to next? there's something very delicious about knowing so many opportunities are out there...

teaching pioneer yesterday, i was explaining the log house. i pointed out that the foundation was made of stones, so there weren't just logs on the ground. i asked the kids why. a little girl raised her hand eagerly.

'well, you wouldn't want your house to roll away...'

gotta love their perpecitive. i will really miss working with the kids. it is such a rewarding experience. i love it. to know they are learning, but having fun doing it. wonder where i'll work next...but i think i will definitely look to work a similar job. impractial? yes. but so worth it.
