BACKGROUND:
For my summer internship/job, I am a teacher/camp counselor at a day camp for low-income families. I teach the 5th grade. They are loud and noisy, but generally good kids, save a few. It's a tiring job, but it's interesting, and I like making a difference and seeing them improve.
On Fridays, everyone in the camp goes on a field trip.
It tends to be interesting.
warpedmind125: so what did you do today?
moonyartemisgirl: the kids had a field trip
moonyartemisgirl: to frick park
moonyartemisgirl: my god
warpedmind125: howd that go?
warpedmind125: haha
moonyartemisgirl: what a disaster
warpedmind125: lol
warpedmind125: story time!
moonyartemisgirl: OKAY
moonyartemisgirl: SO
moonyartemisgirl: we get to frick park
moonyartemisgirl: and it's a nice park
warpedmind125: lol
moonyartemisgirl: it is
moonyartemisgirl: so I check it out and watch the kids for a while
moonyartemisgirl: then one girl asks to go to the bathroom
moonyartemisgirl: so I take her, having to go myself
moonyartemisgirl: the bathroom is revolting
moonyartemisgirl: the girl's toilet is not working, apparently
moonyartemisgirl: there is only one, btw
warpedmind125: eww
moonyartemisgirl: in an open room
moonyartemisgirl: and a door that's jammed open
moonyartemisgirl: so anyone who goes to the bathroom will see you peeing
moonyartemisgirl: the toilet is near full with human waste
moonyartemisgirl: and it reeks
moonyartemisgirl: there is a port a potty
moonyartemisgirl: that has a wasps' nest inside of it
warpedmind125: ewww
moonyartemisgirl: so I tell the girl to use the men's room
moonyartemisgirl: which is less gross
moonyartemisgirl: so she does
moonyartemisgirl: and I do
moonyartemisgirl: and there is no toilet paper
moonyartemisgirl: so I have the wonderful experience of wiping myself with my hand, which does very little, and hobbling to the sink to wash it off
moonyartemisgirl: so then we go back to the park
moonyartemisgirl: about an hour later, Miss Megan informs me that the boy's toilet is overflowing all over the floor
moonyartemisgirl: and we begin to take kids into the woods with paper towels when they have to pee
warpedmind125: ew
moonyartemisgirl: yeah
moonyartemisgirl: the park also has a merry go round
moonyartemisgirl: v fun
moonyartemisgirl: only the kids keep flying off of it
moonyartemisgirl: like, several feet
warpedmind125: lol
moonyartemisgirl: because they can't fucking hold on
moonyartemisgirl: at all
moonyartemisgirl: so kids are bleeding all over the place and screaming
moonyartemisgirl: and it's a nightmare
moonyartemisgirl: so we kick them all off of it
moonyartemisgirl: and they keep sneaking back on and getting hurt
warpedmind125: god
warpedmind125: this sounds like you had a terrible day
moonyartemisgirl: all the other kids keep getting hurt in other retarded ways as well, though!
moonyartemisgirl: for example
moonyartemisgirl: jumping off the top of the playground equipment and landing on their back in the wood chips
moonyartemisgirl: trying to slide to third base on pavement
moonyartemisgirl: trying to do a head stand on a rock and slipping
moonyartemisgirl: etc etc etc
moonyartemisgirl: I dealt with so many crying kids
moonyartemisgirl: it was unbelievable
moonyartemisgirl: so THEN
moonyartemisgirl: some of the teachers decided that the playground equipment was boring
moonyartemisgirl: so they divided up into groups and took a bunch of the kids on a hike
warpedmind125: smooth
moonyartemisgirl: two teachers to a group
moonyartemisgirl: 3 groups
moonyartemisgirl: I stay behind, watching the kids on the playground
moonyartemisgirl: 1 groups gets back and rejoins the playground
moonyartemisgirl: another group gets back
moonyartemisgirl: last group doesn't get back
moonyartemisgirl: for two hours, no one has heard from them
warpedmind125: wow
moonyartemisgirl: they're not responding on their walkies
moonyartemisgirl: finally, Miss Leah, the Big Boss, gets a call on her cell phone
moonyartemisgirl: the last group got lost in the forest
warpedmind125: the fuck?
moonyartemisgirl: they're in wilkinsburg
warpedmind125: idk where that is
moonyartemisgirl: neither do I
warpedmind125: i suppose 2 hours away
warpedmind125: by food
warpedmind125: *foot
moonyartemisgirl: only that they came out on the wrong side of the forest
moonyartemisgirl: it's not, I think
moonyartemisgirl: they went in circles like morons for a large part of it, probably
moonyartemisgirl: so they trek back through the city to get back to the park
moonyartemisgirl: OH
moonyartemisgirl: and there's a BLACK FAMILY REUNION going on at the pavillion in the park
moonyartemisgirl: and they are blasting rap music
warpedmind125: haha
moonyartemisgirl: with swear words
warpedmind125: haha
moonyartemisgirl: and the kids are dancing to it
moonyartemisgirl: and having a dance off
moonyartemisgirl: which means they are attempting to break dance and getting hurt again
warpedmind125: lol
moonyartemisgirl: and the little kids are repeating the new fun words they are hearing!
moonyartemisgirl:
!
moonyartemisgirl: *dies*
moonyartemisgirl: OHHH
warpedmind125: lol
moonyartemisgirl: and one girl
moonyartemisgirl: and a boy
warpedmind125: it just keeps going
moonyartemisgirl: decide they are going to play house
moonyartemisgirl: so they are playing house
moonyartemisgirl: and they decide they want a child
warpedmind125: oh god
moonyartemisgirl: and they are not satisfied with playing pretend
moonyartemisgirl: so they look around for something suitable to be their child
moonyartemisgirl: and come across the earthworm
moonyartemisgirl: the earthworm that we later had to retrieve from the girl's goddamned vagina, because she couldn't give birth to it like she'd planned
warpedmind125: XDDDD
moonyartemisgirl: my god, dave
moonyartemisgirl: it was insane
warpedmind125: i'm so glad i dont have your job
