so long ago.

i have no idea how long it has been but it feels like two seconds ago since i last blogged. i just got back from english camp. it was amazing! we had so much fun...the kids were great. coming back to the bode though....i have literally never in my life been so excited. i was extatic and proceeded to very loudly hug anyone and anything in sight. it felt like i was coming home to old family and friends.

well if there is one thing german kids do know, it is english swear words. they learn english from the great american films such as american pie and proceed to use these words frequently. the sweetest little kid would mess sonething up and say oh $#!7. it was terribly comical. being one of five guys left to look after nearly fifty boys, i had my work cut out for me. every night we were told t crack bones to get the kids in bed. this proved to be an enormously satisfiyng power rush. bellowing at a cowering rule breaker as they quell before your might leaves one feeling quite authoritative. however, the smell of prepubescent boy was so powerful on the hall we had to breathe through our mouths as we waked down the hall. and unfortunately the germans do not stress deoderant but rather stress axe body spray which does nothing but choke all living things in a one meter radius.

the girls stayed in the conference center part and had down comforters and soft beds and walk in closets. since there were so few guys, we stayed on the top floor in a room where the roof slanted to about four feet. we slept on bunk beds made for kittens andi crakced my head on the nightstand every time i rolled over.  but the overall experience was great. we taught all the boys to say git´r done and shake n bake. they taught us swears.

never in my life have i made such a fool of my self deliberately so many times in a row. i invented a dance called the spaztik ragdoll which they got a video of.  i kind of miss the kids but being here is too amazing.

travel weekend is thursday and me and Robin are in charge of cooking for the hut so i have a busy week preparing that. so much more to report but frankly i am exhausted and want to go hug more people so goodbye.
